Sharat is a Bengali season when nature wears a cleaner and fresh look with rain washing away filth from nature. The trees and leaves look as if they have taken a shower a minute aback. White light clouds float in the sky which prompted Rabindranath Tagore to write “Sharate khin megh bhashibey akashey…”.

White clouds in an azure sky creates an ethereal ambience so typical of Bengal. People enjoy the reflection of the sky and the floating clouds on the wide rivers as they wait to catch fish with nets.

The city below the sky looks cleaner after a spell of rainfall. The building and the overbridge radiate the glow of the sun now hiding behind the clouds. The roads appear vacant because most of the city dwellers are yet to return from the villages. No doubt, once the city gets filled up, Dhaka will once again turn unclean and noisy.
