The other day, I was returning home from Panthapath to Banani by a CNG scooter. As usual, I was confined by the never-ending jam in Manik Mia Avenue. I was shriveled and exhausted by the scorching heat and the flaming sun. It seemed to me that my whole body was scalding as I couldn't move my parched lips because of extreme thirst. My every breath was wasting like a burning candle as I was losing my vigour and endurance. Suddenly, I saw a black, furious and mammoth like cow rushing towards the footpath as it had escaped from its owner's grip. The startled passers-by were moving away from the direction of the cow. A young man and his girlfriend were strolling and weren't conscious about what was going on and unfortunately, the cow jabbed at the back of him. The cow thrust him near the footpath but he wasn't seriously injured.

How could such things still happen in a city?
