Being Creative With Art Can be Just as Therapeutic as Talking About it  Now this is something that I've not only heard about whenever it appears as a news item on TV or after I have read about in articles but I genuinely admit that it is something that has long since interested me and has only grabbed my attention again when it was mentioned as part of a news item on TV. First and foremost using art as a means of therapy was something that I would never have considered if you had asked me this a decade ago, mainly as I wouldn't have seen the point of it.

Nature's unpredictability, missed ships, Cyclone "Bulbul," and enduring camaraderie shape our memorable journey to Char Kukri Mukri. Zeaul Haque portrait the story of the journey. Char Kukri Mukri is a wildlife sanctuary located at the mouth of the Meghna River in Bangladesh. It is formed by the accumulation of silt caused by the overflowing Meghna. The island is also known as the dream island. Our Nonggor Travel Express Group embarked on a long-awaited camping trip to Char Kukri Mukri with members Tareq Bhai, Russell, and Sifat. Raj, Himel, Anik Bhai from Nikunja, and Suez Bhai from Tangail also joined. After a train breakdown, we reached Kamalapur and then Sadarghat. Despite delays, we finally reached the Sadarghat launch terminal around 9 pm due to a political meeting and traffic. Ganer Ashor on Ship’s Deck We missed the Bhola ship, so we chose the luxurious Ship Manami in Barisal as per Himel's suggestion. Moonlit music by Russell and Himel on board captivated us.
