Pirganj (Thakurgaon) Correspondent:
The morning scene in Pirganj, Thakurgaon is like a beautiful poem. The sunlight fades from behind the thick fog, and dew and fog spread like a white blanket across the field. This scene touches not only the eyes but also the heart. According to the locals, it is like an early sign of the arrival of winter.
Such fog is not usually seen in Pirganj in mid-October. But this year, visibility has decreased so much in the morning that even people a few feet away cannot be clearly seen. In the morning, school-going children, farmers and laborers are leaving for their respective destinations in the cold wind. Teenagers playing football on the field are lost in the fog, and the scene floating in the dim light is like a dream.
According to the forecast of the Meteorological Office, winter is coming a little earlier in the northern region this time. As the cold wind from the Himalayas is gradually entering the northern border of Bangladesh, its effects are already being felt in Pirganj. Local farmers say that although this cold wind affects the maturity of rice, it is a good sign for potatoes, wheat and winter vegetables.
There is also a lot of chatter in the city’s tea shops. Some say, “Just looking at this fog, you can tell that this winter will be intense.” Others are preparing to take out warm clothes.
This foggy morning is like a silent call from nature, winter is coming, life should slow down a little, and people should return to search for warmth. This hazy morning in Pirganj is not just a sign of the change of seasons, but rather a reflection of a gentle beauty.
