The Seasons of Bangladesh

There are six seasons in Bangladesh. They are summer, Rainy-season, autumn, Late-autumn, winter and spring. Two months make a season. Each season has its own features. The earth moves on its orbit. The season changes here due to the annual motion of the earth. The country is right by called the playground of the nature. Seasons are the vital role of nature. Here the nature changes alternatively after every two months. Such a change is called a season. The people also feel different in each season. They forgot the monotony of life and start their daily work newly.
Description of the seasons:
Summer:
The first season in Bengali calendar is the summer. Baishakh and Jaistha consists summer. During summer the sun shines hotly. The heat is terrible. Water goes dry, ponds, Tanks, canals, lakes, streams and small rivers go dry. There is scarcity of water everywhere. People can not work at ease. Summer is also the season of various fruits, various seasonal fruits ripe then. Sometimes kalvaishakhi sweeps over the country and causes harm and renders many people homeless.

 


The Rains:
After summer comes the rainy season. It is the second season. ‘Ashar’ and ‘Sravan’ are the months of rains. The sky is overcast with clouds and the sun cannot be seen for hours even for days. It rains heavily now and then. Roads become muddy. Sometimes Cats and dogs and sometimes 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. At this time people move by boats. Sometimes it rains so heavily that it causes flood and brings untold miseries to people. Sometimes floods occur and people suffer. The main two crops of
Bangladesh, rice and jute, grow in this season.
The autumn:
After the rain comes the Autumn. Bhadra and Arshin are the months of this season. Rain is not so copious. The sky is clear and white clouds float in the sky. The sky looks deep blue and flowers bloom in this season. Days and nights are almost equal.
Late-autumn:
The autumn rolls into the late autumn. ‘Kartic’ and ‘Agrahayan’ are the months of the autumn. Dew-drops begin to fall. Paddy ripens and is cut down in this season. It is the season of dew and farmers look happy. They are busy in harvesting. They perform the Nabanna. It also hints the arrival of winter.
Winter:
The late autumn is following by the winter. ‘Poush’ and ‘Magh’ are the months of winter. Winter looks gloomy. It is very cold then and days are shorter and nights are longer. Trees become bare of leaves. Days are very short and the nights are very long. People shiver in cold. The poor suffer much from cold. They gather dry leaves and straw to warm themselves. Birds and other animals also suffer from cold. People warp 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. 'Falgoon' and 'Chaitra' make this season. It is called the king of seasons. The spring comes after winter. It is the season of Flowers. It is neither too cold nor too hot. The most pleasant and enjoyable part of the year is Spring. New leaves shoot out. Trees and plants look beautiful. The Earth smiles with fresh beauty. In this season the sky is not cloudy. So the sky is bright. And at night the moon arrive at full blossom. There is joy in every mind. Though the spring is the season of flowers. But the cuckoo is an attraction of this season. the sweet song of cuckoo moves our mind with joy. Not only cuckoo but also other birds like Doel, Bou kotha kao, songs sweetly in this season. The flower blooms and give us sweet scent all around. The gentle breeze blows. More over all the beauty of this season is enjoyable. All other seasons have demerits and disadvantages. But the spring season has no demerits. It has only good side. There is a joy in nature everywhere. Thus moves the cycle of six season. Each season has its own influence on the people of Bangladesh. We are lucky to have six seasons in our country.

It is a big and famous village. It is about two miles and one mile wide. Directly through the village runs the high and long WAPDA road. On either sides of the road there are fields and meadows.

The inhabitants of the village are mostly Muslims. A scheduled caste Hindu family also live here. The inhabitants live in the village in peace and amity. They are much helpful and co-operative. They help each other. They share other’s sorrows and sufferings. In fact the conduct of the people of our village is worthy of imitation by others.Life in our villages is generally dull and monotonous. The village people are simple, religious, conservative and mostly ignorant. The villager’s of Bangladesh may be divided into three classes the rich, the middle class and the poor labouring class. The rich are very few in my village, because they generally leave the village for towns. The vast majority of the villagers belong to the poor working class. They are poor peasants, landless labourers, the artisans, the blacksmiths, the weavers, fishermen and such others. Those who are rich are erse loving and lead an idle life. But they are very powerful people in the village. The middle class people are more active. Some of them are landholders. They themselves do not cultivate the land but engage labourers. Who do the work for them? The business men among the middle class are prosperous. There are some shrewd people in the village who keep up quarrels. The poor labourers are the busiest people in the village. They work from sunrise to sunset and supply the rich with their daily needs. They often suffer from malaria and other diseases and their life is tale of endless sufferings. Our village is famous for various cultural activities like Jatra, Jarigan, the boat race and the bullock race etc. means of communication to and from our village is very developed. Roads of roads and Highways department runs through our village from the district headquarter that leads to the district of Chandpur. There is a motor launch station where launch service from Kachua to Dhaka stops and take passengers.Our village is very much developed in respect of education. There are a lot of educational institutions. There are a lot of educational institutions in our village. The village has a college, two high schools, three primary schools, a Dakhil Madrasah. There are also a post office and a big market here. There are five pucca mosques and tow madrasha in the village. Young learners from nearby villages come to receive their education in different institutions of our village. An adult education centre has been started to educate the illiterate people. It is heartening to note that the people are going in for rural co-operative societies and modern method of agriculture to improve their lot. Inspire of the above conditions, the village life offers a charm of a corporate life. The natural scenery of the village is very attractive. A small branch of the river Meghna and a big canal flow by the village. The fresh breezes blow in the morning and the evening. They cool our tired body and offer us restful time. The sky looks beautiful at sunrise and sunset. Birds sing sweetly trees give cool shade. Boats sail in the rivers rows of coconut trees, betel, nut trees, clumps of bamboo and the fields with green crops increase the beauty of the village. My native village is One of the ideal village of Bangladesh. I think our villages are an abode of peace and happiness. We are proud that we live in such an ideal village.
