Tangail

It takes about two and a half hours by car from Dhaka to reach this town. Being just a district headquarter, it cannot boast of many places worth sightseeing, but notwithstanding there are a few interesting places. There is a museum and a university. There is a huge Kali mandir (AFAIK, Kali is the Hindu goddess of love and death). Gopal Mistan Bhandar, a sweet shop, from where sweet are sent all over Bangladesh. And of course, the amazingly long and awesome Jamuna Bridge. It looks simply marvelous at night. The bridge is not situated right next to the town. No. It took about one or one and a half (I am unable to recall accurately) hours by bus from Tangail to reach this place.

Before coming to Tangail, Abid bhaiya proposed the plan that we should all have a barbeque in Tangail. Well... the plan was barbequed.
