Spring in Bangladesh


Spring is called the king of seasons. It is the best, the loveliest and the most charming of all seasons. Hence I like this season best. Indeed, it is favorite to all. In the cycle of seasons the spring occupies an exalted position. It is rich in color, beauty, music and fragrance. Though winter in Bangladesh is not so severe as that in western countries. It presents somewhat dull and dreary aspect. The scorching sun, hot days and sweating nights make life especially disagreeable in summer. The damp and humidity of the rainy season add greatly to our discomfort. Spring has none of the inconveniences of these seasons. Coming after winter it captivates the hearts of people all at once and when summer follows people bewail passing away.

Beautiful flower blooms in spring
    With the advent of spring, Nature puts on a gay and lively appearance. Every object of Nature becomes fresh. Trees put forth new leaves. Flowers bloom forth in thousands. They are of all colors. Some of them are sweet-smelling, some have no smell, but all are beautiful. The fine display of colors they present is especially fascinating. Flowers attract bees and butterflies present no less charming a sight. As soon as spring sets in, a gentle breeze from the south begins to blow. It spreads the sweet smell of flowers and makes the air balmy and fragrant. It passes through the fresh leaves and produces a sweet rustling sound in the air. To this music is added the sweet twitter of the birds. When a great variety of them! Very few claim to know the names of all of them, but we know them all by sight. The wandering notes of the cuckoo go direct of the heart. Who knows that they do not make the world appear as a fairy place to some among us?                             

       These charming sights and sounds exercise a great influence on the people of Bangladesh. Love of beauty is an inherent virtue; whether one is aware of it or not, beautiful things go on doing their work on human mind. The people of Bangladesh have a distinctive nature. Much of this distinction must have come from the tender natural beauties that surround them. It is surely the spring that offers the largest number of charming sights and sounds and makes people forgets the bleak winter days and prepare for the toilsome period of tilling, sowing and weeding. But this season is very elusive in the sense that it comes and goes almost imperceptibly. Its duration is so short that it disappears before we have just begun to realize its charm. It does not oppress our mind with any lingering monotony. This shortness of its duration is, perhaps, one of the reasons why people like it best.
