Dhaka University is famous as not only the first and best educational institution but also for its glorious historical dimensions. Located at the heart of the capital, the university boasts of, along with many other things, the rare blessing and picturesque beauty of Mother Nature. The age-old grand figure of the towering stout trees, the heart-cooling shadows, the lullaby of the numerous known and unknown birds, the green velvety carpet under the foot all over the wide palm of Nature during summer, the rustling of grey crooked, crinkled and crispy falling leaves driven by the wind during the Autumn days, the murmuring of the thick layers of leaves under the soft and cautious claws of the night cat next to the widow this is how you can portray Dhaka University which elicits the exclamation “WOW!” from the visitors. Juxtaposed with rest of the mechanical and buzzing city, it won't be an example of an exaggeration to call Dhaka University campus the heaven of the capital. But the campus is losing its beauty these days. The authorities concerned should address the issue.
