After war of liberation in 1971,it again became the capital of Bangladesh.From my boyhood I had a keen desire to visit to Dhaka. I was waiting for that opportunity. At last the opportunity came when my uncle proposed me to go to Dhaka with him. My father also agreed and I started for Dhaka with my uncle. During my stay in Dhaka I moved from one place to another and saw many things of historical interest. The very first day whiie passing through Nowabpur Road I was charmed by the grand sights of the big shops. I went to Gulistan, D.I.T. Avenue and Matijheel Commercial Area. The fme buildings and modern offices of these areas are really things of beauty. The famous cannon of Islam Khan placed at the Osmani Garden rook me back to the glorious days of the Mughals. The Scadium, the BaituI Mukarram Mosque, the General Post Office, the Bangabhavan. the WAPDA buiidings, the Bangladesh Bank and many other tall and beautiful buildings impressed me very much. In one afternoon. I went to New Market Bashundhara city, Ramana Bhavan. Gulshan super market etc. The beautiful shops and stores of these area also attracted me. Another morning, I went to Islampur. LaJbag, Chawkbazar. On my way, I visited Ahsan Monzil. the magnificent buildings of the Nowab of Dhaka. I visited Barah Katra, Chota Katra, the Laibag KiHah. the tomb of Pari Bibi- the daughter of Subedar Shaista Khan. I also visited the mosque of Begum Bazar built during the Mughal rule.
