Bogra

 Rickshaw men in front of Bogra Court

Tea stall in front of Bogra Court

Your life is your choice... I have to agree with that.. Whatever choice you have made, try to make the best out of it and ENJOY it... that's what I can say with these people. From my own perspective, it is such a hard work to paddle around the busy town of Bogra. Furthermore, with the never ending traffic of cars, lorries, motorcycles, rickshaws, budbudhi (a type of transportation well known in the country) as well as CNG (actually it is  like a 'tut tut' in Thailand or Auto in India- since it is using CNG gas to operate the engine, so people call it as CNG compared to some other countries where NGV is more widely used).

Back to the 'hardwork'.. I realized that those people who work as rickshaw paddlers are so contented and happy to 'sail their ship' against the stormy ride of Bogra traffic... In fact they showed their lighter side(while waiting for customers) by asking me to snap their photos while enjoying their tea brake. Besides that, people in the tea stall are also happily sipping their tea with no stress and enjoying each others company despite having to operate from a small stall in the compound of the Bogra court.

At the end of the day, you are the one who needs to decide either to be stressed or making the best out of what you have and slowly progress from there. That is what I really learnt from these people. Though for us, they are living such a hard life, yet for them.. they are facing it bravely and even still have the time to entertain us. That shows how thankful they are for having a job rather than begging and they are proud to actually do their job, day in day out... Kudos Bhai....
