There are six seasons in Bangladesh. Each season has its own
features. We hear new sounds and enjoy new scenes in each season.
Nowhere in the world are the six seasons so sharply felt as in
Bangladesh. Everything changes. The people also feel different in each
season. They forget the monotony of life and start their daily work
anew. Summer its feature: The first season in Bengali calendar is the
summer. Baisakh and Jaistha constitute summer. During summer the sun
shines hotly. The heat is terrible. Water goes dry. Ponds, canals, lakes
and small rivers go dry. There is scarcity of water everywhere. The
earth gets parched. People sweat at the slightest work and become tired
and thirsty. There is sultry hot. People can not work at ease. Summer is
also the season of various fruits. Various seasonal fruits ripe then
sometimes Kalbaishakhi sweeps over, the country and causes harm and make
many people homeless. The Rains: After summer comes the rainy season.
It is most welcome to people because people heave sigh of relief from
excessive heat. The sky is overcast with clouds and the sun can not be
seen for hours even for days. It rains heavily now and then, sometimes
cats and dogs and in small drops. Ponds, canals, lakes and rivers are
full to the brim. The earth and roads are wet and muddy Rain is a great
blessing for our country. Our agriculture depends on this rain. If the
rain does not come in time, our farmers can not reap a good harvest,
Rain carries away the filths and darts everything in nature looks fresh,
at this time people move by boats, Some times it rains so heavily that
it causes flood and bring untold miseries to people. The autumn: After
the rain comes the autumn. Bhadra and Aswin are the months of this
season. Rain is not so copious; the sky is clear, White clouds float in
the sky. People especially the farmers look happy because they go to the
market with loads of jute and earn money. The Hindus perform their
Durga puja in this season. The late autumn the autumn rolls into the
late autumn, it is the season of dew and farmers look happy. They are
busy in harvesting. They perform the Nobanna. It also hints the arrival
of winter. Winter: The late autumn is followed by the winter. Winter
looks gloomy. Trees become bare of leaves, Days are very short and the
nights are very long, people shiver in cold. Winter is welcome to the
rich because they can wear their warm clothes but the poor suffer much
from cold. They burn dry leaves and straw to warm them. Birds and other
animals also suffer from cold. People wrap themselves with quilt and
blanket when they go to bed at night. Various delicious vegetables grow
in this season and people eat them. It is the season of fog. Spring:
Spring is the best of all seasons. It is neither too cold nor too hot.
Tree's get new leaves and flowers. A gentle breeze blows and makes
everyone happy. The sweet song of the cuckoo is heard. Thus moves the
cycle of six seasons. Each season has its own influence on the people of
Bangladesh.
