A
journey by boat is very pleasant and interesting. A few days ago I made such a
journey with some of my friends from Demra to Ghrashal. It game me a golden
opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Nature.
It
was the 15th October of 2014, we started our journey just at 12
noon. The boatmen began to row the boat and it was moving swiftly. A gently
breeze was blowing and small waves were beating against it. We enjoyed the
beautiful sights on boath sides of the river. We saw the fishermen catching
fishes and boys and girls bathing and swimming in the river. At about 2 pm our
boat touched the ghat of a village market. Some of my friends got dwon from the
boat and bought a large “Hilsha fish”. The boatmen cooked it and we had a nice
meal.
At
about 4pm, we started our journey again. After seven hours’ journey we reached
Ghorashal at about 9pm. Some of our friends were waiting for us at the ghat.
They accorded us a warm reception. We spent a happy time with them. After a
lapse of about three hours we again got into the boat and started our return
journey. The return journey was equally pleasant.
The
boat was passing very gently. It was a moon-lit night. All my friends came out
of the hood and sat on the roof. Out of joy one of my friends began singing a
sweet song. I thought I was in a dreamland where only joy and beauty reign. The
boatman also began to sing
“ Row, row , row the
boat, gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily,
merrily, life is but a dream”
When the night advanced, we entered inside the hood and lay
down and fell asleep. The next morning when we woke up, it was daylight. Outr
boat reached Demra and we got down from the boat. Thus our journey came to an
end.
