A Winter Morning

Winter is one of the six seasons in Bangladesh. It is the coldest season of the year. A morning in winter is misty and cold. There is dense fog everywhere. Things even at a little distance can hardly be seen. Everything looks hazy. This causes disruption to the communication system. Dew drops fall at night. Sometimes shivering cold spell causes serious sufferings to animals. It causes much suffering to the children also. Village people gather straw and dry leaves to make fire to warm them. The old and the children bask in the sun. Usually people get up late. In a winter morning people in Bangladesh enjoy different kinds of ‘pithas’. Delicious sweetmeats are also prepared with date juice. But a winter morning is a curse for the poor. They suffer much for want of warm clothes. The scene of a winter morning disappears as the day advances. A winter morning is pleasant for someone and unpleasant for the other.
