Winter is here

Winter, the second last season & obviously the coldest season sets in again as per the rule of the nature and is greeting us with its little fog at night & dawn as it is the outset yet. We have been getting the indication of winter from the last few days. As a season of pithas it is second to none. Different kinds of handmade cakes are made by our women, especially in rural areas to get the full taste of the winter. Date juice adds more pleasure to that. Besides, lots of colourful guest birds also come to Bangladesh with the commencement of winter, as if winter invites the birds to stay for a while (two months). However, the winter of Bangladesh is much more comfortable undoubtedly than the winter of other countries as we do not have snow & ice. In spite of this, the poor people who cannot afford to buy winter clothes are the great sufferers. We should extend our helping hand to them. Thus, we can enjoy winter.
