The familiar character.

The truth about Matin.

His dress up and move seems he is with someone of his close in the train.The boy named Matin 51/2 yrs of age. Average physique and looking. The ticket checker of the train asked him" what is Your name"?. The boy replied " Matin". The checker asked him " where is your parents and why are you walking along"?. The boy answered " I am alone and enjoying the walk in the train". Where are you from? he says" from Dhaka". Where are u going now? he replied "Akhaura". Why you was in Dhaka?. "To see the fair and people of Dhaka", he answerd so simply. Aren't your mother wooried about you?." Not at all" he answered. What's your parents profession? "My father is a Bhandari(vagabond) and mother lives in slum and work here and there" he replied that he has no fear of this hustle and bustle full world.He also informed that he was in Dhaka for 3 days.After this he went all in a sudden towards the banana seller and start to gossipping with him.

My coligue described the story to us that he experienced while he was returning from his resident to here ( workplace). I just astonoished to hear this story. He confirmed me this is very normal scene for regular train traveler.

I thought about that a boy of 51/2 yrs of age went out of his home to discover the world that he dreamed. And was in his dream world 3 days all along without any fund and familiar one.And he is returning home with a joyfull mind and nobody was worried about him.

Thats the truth about more than 1 million street children that live in megacity Dhaka. Matin returned bcause of his Mother but everyone doesn't have luck like Matin. And in consequent they got a status of Street children.
