last kiss of monsoon

the Monsoon is over according to Bangla calendar. it’s ended a week ago. surprisingly we got a 3 days non-stop rain just before that. I’ve observed this monsoon very closely and carefully. had watched the clouds on daytime and night. were watching the rain drops sitting on my veranda. the clouds don’t rumble in monsoon. it moves fast, reform fast but don’t rumble. even I can’t remember to see any lighting! it’s just rain. rain and storm, monsoon storm. but we got comparatively less rainfall in this monsoon. I didn’t hear any major flood warning from anywhere of Bangladesh.

when it was raining last week, I realized that it’s not gonna happen in this year again. we get rain in almost every season except in short winter. but not this kind of rain. monsoon rain is different. and it was the last kiss of monsoon in this year.

a lonely kite

Woke up at 3:40am today. Didn’t know how, probably by the noise of thunders. It was raining with frequent thunders. Electricity was gone. I couldn’t sleep again, not for the thunders, cause of scattered thoughts were going on my mind. Then it came to dawning time. I left the bed and prayed. Then went to the veranda next to my bedroom. It was still raining and hazy dark outside. Looking at the sky and rain, my view got stuck on the top of minaret that is more than 70 feet high. A kite was sitting on its railing of it completely drenched with rain. I could see it clearly even in that hazy darkness because kite is big bird, prey. It wasn’t moving. Sometime a bit shaking cause of wind. I knew it won’t move from their till the rain stop. After watching it several minutes, I went to sleep again. Forgot to set up alarm, woke up late and missed the uni bus!

It was my birthday yesterday. There was no celebration. Celebrating birthday of an adult person isn’t usual here. Got a lot of birthday wishes in online, mostly in twitter, four phone calls from friends and a little heavy dinner with rice, chicken curry, beef curry at home.

The Summer

When I woke up today at 4:45am to pray, it was raining. No wind, no thunder, straight line rain drops. Then went to sleep and woke up again at 10 am. It was glittering sunshine. Completely clear sky. Right now it’s a hot noon. Summer is already started here. According to Bangla calendar summer started on 14th April. Unlike western countries, our seasons are separated into six parts. Who lives in village, close to nature can feel and recognize them separately.

Came back at home early from uni after having a worse exam. Was exhausted in both physically and mentally. Physically for the hot weather, mentally for the exam. Turned on the fan in full speed and then jumped on to bed, fell asleep. When I woke up it was almost dark. is it evening?! Oh no it’s the clouds! Fat black clouds all over the sky. Then it started raining with big drops. Chilled down the temperature and chilled down my mind.

Morning Rain

Raining heavily. Don’t know when did it start. Woke up about half an hour ago heard raining. Yes I heard and smelled. The door of veranda that is directly connected to my bedroom I can see the sky and some outside scenario through it even laying on my bed. Two big windows around my bed. They are covered with curtains. I can feel the sky is cloudy or not laying on my bed. All I’m listening the rain. Not possible for me to describe how much is it raining or how big the rain drops. Heavy shower.

moments

It was raining heavily since morning, like monsoon. Stopped now. Sometimes I listen music related with weather. Was listening “amon dine tare bola jay” of Rabindranath.

Yesterday at noon I was waiting to cross a road in Shibogonj-Upashahar point. It is also the part of Tamabil-Jaflong highway. It’s not so wide but busy traffic. But there are no traffic signal in that place. Suddenly a lean hand grabbed my right arm. I saw a bare foot, hunchbacked old lady, wearing an old and soiled sari. She asked me to help her to cross the road. I did it. Crossed the road very carefully. She was grabbing my arm tightly! I was mentally shrink when I was helping that old lady to cross the road. Later I felt ashamed to be shrink even in mentally.

morning thoughts

5:47 am
It’s raining now. Raining and thunderstorm. Still dark outside. I’m laying down on my bed under mosquito net and writing it in mobile. Those little bugs are still flying across. They’ll not hide or go away befor the day light is clear enough.

The birds are not singing outside cause of rain. It’s not raining hard. Drizzling exactly. It’s really slowing down.
No schedule for today. Have to go to uni at noon. Now feeling very soar about thinking to go to uni. Too bad. Not feeling to press the mobile keys anymore right now!
