In life, numerous incidents take place that leave a mark on us. From these events, we can learn a lot. People learn from life, and this becomes their lifelong learning. Today, I will share with you an event that happened in my life. This incident was very thrilling and taught me a lot.
My Story |

The date was June 7th last month. We were going to our village home in Dinajpur from Dhaka for Eid. We had already bought our train tickets. That evening, we left the house around 7:30 PM and started heading towards Narayanganj railway station. When we got into the auto-rickshaw, it started raining heavily.

When it has been raining
The rain was so intense that we got half-drenched. We wondered if we would even make it to the station in this rain. Finally, we reached Narayanganj railway station at 8 PM.A demo train goes from Narayanganj to Dhaka's Kamalapur railway station. Usually, the demo train leaves Narayanganj for Dhaka at 8:30 PM. However, that day the station master informed us that due to a mechanical fault, the train would depart at 10 PM.

The train from Kamalapur railway station to Dinajpur was scheduled to leave at 11:15 PM. We got anxious, wondering if the demo train could get us to Kamalapur railway station on time. We began to sweat with worry because during Eid, it's almost impossible to get tickets as they become extremely valuable.
Finally, the demo train departed from Narayanganj railway station at 10:10 PM. It arrived at Kamalapur at 11:10 PM. We quickly moved from platform 8 to the main platform. Soon, we saw on the LED billboard that our desired train was on platform 6. We hurriedly carried our bags and trolleys and went to the train door. Due to the Eid rush, the train was so crowded that it was challenging to get on. After some delay, we managed to find our seats. Once seated, we felt quite unwell because it was extremely hot, and the fan inside the train barely provided any relief.
Our Panchagarh Express train left for Dinajpur at 11:30 PM, 15 minutes late. The train was so crowded that people were standing, and even the spaces between the seats were occupied. It was incredibly hot, making us feel miserable. We wondered if we would reach home in a good and healthy condition. The train was moving at a high speed, but the sad part was that at some stations, the train had to slow down. Around 4 AM, we ate some food we had brought with us. Finally, we arrived at Dinajpur railway station at 11 AM on June 8th.

It took another two hours to reach our home from the station, so we got home around 1 PM. Our journey took approximately 18 hours in total.

At last, we could breathe a sigh of relief and were immensely grateful to the Almighty for allowing us to reach home safely and successfully.
"I have learned from this incident."
This journey gave us an extraordinary experience. Every chapter of life is special and valuable, helping us determine the meaning and purpose of our lives. During this journey, we were not just focused on reaching our destination but were prepared to enjoy every moment of the journey.
Certainly, being patient in times of trouble and having faith in the Creator is crucial. It helps maintain mental stability and find solutions during challenging situations.
