Assalamu Alaikum. OCD community members, hope everyone is well. Today I will present to you story of the truck driver. . Let's begin.
Md. Jasim Uddin is a truck driver, in his fifties. The impression of fatigue and experience is evident on his face. He spent most of his life transporting goods from one end of the country to another. His story is like the story of thousands of truck drivers in Bangladesh.
Jasim's life began in a small village in Chittagong. Father was a farmer. Education did not go far in a world of scarcity. As a child, seeing a lorry on the village road instilled in him a fascination for driving. At the age of 20, he first started working as a helper. After years of hard work and experience, he became a driver himself.
Jasim drives the truck every day from early morning to late night. His job is sometimes carrying cargo containers, sometimes garments, and sometimes rice and pulses. Traversing the long and sometimes horribly bad roads of Bangladesh is his daily routine. Rain, fog, or hot sun—he has to work under any conditions. His family lives in the village. Wife, one daughter and two sons. The elder daughter is in college, and the younger sons are in school. Jasim is constantly working hard to educate his children. His wife manages everything in the family, but Jasim does not spend much time with them. Go home once or twice a month, even for a day or two.
Truck driving is not only hard work but also risky. Jasim often says, “Driving here is a game of life and death. Road accidents, fear of robbers, and car mechanical problems—everything has to becontended with.” He was once robbed by a robber on the streets of Sylhet late at night. He somehow managed to return with his life on the journey.
Jasim's big dream is to educate his children. He wants his children not to choose a life of suffering like he did. He believes that they will get a good job after completing their studies and free him from this difficult life. Jasim Uddin thinks, “Life is like a long road. Many obstacles will come, there will be many storms. But if you keep going, the destination is possible.” Every moment of his life is proof of this.
This story is not only Jasim's but it is a reflection of the life struggle and dreams of millions of truck drivers in the country. They are risking their lives every day to keep the country's economy running, but their stories remain unseen.
