I am going to talk about a very important experience that I recently had when I was stuck in traffic congestion for a long time. Actually, my friend and I planned a weekend. We decided to go to Dhaka on the weekend and have a lot of fun. I was pretty excited. It was planned to travel by bus. The next morning, when I reached the bus stop, I received a phone call from my friend who cancelled the program for some reason. But I decided to travel alone. I remember it was a pretty hot day. And I board an air-conditioned bus. It was fully packed and somehow I managed to get a seat. But the journey was quite uncomfortable. It had been hardly 30 minutes and the bus suddenly stopped. There was a huge jam. And there was a long queue of vehicles ahead. The bus driver stopped the engine and went out to enquiry. It was really difficult to spend the time waiting for this bus. So I decided to play a game on my mobile phone. But suddenly my mobile phone stopped because my mobile phone battery got flat. In the meantime, we got to know that the jam is because of road accidents. And it may take a long time before the police let the vehicles to move. So I felt very bored. It was the highest of the patient because I could not wait anymore. And I was too much irritated because of the constant honking and toxic forms of other vehicles. And that’s why I decided to get off the bus and board a bus going on other direction. Finally, after wasting around four hours, I was baking home. And I was really frustrated because there was a traffic jam completely.
