Sunday morning, early around 6am, before it was fully light, I went to Lalbagh for a early morning walk.
It was beautifully quiet there, and I enjoyed it along with a few (hundred) other people, who were also taking advantage of the quiet scenic spot for various activities.
I had thought it would be a nice quiet spot for some early morning photos, and some nice light exercise (a gentle stroll). It seems many others also were there for exercise.
Either done by themselves, or groups, or even in classes, like this martial arts class.
Others came for more quiet activities, such as meditating on the sunrise
or reading the newspaper. I wonder how many years this couple has been coming to this spot every Sunday morning for a relaxing breath of fresh air and perusal of the week's news.
And then there were couples like this one. I could not help but wonder whether they are husband and wife, or if he is her brother chaperoning her to a meeting with friends, or potential husband.
I didn't manage to catch him on camera, but he seemed to be more interested in his phone than in being there with her.I just wish I lived closer to the park. It would be so lovely to be able to just walk over and enjoy the light morning air without having to arrange for a driver so early in the morning, or having to hunt for half an hour for a Rickshaw. They really don't start operating much till 7 on sundays. By then the park is already getting warm and very busy.
