You all have heard about the metro rail. Maybe many of those who live in Dhaka have already traveled by metro rail. I have also heard about it. But since the metro rail has only been launched from Agar Gaon in Dhaka to Uttara Diabari, I have not taken this transport till today. Of course, despite planning and programming it many times with my office colleagues, it has been wasted. But one thing is for sure, since I like to travel a lot, my colleagues troll me almost every day about traveling by metro rail. Even two days ago, I had a plan to go to Diabari by metro rail and come back after having fun. But alas, it didn't happen. So I was kind of determined. This time I will travel by metro rail at least once. That's the idea.

I went to Mirpur Rupnagar for urgent work two days ago. Although my health was not that good. So the work there was finished by 4 pm. And no matter which way I try to get on the bus at 4 pm, it will be 8 pm. So no matter what you say, insistence and saving time, all thoughts were combined and I thought that I should first go to Agargaon by metro rail and then see what to do. This will save time and also save me from being trolled by my colleagues. So I took a rickshaw from Rupnagar and came in front of Purabi Cinema Hall and entered the metro rail station. As soon as I entered, I saw a huge area with ticket counters. There are two types of ticket counters here. One is for those who have pre-paid card holders. And the other is for those who want to buy tickets with cash. So I stood in the queue to buy tickets with cash.

My serial arrived. I thought that if I paid, they would give me a receipt. I paid for two tickets. The fare from Purbi to Agargaon was 30/- taka and 60/- taka. But they did not give me any tickets. Instead of tickets, they gave me two cards like bank ATM cards. I was very happy. I will show my office colleagues the next day with the card that I have traveled by metro rail. Then I punched the card and went inside to board the metro rail. Of course, to board the metro rail, you have to go up with the accelerator. And we did so. Then I started waiting for the unseen metro rail. Oma, the metro rail arrived in less than two minutes. As much as I was fascinated by the metro rail, I was also fascinated by the huge place where people were waiting for the metro rail. But for some time, I felt like I was in some other country in the world. It was quite nice to see such a beautiful environment.।

Then, as we approached the metro rail door, the door opened like this and we entered. As soon as we entered, the door closed again. The atmosphere inside was quite beautiful. The cool air was cool, and there was a great atmosphere. There was no crowd like in a local bus, no option to get off. There were no annoying stops at places. As much as I was enjoying the atmosphere inside the metro rail, the atmosphere outside and the view outside were no less beautiful to me. I think this is the first time I have felt so satisfied getting on something in the city of Dhaka. Although after getting off from Purbi, the train stopped at two more stations on its way to Agargaon. That too seemed to be less than a minute. Again, there are beautiful handles and seats inside the train. I think I reached Agargaon in just ten minutes after getting on the train. But if I had come by bus, it would have taken me 50-60 minutes to reach Agargaon.

But I thought I would come back after getting off the metro rail. Oh, I have to punch it again when I come back. I don't know anymore. Those cards have to be punched and inserted into the machine. Then I would have taken a few pictures first. The mood got heated. I felt like a villager from ancient times. Then I begged a lot and took two cards and took pictures. Then I got out and went to Khilanga with CNG. In just 30 minutes. However, as I was coming to CNG, I started thinking that when will this metro rail reach Kamalapur and I will be able to come to the office every day in such a beautiful vehicle! Believe me, I have a lot of trouble riding the bus to the office every day. On top of that, the amount of traffic jams. My back hurts while sitting. Anyway, the next day, I didn't make any mistake in showing my colleagues who were trolling me a picture of the metro rail. Hee hee hee.
