Sadarghat

I have heard somewhere that this is the biggest river port in Asia. I am a bit doubtful about it, but I am pretty sure it is among one of the biggest. There are hundreds of ferries docked side by side looking very beautiful. Each of them has a name. I had a funny feeling of dejá vu at the sight, I don't know why. Also you can go for boat rides in here. I really wanted to go boating, but Abid bhaiya felt that it wouldn’t be safe as I didn't know swimming. He was scared that I might drown if the boats overturn. Why the hell would the boat overturn? I will go for a boat ride the next time. Life is not worth living without risks.

The place is a bit crowded. We went to a tiny restaurant near the port and had tea and banana. Yes, banana. Contrary to what I heard, the people of the area are very friendly, I must mention.
