SM Suman Rashid:
Bangladesh is a country of six seasons. Some winter images come to mind to welcome the nature of seasonal diversity across the country. And in the poet’s rhythm, it is time to change clothes. In new colors and lines, nature paints the soil, the sky, and people’s minds. And that is why the poet Rabindranath Tagore’s voice resonates.
How strange you are in the world, you are a strange beauty Man and nature become helpless in Konkan winter. However, in a variety of vegetables, fruits and flowers, the gloomy nature is filled. The scent of palm juice floats in the air. Kheer, pies and pitha – rural Bengalis go crazy for the festival of Puli.
