Through the smog of our making: Journey back from Nijhum Dwip

on our way back from Nijhum Dwip, we enjoyed a great sunrise in a misty river setting...... but the more we got closer to the Capital City, the more we got the touch of industrial noise...... the fog got mixed with the pollutants and presented in front of us as "smog"..... the industrial units on the riverbank reminded us of our responsibilities towards the environment......

eclipsed future..........

it is us who choked ourselves; and it is us to blinded ourselves........ and it is us who eclipsed our future...... did we ever think what we were leaving behind for our followers??

Through the forest, towards Chuakhali, Nijhum Dwip........

at last I had been able to do something with the glimpses from Nijhum Dwip tour...... although I'm yet to be able to even start the Nijhum Dwip travel blog....... but I do hope to gradually share some experiences from this memorable tour......

on our second day at Nijhum Dwip, we were going to Chuakhali, the southernmost part of Nijhum Dwip.... during the last part of the one-and-a-half hour's walk, we were going through the mangrove forest in the fading late afternoon light..... we had the opportunity to meet and talk to some hard-working children...... their faces could tell a lot about the hard life on the remote island......



Shahnoori is a typical child on the remote island of Nijhum Dwip....... her shabby clothes grossly show off her family's economic condition, but her smile portrays her dreams, and constantly reminds us what keeps them alive......
