Hello friends, like every day, today I wake up in the morning and brush myself. Today I am a little late in the office. In the morning, the roads are empty, but in the afternoon, the roads are jammed and crowded with a lot of cars. Today I faced this jam as I came late to office.Even so, I left with some time in hand so that there is no problem or delay in reaching the office even if the road is jammed. A little further, it can be seen that some students of Polytechnic University blocked the road in seven streets of Dhaka to get their demands. Due to which the car can no longer move forward.But there was nothing to do I had to go to office so I got off the bus and started walking forward and along the road I crossed the student movement and took a rickshaw so that I could reach office a little faster. Before getting into the rickshaw I asked my uncle how much the fare was till my destination and he told me 100 taka.I think 100 taka rent is too much. So I told him I will give 60 taka, he agreed to that 60 taka, then I got into his rickshaw and headed towards my destination. Coming a little further, I saw that the traffic signal had fallen again. So by then I had some conversation with my uncle.

And took a picture from the back of the rickshaw puller, many others like me are moving forward without getting the rickshaw. I asked the rickshaw-puller, did uncle study anything? He replied no I studied up to class five as a child my educational qualification is very low. I could not get more education because my father was poor.But I really wanted to study. Now I regret if I could still study it would be great! But due to age and family reasons, I can no longer do it. My family has five members including me and all their personal needs and food comes from this rickshaw.It becomes very difficult for my family if one day I am unable to pay the rent due to some illness. We daily earn money daily if we miss one day we face problems the next day.

Friends, I am very pleased to hear about this rickshaw driver. Despite how difficult their livelihood is, talking to him seems to be a very free minded person. Finally the traffic signal gave up and we left for office again towards Kakrail More finally I reached and paid 60 rupees to the rickshaw driver.I faced another problem when I went to pay the money, after giving him a 100 taka note, he is not able to return the remaining 40 taka to me because he does not have a spare 100 taka and neither do I. Then having no way, I want to take help from the shopkeepers on the side of the road and don't retail 100 rupees from them.Then I managed to pay the rickshaw puller 60 rupees and after paying 60 rupees I left for office. And while getting down from the rickshaw I didn't take a picture of the empty rickshaw where the rickshaw puller was a little beside me I was sitting alone in the rickshaw just then I didn't take a picture which you can see on the screen below.

Finally I reach office on time and complete office activities on time. After finishing office work I left for home again and reached home.And I keep feeling this rickshaw driver's attitude in my head all day long. Although he wanted to go to school and study, he could not attend school due to poverty. And still he has a strong desire to study but is unable to do so due to age.
