Winter is the most favourite season . It is the fifth season. It comes after late autumn. Its span is for two months – from middle of December to middle of February. It is cold, but not so cold as it is cold in other states like North Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh etc.
The misty mornings of winter make us lazying in bed. The sun rises through the foggy weather. Nature looks very dull and lifeless. The villages are colder than urban areas. The rich people wear warm clothes to keep off the cold. It is the poor who are the worst sufferers. They cannot buy warm clothes. They light fire and sit round it to warm themselves. The farmers are, however, happy. Paddy is harvested in this season.
Winter is the season of abundance. Markets overflow with green vegetables, fishes and fruits. The lovely white cauliflowers, green cabbages, golden oranges make our mouth water. Winter has her floral charms too. The Chrysanthemums, the Dahlias and the Marigolds are the flowers of the season. As nature smiles with flowers and vegetables, the young folk move out of doors towards picnic spots. Winter is full of festivals. The Nabanna, the Pousparvan, the Saraswati Puja, the Christmas – all fall in this season. It is the season of Cricket – the game of the kings! The Zoo, the Botanies, the Museums are overcrowded at this time.
