Bauphal upazila of Patuakhali, which is rich in various history and traditions, is feeling the first taste of winter. Even though the weather is hot during the day in the fog of the crowing morning, nature seems to be announcing the arrival of winter from evening onwards. The dew is falling all night. Dewdrops glistening on the grass in the open field. In the morning, the crop fields, vegetable fields are filled with dew.
The change of season has started again in the green nature of Abhamman Bengal. Nature and life are changing again. The month of Kartik is now running in the Bangabda calendar of six seasons. Kartik-Agrahayana these two months are Hemantkal in Bengal. And Hemant is said to be the season of incomparable and aparup form. With which the happiness and sorrow and laughter and tears of the people of Bengal are connected. Farmers of Bengal dream in this season. Morning dew wet grass and light fog ring in nature the message of winter. The ripe golden paddy in the field, the scene of the farmer bringing home the paddy, the joy of the farmer-farmer’s Navanna are all the accompaniments of the form of Hemanta. It’s like the cold hand of winter.
In this season, the fishing festival begins in the rural areas of the upazila. Monsoon and autumn rains tend to dry up. Bengalis go out with nets, spears, poles and spears to catch fish. The headman of the village returned home with a doula bag full of fish. The eye is drawn to the purple-white flowers of the saffron hanging in the dry pool.
Meanwhile, due to heat during the day and cold during the night, cold-related diseases are increasing in various health centers including upazila hospitals. Especially children and the elderly are more affected by cold, cough, pneumonia and diarrhea. Recently also at Bauphal Hospital.
