First day in desert

"Who likes to write in the national news paper after the end of the mission?" asked by His Majesty the Ambassador of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh to Kuwait in our farewell dinner. I raised my hand with others. Today after 16 years I could remember all my stories which shaped me up to date. I am in a kind of nostalgia....

"This land is full of bomb, bomb-lets, mine and other dangerous thing..." kept on by our Deputy while we were standing beside a desert at the outskirts of Al Jahra of Kuwait. " You have to be very careful while dealing with this modern weaponries .... as you can understand these do not recognise the friend or foe...."

I was a bit shaky with my only beloved LIFE! After all we all of us love our own life. I stared at the open desert where I had to be there for next twenty months or so. I could see nothing more than sands embracing the sand dunes! Since I am a man from a riverine country, seeing desert for the first time was a great surprise for me at that moment! However I could hardly imagine that there were a lot of dangerous stories awaiting for me ...
