For several days, I was just staring at the laptop screen, coding and coding. Fixing bugs and searching for syntax errors, my head was tangled in a tangle of logic and code. It was like my brain had completely 'hung'! It felt like everything around me had become robotic like binary numbers. I realized that if I kept going like this, my brain's wiring would be torn. I really needed to restart my brain. So, leaving the illusion of the monitor, I took my smartphone in my hand and went out in search of some fresh air and greenery. A little far from the quiet environment of my familiar village, my destination was a small and beautiful place located in the heart of our Natore city - DC Park.

Today's post is not a traditional travel blog, but a story of removing mechanical fatigue and borrowing tranquility from nature. Let me take you on a tour of this beautiful park in Natore through the lens of my phone.

Welcome to the green canvas:
A wonderful scene appeared before my eyes as soon as I stepped into the park. "D.C PARK NATORE" was beautifully written in white letters on the fresh green grass. Since I live in a village, the greenery around me is nothing new to me, but seeing such a piece of fresh greenery in the crowded concrete of the city already removes half of my fatigue. As soon as I stepped inside, a beautifully paved walkway and rows of trees on both sides welcomed me.

Flower fair and play of colors:
The wonderful combination of spring flowers and leaves in the park is truly fascinating. On one hand, the pink Crape myrtle flowers that filled the trees made the surrounding environment very colorful. On the other hand, the rows of red and white flowers planted along the walkway were a strange peace to the eyes. I realized today that seeing such bright colors after leaving the black and white coding terminal is a therapy for the eyes. In particular, a strange and beautiful contrast of green, yellow and light red-orange leaves on one tree was noticed. All our graphic designs should be able to withstand this color grading done by nature itself.

Artistic architecture and sculpture:
DC Park is not only decorated with plants, but also with various artistic touches. While walking, I noticed a wonderful water fountain made of different shapes of pebbles and soil. Artificial stone stairs and a polar bear sculpture have been made for visitors to the park to sit or take pictures. However, what I liked the most was the open library inside the park. A small room that looks like a tin roof, surrounded by glass, and all the wonderful books arranged neatly inside. It is truly commendable to create such an opportunity to sit and read a book under the open sky, amidst nature. Another wonderful thing is a colorful map of Natore district made of mosaic stones. Each upazila including Lalpur, Singra, and Baraigram has been depicted separately here with pieces of red, blue, yellow, and green stone.

Unknown roots and a huge water body:
There is a collection of several unique trees inside the park. I was quite surprised to see circularly trimmed leaf-bearing trees, rows of cycad trees, and a huge cactus-like tree. However, the most eye-catching thing was the tangle of roots of the keya tree. The roots have descended to the ground from all sides, as if they were wooden sculptures made by a skilled artist! A huge pond or lake flows right through the middle of the park, with a huge lotus flower sculpture adorning the very center. While looking at the calm water, it felt like all the unrest inside was calming down.

Cloudy sky and radio tower:
From the calm water of the pond, my eyes suddenly turned to the sky. Today, the sky was quite cloudy. Against the backdrop of that cloudy sky, the huge tower of Bangladesh Television (BTV) and Bangladesh Betar stands tall. The numerous dish antennas on its body seem to want to touch the sky. Amidst such softness of nature, this huge iron tower reminded me that no matter how close I come to the peaceful nature of the village or the greenery of the park, this magic of technology and network is spread all around us.

Last words:
This little walk of a couple of hours and the episode of taking pictures with the phone camera has cleared all the tangles in my head. That 'hung' brain of coding is now completely fresh, as if I had just given a new Windows setup on the PC.

For those of you who work regularly in Hive, write content or sit at a desk and code like me continuously, I would say - take your eyes off the screen and go to a little nature during your breaks from work. You will see, both your desire to work and energy have increased many times over.

Be sure to let us know in the comments section what you think of these photos of DC Park taken on my smartphone and my little refreshment story.
