Cool গাড়ি চেপে বৃটিশ দম্পতির ঢাকা থেকে লন্ডন অভিযান!

দেশ পরিভ্রমণের শখ বৃটিশদের নতুন নয়। ভ্রমন ও অ্যাডভেঞ্চারের নিত্য নতুন উপকরণ বা উদ্ভট কান্ডেও উৎসাহের কমতি নেই তাদের। এবার এক বৃটিশ দম্পতির শখ জেগেছে গত শতাব্দীর পুরনো ক্ল্যাসিক রোলস রয়েসে চেপে বাংলাদেশ থেকে ইংল্যান্ডে যাবেন। গাড়ির চালক কিন্তু নিজেরাই!

রুপার্ট গ্রে ও তার স্ত্রী জেন ইচ্ছে প্রকাশ করেছেন আগামী সেপ্টেম্বরে অভিযান শুরু করবেন। ১৯৩৬ সালে তৈরি ক্ল্যাসিক মডেলের রোলস রয়েসে ঢাকা থেকে লন্ডনে পাড়ি দেওয়াটাই হবে তাদের স্বাপ্নিক সড়কযাত্রা।

এই নির্ভিক বৃটিশ দম্পত্তি অভিযানের প্রস্ততি অনেকটাই গুছিয়ে নিয়েছেন। দেশ থেকে ঐতিহাসিক গাড়ি বাংলাদেশে আনছেন জাহাজে করে। শিগগিরই চট্টগ্রাম বন্দরে পৌঁছাবে তাদের পরিবহন। সবকিছু ঠিক থাকলে ঢাকা থেকে ভুটান, নেপাল হয়ে ভারতে আরব সাগর তীরবর্তী কোনো বন্দরে গাড়ি চালিয়ে যাবেন। হয়তো বিপজ্জনক পাকিস্তান ভ্রমণে রুপার্ট ও জেনের সাহসে কুলায়নি। তাই দেশটিকে এড়িয়ে জাহাজে করে গাড়ি নিয়ে যাবেন ইরানের বন্দরে। ইরানের সড়কপথ ধরে তারা তুরস্কে প্রবেশ করবেন। এরপর তুরস্ক হয়ে ইউরোপের পথ বেয়ে চলে যাবেন নিজেদের ঠিকানা যুক্তরাজ্যে।

অভিনব এই সড়ক যাত্রাটি রুপালী ফিতাবন্দী হবে না তা কি করে হয়? এই কাজে রুপার্ট ও জেনকে সাহায্য করতে এগিয়ে এসেছে একটি স্বাধীন ফিল্ম কোম্পানি। তারা এই দম্পত্তির বিশেষ সড়কযাত্রাকে নিয়ে ডকুমেন্টারি বানাবে। এতসব কিছু করতে তো অনেক অর্থেরই প্রয়োজন পড়বে। তাই বলে উদ্যম হারাচ্ছেন না আয়োজকরা। এরইমধ্যে রোভার ফিল্ম এই প্রজেক্ট ফান্ডে অর্থ দিতে চাচ্ছে। এছাড়া ডকুমেন্টারির একটা প্রাথমিক নামও তারা ঠিক করে ফেলেছেন। তাদের ফিল্মের নাম হবে “অ্যা সেন্স অব অ্যাডভেঞ্চার।” যার একটা ট্রেইলারও তারা আগ্রহীদের জন্য বানিয়েছেন।

I actually want to drive from Lisbon to Moscow, then down to Dhaka. Maybe one day, when/if I'm retired and married to a beautiful woman who will make the trip with me. However, no beautiful wife => no trip => no glory.

I don't think I'll ever be able to take as much time off my everyday life until I'm retired and free of other commitments.

That sends 90% of your dream to the grave, better be ready to accept the trip on your own. Age and health/stamina is a big factor, I wish if I could start in a few years!

Before I was married I had a dream to go to Europe with my wife. But never got the opportunity due to several reasons like her education, pregnancy and so on. If you can afford it you might wanna do it now. You never know what the future holds...

LOL guys, I've already traveled a bit and plan on doing more of that before I settle down. But Lisbon to Dhaka via Moscow requires an enormous amount of free time (especially when you're stopping on the way) that I won't have until I'm an old man. I've done week long road trips in the past and can't afford more than a couple of weeks at a time off regular life for various reasons at this stage. So don't worry, I have a long list of things that I want to do before I let a woman change my BC password on me and am not settling until I've reached the bottom of that list.

This is pretty cool. I'm always amazed by such sense of grueling adventure.

Asif bhai is very smart. He has realized with his engineering brain that guys are appreciating value while girls are depreciating value - the age at which such thing crosses is the age at which he is living right now - ie 24 to 28.

Visual illustration:


s1 is the sexy guy. D is dangerous girl.

if you could keep yourself away from being manipulated at that desperate cross point - your life will be fulfilling.

volume is VOLUME and age for Dangarous girl (D). But "intellectual depth" and age for Sexy guy (s1). I mean intellectual depth is a flat line for D - so it is omitted.
