Winter is different where I live now in the northern hemisphere, which is much colder than my usual place, a tropical region in Bangladesh, where winter is very short, with higher temperatures year-round and year-round humidity. As I am from a local village, I found a different view of winter there that I have been missing for several years. Winter mornings and afternoons are often shrouded in a blanket of fog in the villages of Bangladesh. My hometown, Kushtia, is among the colder districts, and the weather there is quite dry. In this post, I want to share one of my favorite winter beauties of the village that everyone loves in Bangladesh. And that is the beauty of Mustard flowers in the agricultural lands of villages, which is like a sea of yellow flowers.
When you walk on the village roads through the agricultural lands, the sweet scent of mustard flowers floats in the air! You will only see mustard flowers in your eyes. The mustard flowers blooming across the vast fields captivated their viewers. It seems as if someone has spread a yellow carpet across the open fields. This scene is a unique portrayal of Bangladesh's winter landscape. Every winter, it is as if a yellow carpet is spread across the fields of rural Bengal. There is a proverb - ‘I see mustard flowers in my eyes’—the meaning of the Bengali proverb in this case is not to be shocked or disoriented by the danger; rather, it is a feeling of being overwhelmed by the immense beauty of nature and being enchanted. In particular, it is said that the yellow color of the mustard fields dazzles the eyes. Seeing the sweetness of mustard flowers across the vast field, it seems like a kingdom of yellow flowers! When people are overwhelmed by too much joy or surprise at the sight of such an eye-catching form and cannot think of anything else for a moment, a yellow glow or flashes of light may appear before their eyes.
When I walk in such fields in my village, my eyes are fascinated by the beauty of mustard flowers, and my mind is satisfied! The sweet fragrance of flowers fills the mind. When the sun shines on mustard flowers on a foggy morning, the mind somehow becomes calm. The fragrance of mustard flowers blends with the scent of rural soil and various childhood memories. When I was a student in class 7, I used to go for tuition to my home tutor very early in the morning, around 6 am, when the fresh air carries the fragrance from the open fields to the roads and almost everywhere. Also, the afternoon is a great time to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. These fields of mustard flowers hold not only the yellow color but also countless memories of my childhood spent in the village.
Recently, some spots in Bangladesh went viral because content creators on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook reels visited those beautiful places to make videos.
