300 Feet even a few years ago was, for me, the 'edge' of
Dhaka. Back then it was more popularly known as Baluchor. It was
desolate, and empty – except for a few fuchka-chotpoti and tea stalls here and
there. And I never dared to cross that edge, even though I often wondered what
lay beyond. But today, 300 Feet is possibly one of the favorite hangout places
in Dhaka.If you fancy a relaxing drive, 300 Feet is your answer. Bikers and
cyclists, too, flock there for stunts or a recreational ride.300 Feet has become
a favorite hangout place. Yes, there are a number of universities nearby, but
people from all corners of Dhaka come here for its ambience, food, and live
music. As the sun goes down, 300 Feet lights up, with its glitz, glitters, and
songs creating an air of festivity. When I walk on 300 Feet today, I find it
hard to believe that it is the same isolated Baluchor where I used to hang out
as a college student. But when I walk a little further - away from bustling
food scene - the rustic vibe and the seclusion still is much prevalent. 300
Feet has remained a little slice of heaven!
