Being a Dhakhaite, facing traffic jams is nothing new; moreover it has become an inevitable part of our regular routine. Everyday I go out in the streets keeping in mind that I will have to face traffic congestion. But my whole concept of the every-day traffic jam changed the other day. I got on a bus from Shahbaag to my university, which is an hour's ride. It was like any other normal day other than the fact that there was a heavy downpour in the early morning. When my bus had crossed the Bangla Motor crossing, we had in fact spent at least an hour and 10 minutes, all because of the water logging on the particular road. This is the actual and pathetic scene of the city's traffic situation, which comes to a complete halt due to rain. I did reach my destination though, after three and half hours and an hour late for my semester final exam. I wonder what is going to happen in the rainy season, which is going to hit us very soon.
