Image of a Winter Morning in Dhaka

Dhaka, the city where I currently live, is enveloped in a misty embrace each winter morning. This year’s winter is no different from last year’s. The fog transforms Dhaka into a magical wonderland every morning, cloaking the city in the enchanting haze of winter once again. We will continue to enjoy the season of jackets and layered clothing until the arrival of spring—the undisputed king of new beginnings in my homeland—in the next fortnight. Below is a photo taken by Shahrear Kabir Heemel on a winter morning, showcasing a tree-lined street in Dhaka and allowing everyone to appreciate the vibrant colors and hues of winter.

I hope the site will continue to feature my blog as usual.

The season I like the most after spring is winter!

The blog is here and I just read it. That picture looks like it was taken on a very cold morning, was it?

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Yes, Alfie, I believe the picture was taken by the photographer on a foggy, cold morning earlier this year. It was published last month in the Daily Star, which is an English-language newspaper. I wish you all the best. Take care.

Although winter is NOT my favourite season I can only imagine from your description above that it must have some redeeming qualities. I can’t wait for spring to arrive. Counting the days until the warmth returns.

Warmth seems to have returned to Dhaka, where I currently live. I didn't need to use a warm blanket last night. This suggests that climatic conditions are becoming increasingly unpredictable everywhere. You are right, Indigo; winter has some redeeming qualities in this part of the world. We are waiting to welcome the first day of Spring on February 15th. Take care and stay safe.

Hmmmm. My friend, on this we disagree! Winter has never been my favorite season, although I tolerated it more when I was younger. Right now, we are having the "January thaw". It's an unseasonal warm time that seems to occur every winter. I think it is to tease us before the cold blasts return.
As for the fog, I find it soothing and romantic. One time, my first husband and I were staying on the other side of a city from the river. I talked him into going down to the riverside seating area in the fog. I found it extremely romantic and could have sat there for hours. After a few minutes, he complained of the cool dampness, so we left. The next time we visited that city, we stayed at a riverside hotel so I could sit outside on the balcony and he could relax inside.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

In my small but densely populated and beautiful country, winter is characterized by fog, mist, and chilly temperatures. Rainfall is almost non-existent during this season. Although these two months can feel arid, we appreciate winter for many reasons. The biting cold wind is manageable for us. The average temperature in Bangladesh typically ranges from 10°C to 20°C during these winter months. In some cases, the temperature may drop to as low as 3°C in the northern Bangladesh. However, the residents there have never experienced snow disrupting their lifestyles during this season.
Winter is the time for Festivals here. The farmers bring home harvested crops during this period from the farmlands. Festivals, such as Nabanna Utsab, Poush Mela, Pitha Utshab, and Sakrain, celebrate this season with food, music, dance, and cultural activities.
Mrs. Joe, I must tell you that winter is also the wedding season in Bangladesh. Stay cheerful, dear friend. Take care.
