.Journey to the Clouds: A Tale of Sajek's Tranquil Escapes

Sajek Valley, located in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh, is a captivating sanctuary renowned as both "The Kingdom of Clouds" and "The Terrace of Rangamati. Gathered as a group of seven adventurers, we embarked on a journey that promised to write a story of friendship and discovery. We set out from Dhaka on December 28, 2022, to explore the kingdom of clouds.

Day 1: Setting foot in Sajek

First, we went to Khagrachori, where we rented a chander gari for our journey to Sajek, the kingdom of clouds. As we were on our way, we raced other cars and sang songs to our heart's content, making our journey more entertaining. The curvy and sloppy roads made our hearts race with excitement, boosting our spirit of adventure.


Upon arrival in Sajek, we rented a hotel and set out to explore Sajek's breathtaking beauty. Sajek welcomed us with its cloudy hills and narrow valleys.


For our first destination, we chose Konglak Pahar. Renting some bamboo sticks, we started our hike to the top of the mountain, where, upon reaching, we saw some locals selling handcrafted items. And what better way to commemorate my journey than by buying these artisans' crafts?





For our lunch, we chose the most famous restaurant and ordered their most popular item, bamboo chicken. From there, we headed to the stone garden, where old boulders revealed historical tales dating back eons. We were in awe of the beauty it held.


STONE GARDEN


After some rest and taking the most jaw-dropping pictures of my life, we went out for evening snacks and met the locals. Besides the helipad, there were lots of food carts selling local delicacies. After enjoying our local delicacies, we ventured out to meet the locals, eating chai from a local shop and engaging in conversations about their culture and way of life. Upon returning to our hotel room, it started raining. And the fun fact is that we were above the clouds, where it rained. What a majestic view it was!

Day 2: Venturing into Khagrachori

Having stayed one night at Sajek, we set out to return to Khagrachori the next day. Every landmark, from the silent Nafakhum waterfall to the mysterious depths of Alutila Cave, left a lasting mark on our hearts. In Alutila Cave, many of us became injured while others enjoyed it. Also, we visited the hanging bridge where we ate, enjoying the most remarkable view of our lives in front of us.


NISANG WATERFALL

Having had such a wonderful time, we were in awe of Bangladesh's splendor. It's a country of vast wilderness and unending beauty. Having made memories that would last me a lifetime, we set out for our journey back home. Even though our journey has ended, our hearts still burn brightly due to the spirit of exploration, paving the way for many adventures to come.

   Imagine a lush oasis filled with exotic plants and towering greenery, said to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Isn't it intriguing? Let me introduce you to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. These gardens were like a green paradise, with plants stacked on top of each other in terraces, making it look like they were hanging. People back then thought it was mind-blowing, and honestly, it still sounds pretty amazing today. But here's the twist, some historians are still debating if they actually existed or not. It's like the ultimate mystery of the ancient world. Legend has it that King Nebuchadnezzar II, back in the day around 600 BC, built these incredible Hanging Gardens next to his fancy palace, which they called "The Marvel of Mankind." Why? Because his wife, Queen Amytis, was feeling homesick for the lush landscapes of her homeland. Can you imagine? So, he decided to surprise her with this epic garden paradise, complete with all sorts of plants...

"The Strength and Resilience of Single Motherhood"

In a world where family dynamics vary widely, the journey of single motherhood stands as a testament to the remarkable strength, resilience, and love that define the human experience. As we explore the complication of this journey, we uncover stories of triumph, moments of vulnerability, and the unwavering determination that propels single mothers forward. Single motherhood — a phrase that carries many stories of strength, perseverance, and resilience. It takes a village to raise a child yet single mothers are out there doing it all by themselves — juggling a million other responsibilities, and dealing with social stigma. Despite all these barriers and challenges, these mothers are shattering stereotypes and exceeding expectations. Story Of Shahana Zafor: Dr Shahana Zafor, currently the director of the Fundraising Department at Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), usually makes a good first impression. A recent rendezvous on a Friday was no different. Within a few minutes of the c...

The Strange World of Professional Wrestling

Image
  When people hear the term wrestling they think about people in shorts fake fighting. They generally aren't aware of the unique attributes that the business of pro wrestling has. This is the only industry in the world where perception truly is reality and the actual truth may not be important whatsoever. I personally believe that people can be attracted to pro wrestling in three ways. One of them is physically impressive maneuvers being executed with  the cooperation of the wrestlers in the match. The second one is exposure to larger than life characters. The final way is the stories being told in context of the wrestling show in a vacuum. Sometimes when people see a move being done in the wrestling ring that they can't believe is possible they become mesmerized. They may start watching other wrestling in the hopes of seeing something that impresses them as much if not more. Even though this may the most common way people first start watching pro wrestling this will not keep ...
