Sabethville is located in a small town named Comilla. I grew up here. My Mom, my siblings and I spent a long time here.  It is a quiet and peaceful town where the schools and colleges are not too far from our home.

Sabethville is named after my Dad, Abdus Sabeth. He died when I was twelve years old. This is my way of remembering my Dad.

Hello friends I am Ranu. I am a Bengali. I spent my early childhood away from my country Bangladesh.

My father’s job took him to a variety of cities. We were fortunate,we were exposed to these cities and also learned their language.

I was in sixth standard when my Dad passed away. The school was run by Irish nuns,who did believe the saying,”spare the rod spoil the child.”

After my Dad’s passing, my Mom wanted to move to Bangladesh. The first year we moved we stayed in my maternal Grandpa’s village. Then To Comilla.

I was lucky I was able to carry on my education. I successfully completed my Bachelor’s degree from Dhaka University.I completed my Master’s degree from the same university.

I got a scholarship to study B.Ed. from the university of Punjab,in Lahore,Pakistan. I was able to fulfill my dream of studying in London University, England.  I received a diploma in”Teaching English As A Foreign Language.”

After my marriage I moved to Montreal Canada. A year later to Gander,Newfoundland. I taught in an elementary school for a while. I moved again with my family to the capital of Newfoundland.

I think this is it.I have no intention of moving anymore.

  1. Greetings,

    I’ve been reading about Comilla, and looking at pictures. It’s a very beautiful place.

    It appears to be rich in multiple cultures. When I look, I see mosques and temples.

    Has it changed greatly? Does it still remain quiet and peaceful?

    All good wishes,

    robert

    • It has changed.There are more people now.People are moving to Comilla from the nearby villages to find work.
      It is not as quiet as it used to be.It still is more peaceful than Dhaka.

  3. I live in Manitoba where we have six months of winter. This has been one of the worst ever. I begin gardening in the middle of May and am done by end of September. You mention it is too cold to garden where you live. Just wondering what makes you think you live in a too cold climate to garden?
