I, along with my friends, arrived at Kamlapur at about seven o’clock in the morning to catch the Rupsha Express. We boarded the train, and it left the station just in time. The train was running at a great speed. I sat by the window and enjoyed different kinds of excellent and attractive natural sights. I saw many people working in the field. I also saw woods, green fields etc. through the window. I saw the vast open fields and Mango and Sal trees. I was amused seeing the houses and trees passing by very fast. Seeing this unearthly beauty of nature, my heart was filled with indescribable pleasure and joy. At last we reached Khulna Railway station at 1.00 pm. It was a happy journey and I enjoyed it very much.
