Longest sea beach in Bangladesh

Cox's Bazaar  is a seaside town, a fishing port and district headquarters in Bangladesh. It is known for its wide and long sandy beach, which is considered by many as the world's longest natural sandy sea beach.The beach in Cox's Bazar is an unbroken 125 km sandy sea beach with a gentle slope.Today, Cox's Bazar is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Bangladesh. It has yet to become a major international tourist destination, and has no international hotel chains, because of a lack of publicity and transportation.

The southern Chittagong area, including Cox's Bazaar, was under the rule of Arakan kings from the early 9th century until its conquest by the Mughals in 1666 AD. When the Mughal Prince Shah Shuja was passing through the hilly terrain of the present-day Cox’s Bazar on his way to Arakan, he was attracted to its scenic and captivating beauty. He commanded his forces to camp there. His retinue of one thousand palanquins stopped there for some time. A place named Dulahazara, meaning "one thousand palanquins," still exists in the area.

My University "Dhaka University"

The University of Dhaka  also known as Dhaka University or simply DU, is the oldest university in modern Bangladesh. Established by British Imperial Government in 1921, it was modeled on Oxbridge education.Dhaka University gained a reputation as the "Oxford of the East" during its early years, and contributed tremendously to modern South Asian history.After the partition of India, it became the focal point of progressive and democratic movements in Pakistan. Its students and teachers played a central role in the rise of Bengali nationalism and the independence of Bangladesh.

Today, it is the largest public university in Bangladesh, with a student body of 33,000 and a faculty of 1,800. It was identified by AsiaWeek as one of the top 100 Universities in Asia.However since the 1990s, the university has suffered from intensely politicized, partisan and violent campus politics promoted by Bangladesh's feuding political parties.

I miss my university life very much.
