A.         A JOURNEY BY TRAIN
Life is studded with many beautiful experiences and journey by train is one of them. On the 5th of the last month, I went to Kalyan by the Bombay Mail with my parents to attend a marriage ceremony of a close relative. The train steamed out of Howrah Station on time at 8:00 p.m. As it sped past stations I looked out of the window and began to enjoy the rural areas. Heavily loaded bullock carts were moving along the uneven village roads. Cattles were returning home having a trail of dust behind. At night, I looked at the sky and saw stars twinkling beside the full moon. After we had left Nagpur in the next morning, I saw green mountains extended over miles. Here and there were seen temples on the hills. The train dashed on past mountains and plains and reached Kalyan at 1:00 p.m. I got down and went out of the station with a mind brimming over with joy.
B.         A JOURNEY BY BOAT
Life is studded with many beautiful experiences and journey by boat is one of them. On the 5th of the last month, I went to Nabadweep by boat from Krishnanagar with my parents. We started our journey early in the morning. The whole nature seemed to be bathed in the mellow light of the rising sun. A gentle breeze was blowing and there were ripples on the river. Our boat was slightly swaying and we had a pleasurable situation. Both the banks of the river looked very beautiful. Children were playing on the banks while village women were bathing in the river. We reached Nabadweep and went to a nearby garden and enjoyed a picnic there. In the evening, we also visited the famous Mayapurdham and witnessed the glorious ‘Sandhyarati’ there. Then we returned home by bus. The pleasant boat trip had a soothing effect on me.
C.         My visit to a Book Fair
Books are the best friends of life. Book fairs give an opportunity to meet those friends each year. On January last, a book fair was held in the extensive Milan Sangha Maidan of our town. I lasted for five days from 2nd January to 6th January. I visited the fair on the third day with my father. Many book sellers and publishers from all over West Bengal joined this fair. At least thiry five book stalls were set up on each of the four sides of the ground and there where open spaces in front of them. They were housed in temporary sheds. They offered discount to all kind of books. They were all crowded. The most crowded, however, were the stalls which were stocked with children’s books. Cultural functions were held every day, which added to the attraction of the fair. I spent a beautiful evening there. On the whole, the fair was a profitable one for all. To meet my friends, to smell the books and suck the essence of a fair, I want to visit it again next year.
