Greetings fellow travel enthusiasts

Since childhood my exposure to train journeys brought me pure happiness and thrilled sensation. Train travel holds a unique charm because passengers can observe beautiful landscapes as their train glides past alongside the delicate train vibrations. The atmosphere was exceptionally honored because it marked my son's inaugural train transit. I had taken a train journey seven years ago in 2018 but this time we chose Ruposhi Bangla Express to travel from Dhaka to Jashore. The transportation route begins at Dhaka and continues to Benapole with a brief stopover at Khulna and Jashore station.

This trip turned out to be extraordinary because we traveled to our goal in a swift manner. The travel duration from Dhaka to Jashore became possible in just two and a half hours because of the Padma Bridge construction. As the train traversed the bridge we obtained an incredible sight which made our journey even more pleasant.

We started the day with enthusiasm because we prepared for our trip at dawn. Our scheduled train departure at 11:30 AM so we arrived at Kamalapur Railway Station according to the time. Upon arriving at the station we observed that a train rested on its platform. To him the actual train seemed magical since all he knew about trains existed from television only. The journey became more wonderful because of his enthusiastic nature. We took photos to remember our cheerful mood before stepping onto the train.

We secured an AC cabin for comfort then the train left exactly when it was meant to depart. The natural scenery outside our window became more beautiful when the train advanced. The countryside extended endless stretches of green fields and mustard plantations together with vegetable farms. The outdoor landscape of peaceful countryside appeared through the window as a refreshing sight.

A seller arrived to provide coffee and breakfast to guests after some time. I purchased a cup of coffee and selected chicken fry and toast as well as a chicken cutlet. The coffee at the hawker stall was satisfying but the standard of the food remained average so I could not finish many of my meals.

Together with my husband we chose to leave our cabin so we could see the sights better. The extraordinary trip became unforgettable through the fresh clean oxygen and a rhythm of cruising locomotive sounds and endless stretches of green countryside. We continued taking photographs to make these special instances permanent memorials.

We arrived at Jashore Station after a period that felt unbelievably short even though we realized we had traveled there. The brief journey proved to be one of my most memorable train travels until now. Stepping off the train, his joyful expression became the best summary of our entire experience. We rode an auto-rickshaw while holding precious memories about our seven-year-delayed but rewarding trip.

This journey by train from Dhaka to Jessore presented itself as an attractive celebration of basic travel delights. My feelings of happiness grew strong when we attended this train ride after seven years because it brought back the soothing vibrations of rail travel that delightfully accompanied my son's first time riding a train. Our trip will stay forever dear to me because of its wonderful landscapes along with our exhilarating adventure and all the pleasant memories we made. A brief and memorable expedition wound up in pure happiness combined with nostalgic memories. 🚆😊
