I believe in my heart that people are never too old to learn. But I don't always believe what people say, I need proof. I heard a saying a few days ago,- "The year when the river swells more in the summer, that year there is relatively more rain and water in the river." I didn't believe it then, but after receiving proof of this statement today, I believe it.
The Padma River in Rajshahi has taken on a different look this year. The continuous rains of the monsoon have filled the river with excitement. The Padma, which was once a marshland a few days ago, has become full of water in the blink of an eye.The water has risen so much that it is very close to the danger level. Standing on the bank, it feels as if the river is rushing towards the city with some hidden power.
The position of the sky, the rushing clouds and the intensity of the waves combine to make the Padma next to it stronger, more important. I think of this chest-full water and the color of the blue sky, the more nature frightens us, the more it fills us with wonder.
Standing on the bank, I was thinking about this scene on the banks of the flower-filled Padma, which I had seen for the first time in my life in Rajshahi. The smell of wet mud and broken earth now wafted through the air on the banks of the Padma.
A few days ago, I walked for about half an hour on a sandy path and saw a small river, and now its water has almost reached the dam protecting the city. Yet there is a kind of beauty in this full form of the river. The sky full of clouds and the roar of the waves, all together, fill the Padma with a unique mystery.
