Winter is the coldest season of the year. A morning in winter is mist misty and cold. There is dense fog everywhere. Things even at a little distance can hardly be seen. Everything looks hazy. This causes disruption to the communication system. Dew drops fall at night. Sometimes cold waves blow. It causes much sufferings to the children and old people. They bask in the sun. Domestic animals hide themselves in the corner of the house and try to save themselves from the biting cold outside. Village people gather straw and dry leaves to make fire to warm themselves. Usually people get up late. In a winter morning people in Bangladesh enjoy different kinds of 'pithas'. One can also enjoy delicious sweetmeats prepared with date juice. But a winter morning is a curse for the poor. They suffer much for want of warm clothes. The scene of a winter morning disappears as the day advances. A winter morning is pleasant for someone and unpleasant for the other.
