Composition | The Rainy Season In Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a land of natural beauty. Her beauty varies from season to season. She has six seasons. Each season has its own features. We hear new sounds and enjoy new scenes in each season. Nowhere in the world are the six seasons so sharply felt as in Bangladesh. Everything changes and people also feel different in each season. They forget the monotony of life and start their daily work anew.
Of the six seasons of the Bengali year, I like the rainy season most. "Ashar" and "Sraban' are the months of the rainy season in Bangladesh. But sometimes this season lasts upto 'Ashwin'. Though the rainy season has some disadvantages, I like the rainy season most because it makes our land fertile and environment green.
The rainy season is caused by monsoon. The south-west monsoon that blows over Bangladesh from the Bay of Bengal brings the rains. The south-west monsoon blows along with maximum water-vapor. This vapor is cooled when it comes in contact with the cool air above. This cold vapor is then condensed into cloud and causes rains.
During the rainy season, the weather remains dull. The sky remains covered with thick clouds. Sometimes the sum is not seen. During this time it rains cats and dogs. Sometimes rains continue for days together. As a result, rivers, ponds, tanks, canals are full to the brim. Sometimes gusty winds blow accompanied with the flashes of lighting and the roars of thunder. Fields go under water.
I like this season for the following conditions: After the severe hot days of summer, the rainy season comes with its refreshing showers to cool the heated nature. Green leaves are seen here and there. The brown and cracked fields of summer get a magical change. The meadows are carpeted with soft green. The cattle graze happily all day long.
The rainy season is of great advantages. Current of rain water carries silt which makes our field fertile. Bangladesh is an agricultural country and most of the crops are dependent on the rain water. It helps to grow paddy, jute, sugarcane, tea and many other seasonal crops.
In this season tiny meadow flowers blossom in clusters everywhere. So the heart of a poet often leaps up with joy at the sight of the natural beauty of this season. He becomes inspired to portray the beauty of this season in his poetic works. It also helps the fairy minded people and novelists also. Rain washes away the filth and dirt from the earth's surface. It also purifies the atmosphere.
During the rainy season fishes are found in plenty in rivers, canals and ponds. Sometimes fishes are found in men's yard. Children are cheered up to catch fishes. The fishermen have plenty of fishes and earn their bread well. To them, the rainy season is a boon.
In this season fairy men are going to take journey by boat. Men can easily go from one place to another by boat and enjoy it most.
The rainy season is not free from disadvantages. It is a curse to the poor shelterless people. Due to excessive rainfall, the country roads become muddy and slippery. The urban roads often become impassable. Moreover, much rainfall causes flood in whole areas, which damages our crops. These floods cause terrible havoc. Men and cattle are washed away; the houses, roads, bridges and railway lines go under water. In fact, the floods cut off the whole area from the outside world for days together, and are often followed by famine and pestilence. It is the season of influenza and dysentery.
Bangladesh is an agro-based country. So here, the importance of the rainy season is undeniable. From this point of view, it is a blessing to Bangladesh. In fact, in the rainy season, people suffer a lot in many ways. But its economic value is very great. However, with all its demerits is still a blessing and I favor it most.
