A Winter Morning
A winter morning is a cold morning. Ours is a hot country. So, a winter morning is not as cold as that of a cold country. It is not as bright as a spring morning or a summer morning in our country. Its light is mellow on most days.
The rays of the morning sun come through a film of mist. Nature appears veiled in fog. The blurred outlines of natural objects lend a mysterious aspect to them. This is a refreshing change from the usual bright mornings of other seasons in Bangladesh. People wear warm clothes of various kinds — coats, trousers, pullovers, wrappers etc. Some people bask in the sun wherever it is available.
One special aspect of a winter morning is the way of warming oneself. People gather dry twigs, hay, waste paper and even old rubber-tires and light fire with them. They sit around it and engage in pleasant gossips. Sometimes accidents happen; somebody's dress-ends catch fire. So, people have to be very careful in such a situation. A winter morning brings distress to the poor people, though it is pleasant for the rich.
