THE SEASON I LIKE MOST
Bangladesh is a country of six seasons. It is a unique
phenomenon in the world. The heavy rainfall carried by the moisture laden
monsoon winds give Bangladesh
its unique climate. And this season, called the Rainy season, is my favourite
season.
Let us first dwell on its merits. The
rainy season is a boon for the agriculture of Bangladesh. But rainy season has a
completely different appeal to me. The season brings a unique freshness to the
environment all around. Though it means I have to stay indoors most of the time
but I never miss the chance of going to the roof to have the firsthand
experience of the rain; drenching and cleansing my body and soul.
If I have nothing to do and feel
bored, I have only to look out the window and find nature in its full glory.
Even if my eyes are closed I can feel the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops
falling on the window pane. Not only the raindrops, the rainy season showcases
all of nature’s characteristics; the grumbling of thunder, the intermittent
lightning and the sky full of dark ashen clouds. It is also the season of khichuri
and Ilish. Normally, I am not much of a fan of khichuri, but it is the rainy
season and I am certainly not averse to having this delicious item. As stated
earlier, rains bring happiness to the farmer for his crops. Even though I am
not with the farmers physically, in spirit I share their joy.
The rainy season has some demerits
too. As Bangladesh
is a riverine country, too much rainfall causes widespread flooding and brings
untold miseries to the affected people. Also numerous infectious diseases
proliferate as a result of frequent heavy rains, muggy weather, and high winds.
Viral fevers, colds, swine flu, and stomach viruses are a few of the frequent
medical issues that arise during the rainy season. All said and done, I believe my liking
for this season is the simplicity by which I view nature. And I think there are
quite a few who share my feeling for this beautiful season.
