Our boat faced the storm in the river Padma.

The River Padma is one of the biggest river of Bangladesh.
We boarded an engine boat with 150 passengers.  We will cross the river Padma.  We will go to Auricha from Dauladia.  The sky was normal.  We were crossing the large Padma river.  What a beautiful wave is swaying in the wind.  Now our boat is in the middle of the river.  Suddenly a thick black clouds in the sky.  Storm!  It is raining lightly.  Our boat is rocking.  The wind is blowing.  Captain's head is sweating.  The boat has to be controlled with difficulty.  The storm is raging with great speed.  The waves of the river are twice the size of our boat.  Disappointed in the face of all passengers.  Everyone started to go up from the ground floor.
I took off my shoes.  The luggage is coming in the boat.  I thought that was the last day of my life.  The captain of the boat told everyone to go down.  But no one was listening to him.  Forced to do so, the captain ordered the helper to lower the passengers.  But what a surprise.  No one was going down.  The boat was moving at the highest speed in the direction of the wind.

The rule is to sail in the middle of a storm.  The boat has to be operated at maximum speed against the storm.  Our boat sailed 10 km in that storm.

What is life? Really a thinkable subject. What is the life? Is this the Sunrise and the sunset? Or a daffodils flower? Or a drop of water on...
