Rainy season

The months of  'Ashar' and 'Sraban' constitute the Rainy season. In this seasons, the sky is full of clouds. So, sometimes it drizzles and sometimes it rains heavily all day long. Then it becomes difficult to go out for work. Boats become the main means of communication in many areas. Yet it is enjoyable too. Children play in the rain. We get time to play indoor games when it rains cats and dogs.

 

The sun becomes very hot. This excessive heat makes vapour which is carried away by the wind. It rises higher and higher in the sky and then becomes cloud. Afterwards it causes rain fall.

In this season, there are clouds and rains. The sky is covered with clouds. It rains cats and dogs day and night. We cannot see the sun. There are roaring of thunder and lightning in the sky. The rivers, canals, tanks and ponds are full to the brim. The farmers plough lands and harvest Aus paddy and jute.

It carries alluvium for our land and makes our land fertile. Paddy and Jute grow in plenty. In this season the air is cool and the water is pure. Its gives us drinking water and the earth is wet. The filth and dirt are washed away. The flowers look beautiful and crops grow well. The rivers and pools are full of fishes. The dusty roads and streets are clean.

The roads and streets are become muddy. We cannot move about without boat. The poor cannot work and so they suffer. The cattle also suffer. Storms and winds blow and people die of cholera. Sometimes heavy rainfall causes flood. The standing crops are damaged. Sometimes it takes away toll of lives and washes away cattle and houses.

Our cultivation largely depends on the rainy season. Had there been no rains this would have been a barren country. But Bangladesh is a land of plenty and wealth. The poets are also fond of it.
