A Journey By Train I enjoyed

A journey of any kind is a pleasure to me. A journey by train is more so. During the last autumn vacation, my brother who is working in Chittagong asked me to spend a few days with him. I readily agreed and one fine morning I started for Chittagong from Dhaka by Mahanagar Provati at 8 am. Two of my friends accompanied me. However, we bought three tickets in the first class and got into the train. At that time the station was over crowded. Before the departure of the train, we bought papers, magazines, some snacks and drinking water. After a while the train began to move. Gradually, the speed of the train increased and within half an hour our train left behind the city and was running through the green countryside. Paddy and jute fields, small villages and rivers came to our view and vanished within a twinkling of eye. We heartily enjoyed the scenic beauty on both sides of the railway track. However, after long eight hours we reached Chittagong and found my brother waiting for us at the station. Thus I enjoyed the greatest pleasure from this train journey. (Words : 192)
