Study tours are very educative and instructive. From a study tour we can gather new experience, knowledge and wisdom. Today I am going to write about a study tour that I enjoyed. In my college life, I got an opportunity to visit the Dhaka city with my friends and teachers. From my very boyhood, I felt a strong attraction for Dhaka and I had strange fancies about the name of Dhaka. But Dhaka remained an imaginary place to me so long because I could not see it with my own eyes. On the fixed day, we started for Dhaka by a microbus with my friends and teachers. Our journey was for three days. During our short stay in Dhaka, we moved from place lo place. When we passed through Nawabpur Road, we were struck with the dazzling sight of the big shops. We went to Gulistan, the D.I.T. Avenue and Motijheel Commercial Area. The wide and spacious National Stadium, the Baitul Mokarram Mosque, the tall and big buildings of Motijheel Commercial Area, the GPO and the Bangabhaban all impressed me very much. But Rarnna, the New Market, the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, the latest extension of Dhaka and Tejgaon Industrial Area presented a different sight altogether. Everything about them is new and modern. The medical college , the university, Salimullah Muslim Hall, the High Court, the Engineering Institute, the Secretariat, Hotel Sheration and Sonargaon are all designed according to modern taste. I also went to Zia International Airport and saw planes taking off and coming down. This study tour was a great interest for me. I widened my knowledge and experience by the tour. So the memory is rooted in my heart for ever.

Mother Language is a heavenly gift and blessing to the people of any nation in the world."International Mother Language Day" is a glorious and unforgettable Language Martyrs Day which is observed around the world nowadays. On 17th November 1999, UNESCO's declaration of 21st February as the International Mother Language Day has brought additional glory and prestige to Bangladesh. It is a great achievement for Bangladesh. In August 1947, a new state called Pakistan emerged on the world map. Bangladesh had a highly developed culture that was little in common with the culture of the people of the western part of Pakistan. But in 1952 the neocolonial, power hungry, arrogant rulers of Pakistan declared that ‘Urdu’ would be the state language of Pakistan. This declaration disheartened the Bangalee greatly. The people of East Pakistan whose mother tongue is Bangla, rose in anger to protest the vicious undemocratic decisions of the government. The Pakistani ruler wanted to choke the protests by brute force. As a result, Rafik, Salam, Jabber, Barkat embraced death. As the news of those deaths spread, all the people of the eastern part felt greatly involved emotionally. 21st February became a symbol of lightness and honesty. Since 1953, the immortal 21st February has been observed as a great national event all over Bangladesh and also beyond the frontiers of Bangladesh where there is a considerable number of Bangla speaking people. Now the world will remember us and we will be closer to other countries observing International Mother Language Day as it is our achievement. Cultural significance of the International Mother Language Day is enough. Nearly 200 countries of the world, various people speaking various languages and belonging to different national cultures will observe 21st February as the International Mother Language Day. Bangla is the language of our mother, our heart. We feel great pleasure expressing ourselves in this language.
