A journey by air is thrilling and at the same time enjoyable. A few days ago, I made such a journey from Dhaka to
Chittagong, It was December 23, 2002. I arrived at the Zia International Airport, Dhaka, about an hour before the flight. An
airport officer checked my ticket and did all other formalities for the flight. At
about 8:30 a.m. I boarded the plane with
other fellow passengers. When all the passengers were in, the plane took off. Soon the plane started flying high above the
land at full speed towards the destination. Looking through the window I saw patches of clouds floating around the
plane. The houses and trees below were looking like tiny toys. Rivers
flowing below appeared to be thin lines
drawn on a sheet of paper. I was beside myself in joy in such a amazing situation.
It was a short journey. In less than an hour the plane reached Chittagong Airport,
It gradually came down and landed smoothly.
Thus my first but happy and enjoyable journey
came to an end. Although I felt a little nervous at the beginning, I got it
over after a short while. I really enjoyed the journey.
