An unwritten competition with a big stick in hand
Hello Everyone.
This is @alimtutorial, from #Bangladesh 🇧🇩
A quiet afternoon and a childhood woven with fishing rods
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
I was walking along the road this afternoon. On both sides of the road, the horizon is a pair of green rice fields, and a narrow alley has been carved in between them. While walking along this path, my eyes suddenly fell on the small canal next to it. It was a wonderful scene. A few people were fishing together with fishing rods. It seemed like an unwritten competition was going on. It was like a silent battle of who would catch the fish first.
An elderly man, whose hair had turned white, was sitting very calmly. A few fishing rods were placed next to him. It seemed like he had been here for a long time. Judging by his attention, it was clear that this fishing was not just a job for him, but a kind of meditation. He might be reminiscing about an afternoon in his childhood, when sitting in such a quiet environment and fishing was the best way to entertain himself.

A little further away, a middle-aged gentleman. He was also fishing with a fishing rod, but his manner was a bit rushed. He was repeatedly raising and lowering the fishing rod. The interest in his eyes told me that he might want to be ahead in the competition. However, there was a joy in this competition too. There was no laughter or noise, just silent attention and a strange peace of merging with nature.

Another person next to him, who was even fresher, was sitting on the other side of the canal. His fishing rod was quite large. He was observing the fish coming and going very carefully. A vast green field was in front of him, small trees behind. Seeing this scene, it seemed like how peaceful it is to spend such moments in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Watching this silent fishing competition reminded me of my own childhood. How many afternoons would we go out in groups with fishing rods. The whole afternoon would be spent in the pond or canal near the house. Fishing was not the main thing then, what was important was the time spent with friends and the pure joy of merging with nature.
Today's scene reminded me of those days anew. No matter how modern life is, some love and peace are always mixed with nature. These people are proof of that. Even in this age of mobile or internet, I felt again today that there is a deep peace in sitting with a big stick.
This was my whole day today. Wishing everyone good health and longevity. I am ending my words here. Everyone please pray for me. Greetings to everyone again Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
