2023 Winter Vacation

 30^th November

2023 Final Exam had finished. We’re planning for our winter vacation. My family and my aunt’s family were planning to take out Kushtia. 1^st time we fixed the date on 20^th December for our results. But our results date got changed from our school. That’s why we had to change the date. Next time we fixed the date on 9^th December. We were started to pack our luggage. Finally, the day we were waiting for had come.   

9 December

Time 6.30 am. I woke up by my Lil sister. My sister’s shower was finished. Next was me. I finished showering and got ready at once. We finished our breakfast and were waiting for the Microbus. The Micro was reached and my father and cousins were picking up the luggage in the Micro. It was so sad for my cousin Osman Bhaia, that he had to sat in the back of the Micro with the luggage and our bird’s cage . When he was angry on my father, his face was so funny . Time 9.50 am. We were started our journey, Dhaka to Kushtia. We were had some snacks because our journey was a little bit long. Me, my Lil sister and my cousins, we were enjoyed so much. Time 12.00 pm. We were boarded in the ferry with the Micro. The river was Padma River. We had to wait for the ferry to reach the other side of the river. We enjoyed the view of the river. After the ferry, we entered in Rajbari district. Everyone is so tired of this long journey. Almost everyone was asleep. Instead, me, my parents and my cousins. After sometimes, my grandma recognized that she didn’t bring her diabetes’s insulin . Also, my father . What else to do, again had to buy such expensive insulins… Time 3.40 pm. Finally, we were reached to our destination. My other cousins were also there. After we reached, 1^st of all we prayed and then we take our lunch on 4.30 pm . Whatever, after Maghrib, we finished our milks and then… STARTED OUR MAIN GAME . It’s like the police is running after the thief. After time, when we got tired, we started to play UNO, the card game. Time 7.30 pm. Our dinner was already served . In Dhaka, we always had our dinner after 8.30 pm. That’s why it was kind a weird for us but it’s normal in villages. What else to do, we finished our dinner and then again, we started our games. After sometimes, our beds were ready we fell asleep. Next morning, time 7.00 am. We woke up and my father takes us with them to walk. Then my mother and my father take to the Gorai River. But sad that we couldn’t ride in the boat. So, we came back but forgot out root . Then my father takes us to the house. Then finished our breakfast and were getting ready for fishing. My father and my all cousins were ready to catch the fishes. But times are going and going but not a single fish they could catch. So sad . Then boys got ready for swimming in the pond. The pond in that house was so big and also so deep. I was so sad because I couldn’t swim in pond. Shower done. Then we played badminton. Then we finished our lunch and then again, we started playing badminton. But at the last moment, the cork fell on the tin roof .  After Maghrib, same things repeated. 1^st milk, then games and last dinner and then sleep. Next morning, again we woke up at 7.30 am. Then we drunk Palm Juice. Then me and my cousin Ali, we went to the side of the pond just for the view. Then we thought to catch some fish. We just sat down with the barashi with the food that was prepared for the previous day's fishing. We were troughing some foods. Then after sometimes, Osman Bhaia came and suddenly I saw the stick in Barashi was moving. Then I called Ali and he pulled the Barashi. Suddenly, a fish was caught by Ali, me and Osman Bhaia. Then Osman Bhaia came and he caught the Barashi and the fish. I ran to the house and got a bucket. Everyone was very surprised that we caught a fish for the first time. Anyway, again we were started to catch fishes. Then we finished our breakfast and same things repeated. The next day elders were planned to go to a new park named YouTube Village Park. I guessed that we will enjoy. But there was nothing to enjoy, instead accidently I twisted my ankle . First first that wasn’t too hurt, but after I took a napped, I couldn’t even touch my leg with the floor. I took some medicines from my Uncle Grandfather. After that I couldn’t played with my cousins . A few days later, my Uncle Grandfather took us to their old houses, one time they used to lived there. We took some pics. Then we went to one of my uncles, Jamal Uncle’s house. When I saw it, I was just shocked. Last time when we went to his house, the house was full of made by soil and tin. But this time, the house fully modern ! Wow! I was fully surprised. Anyways, I just wanted to see his reared cows, calves, especially goats. The baby goats were so cute . Even we fed the baby. The most awkward moment was that my Lil sister, my other 2 cousins and Osman Bhaia finished their 3 bowls of pickles . We ate snacks too. After that we came back and the evening were started same. Next day at 3.30 pm, my father takes us to a part of a river. We went there in a van. But as this was a village, normally the roots were broken. And we were 10 peoples in that van. Other peoples were laughing at us, even we were also laughing at ourselves . Then we reached to our destination. My father was looking a boat. His wanted to ride us in a boat. We waited for the oarsman. We took some pics. After sometimes, the oarsman came and we ride in a boat. But the boat was rocked again and again. We were so afraid. Also, we were enjoying too. But since we were scaring that’s why my father told the oarsman to not to go too far. So, the Oarsman didn’t take us too far. After boat riding the boat was parking. When the oarsman was parking the boat that time was so dangerous. We all get scared. The boat was rocking again and again. And this time was rocking too fast. Then we went back to the house and the next days were going like a normal day.

15 December

That would be going to our last day in Kushtia. That’s why elders decided to make us polao and chicken. Time skip to after lunch…. Ummmm…. The polao was so good. There was some food left after everyone had eaten. Time skip to next day morning. My mom said that our car was canceled. When I listened that I woke up so Fastly. Then I got ready and get out from my room. My grandfather was asking everyone that if they wanted to eat the left food in breakfast or in lunch. When I woke up and get out from my room everyone came to me and asked me. I didn’t want to eat polao in breakfast. But when grandfather said that they were not sure that we can have the food in lunch. That’s why said that to eat in breakfast. After lunch My grandma asked us that what we were want to eat. I didn’t say anything. Then they decided to cook Khichuri.  Ughh… I hate Khichuri. But I had to eat. Then in dinner we ate Fish. Next morning….

17 December

At 8.30 am. I woke up. Then I get ready and get out from my room. Then me and my cousin Ahmad went to our other cousins Naoar and Nasik. They were so sad for us. They enjoyed with us in that full week. We were sad too. Then we finished our breakfast quickly because our car was waiting for us. Then again, my father and my cousins were picking the luggage. And me and my siblings were telling Naoar and Nasik to get ready and come with us but they can’t leave with out their grandparents. What can we do else... then we get in the car and started our journey to back to Dhaka. Our 2023’s Winter Vacation is ended there. Ba bye……
