I often go to a tea stall near the station to drink tea with my friend and brother. A few days ago, while drinking tea with a friend, I saw this graffiti on a wall behind a tea shop. This graffiti is an attempt to capture one of the most significant moments in our nation's history. The graffiti features images of freedom fighters, independent Bangladesh and the flag of Bangladesh, depicting the contribution of the soldiers in the liberation war and the red and green flag of the independent country earned in exchange for their blood.

On this graffiti of flowers there are some words written in Bengali "ধন ধান্যে পুষ্পে ভরা আমাদের এই বসুন্ধরা". This line means that our country is rich in wealth and flowers. It is a patriotic song composed in Bengali language in 1905 by Dwijendralal Roy. This line reflects his love and patriotism for his country. I took this picture from a wall in our local railway station.

The pictures of 7 people on this wall are martyred in the independence war. They were awarded the title of "The Most Valiant Hero'" for their unparalleled sacrifice in the war. Besides, there is a picture of a woman next to the martyrs whose name is probably Begum Rokeya. Begum Rokeya was an educationist, feminist, thinker, writer etc. I took this picture from the wall of St. Paul Mission School. I took this picture from a wall in the railway station.
