Escape into Nature: Terms and Conditions apply

If you visit Chittagong and wish to spend some quality time in the midst of natural beauty without burning a hole in your pocket, I would suggest you to visit the Bhatiari and Patenga Sea Beach. As Chittagong has hills, Sea and lakes one might get confused about how to visit all these places in a short period of time. These two places offer you the best of both worlds and you can explore them without much hassle. Let’s start talking about them: 
Bhatiari: It’s situated about 17 km from the city center. Beautiful lakes and hills adorn the landscape. Roads going through the hills like snake seems magical during evening and the lakes look like mirror when sunlight shines on its surface. If you can spare some extra money, you can enjoy a boat ride in the Bhatiari lake. Sunset point is a must visit spot if you visit Bhatiari. From its vantage point, you can see the Bangladesh Military Academy against the backdrop of Bay of Bengal. You can see ships from there too. As the name suggests, the view of sunset from the hill is like a dream. It’s easy to go to Bhatiari from the city center. You need to go to Oxyzen more by bus or any other vehicle. After that you have to reach Hathazari link road by changing another bus and then taking a shared CNG to Bhatiari.
 Patenga Sea Beach: It’s some 22km from the city center. You can go there directly from GEC circle by bus. It’s situated on the edge of the city. Bangladesh Naval Academy and the city’s only airport is situated near it. Though construction of Bay terminal has degraded the sandy beach, still it has its own charm. If you start from the city during noon, you’ll reach there by evening when the sun starts to set. Going there you can sit on the boulders and see waves crashing into the beach, lighterage ships on the horizon. As the airport is nearby, you can see planes taking off and approaching to land overhead which will make any aircraft lover happy. You can play football in the beach with friends and end the day eating pebble sized Peyajus and tea from stalls. The entrance of the Karnaphuli Tunnel is near the beach. If you wish, you can go to Anowara through the tunnel and visit Parki Beach also. 





These two places can be visited anytime of the year but the beauty of the beach magnifies during the time of cyclones but I can’t recommend this to you because of obvious reasons. If you plan to visit Bhatiari, try to finish it before 7:00 pm because the roads are treacherous and the military imposes restriction of movement of civilian vehicles after 8:00 pm. I would recommend you to keep a budget of 500 tk for each place. If you spend wisely, you can finish the tour comfortably. Good Luck!

Engineer's Life: Expectation vs Reality

Image
E very year, many passionate students enter the field of engineering , but some end up feeling regretful after a few months. Dealing with consistent pressure can be challenging, especially when it comes to tasks such as submitting assignments, completing lab work, and taking midterms. What is worse, students come to this field believing that they don’t need to memorize anymore. Unfortunately, the reality is they need to memorize even mathematics often.   Waking up at 6 am, and then rushing to the university is a common routine for most students. Let's not even bother talking about that unfinished task they do during class. Forgetting the syllabus of the upcoming exam is a common disease for them. Sometimes students carry coffee instead of water in their water bottles. Consequently, dark circles around the eyes have become a common identifier for students who are pursuing engineering. Expectation vs Reality in Studies: When students start their first semester in university,

The Mighty Rivers : How they shaped our society, culture and litearture

Aparajita Islam Shera   ID - 24101545, Section - 02 "A river doesn't just carry water, it carries life." - A.D. Posey. Besides carrying the history of Bangladesh, the rivers highlight the livelihood of the country's people. Rivers have articulated and fragmented people's lives, politics, economy, and overall Bangladesh.  The fertile field that the mighty rivers brought, introduced a settled agriculture in Bangladesh which built up our community, societal structure, demographic patterns, etc. The economy of Bangladesh mostly depends on agriculture. Most of the people in native lands associate themselves with wet rice cultivation . Industrial development progress in Bangladesh still holds on to the primitive occupation of agriculture. Bangladeshi culture is mostly river-based. Boat race, an ethnic cultural heritage of Bangladesh, represents tradition in front of the world community. The " Bhatiali " song based on the rivers originates from Mymensingh and
