Chill in Coolest Breeze!

7^th January 2023.

It seemed to me the coolest day of this winter in Dhaka. We left our bed at dawn and flowing super cool breeze made us as shocked as we were statue! Wall clock already reached at 6:30 AM. OMG! We’re only 30 minutes left the bus would move!

-” Aafiq Baba! Get up!” our kid was sleeping then he might be dreaming to catch a cat or anything else. His mother also asked him, “Babuuuuu…...!”

Generally, in winter morning Aafiq never want to get up so easily but that morning hearing his mother’s voice just once, it was wondered that the kid boy woke up and shouted with joy, “Yaa! We’re going to picnic today….!”  

Yes! Today we have a get together named “Butterfly Family Time” at Zinda park.

Our riding bus started sharp time heading to 300 feet road of Basundhara. Inside bus we felt comfortable as all seats were filled up and density of cool winter was defeating against human body generated heat. 

But mighty nature showed his power when we reached at 300 feet and took a small break to wait for gathering all buses together. Riding down from bus, we felt the true feel of winter! What a cool air! Dense fog covered everywhere! Walk way to sky seemed to merged by fog! The density of fog was too high as fog light might not work properly there!!!

After 30 minutes, we reached at Zinda park where yellow green leaves were wet with winter fog and welcoming us moving to & fro by extreme cool air!! My kid wondered when he saw first time of his life the flash of Poddo Pukur, a pond where hundreds of red lotuses bloomed as they’re smiling to us! My kid and wife were enjoying a lot the natural beauty of Poddo Pukur.

We have had our breakfast with delicious Gorom Gorom Luci!

Then our “Butterfly Family Time” started through various games and get togethers. It’s a fine event where top management of Butterfly and all staffs mix together forgetting their positions and the joyous enjoyment made the day a true family day. Seeing the combined enjoyment guests were confused to identity who is owner or who is staff of company!!!  Even My kid asked me, “Hey Baba! Is the CEO sir staff???”

Plan green grassed open field, wide ponds, various trees, chirping of birds, tree houses etc. are the real sources of relaxation at Zinda park. Aafiq enjoyed running here and there. Actually, in Dhaka, he doesn’t have such wide way of running. He again wondered to see Basher Shako or Char, bamboo made foot-bridge, first time of life inside a wide lake. How people could pass it so easily!!

After delicious lunch, we felt the velocity of cool air increased. Aafiq started dancing with the rhythm of music to make himself warm! He participated a biscuit race and won reward that made his participation of this family time most joyous.

And then he said, “Thank you Butterfly!”
