As winter's damp slowly departs, nature has opened a new chapter. Beneath the dry leaves falling from the branches lies the first hint of spring. Shedding the old, tender green leaves are bursting from the twigs, and the sweet scent of mango blossom spreads on the air. Even amid the noise of the city, nature quietly announces that a new spring story has begun among the falling leaves.
As winter's long damp fades, nature seems to take a deep breath. The weight of fog and cold wind has lifted, and the soft warmth of spring is spreading all around. At this turn of the season nature is dressing itself anew, shedding the old and taking on the colours of new life.
New leaves from old
One by one, dry leaves fall from the branches. In the piles of leaves on the ground, new life is being prepared. Young leaves are breaking out of the branches and twigs, a soft hope wrapped in green, as if nature itself is saying that an end does not mean stopping but is another name for a new beginning.
The sweet scent of mango blossom mingles with the breeze. Even in the bustle of the city that fragrance announces that spring has come; you may not see it, but you can smell the season's message. Spring flowers are blooming on the trees, yellow in one place, pale purple in another and still white elsewhere. This quiet riot of colour lightens the mind without our noticing.
Spring at Hatirjheel
The touch of spring has reached the capital's Hatirjheel too. The trees standing amid concrete and traffic jams have not ignored the season's call. The glint of new leaves on rows of trees beside the water and the scent of flowers drifting on the air make Hatirjheel feel like a piece of village spring in the heart of the city.
Spring does not only change nature's colours; it also brings a quiet joy to people's minds, teaching them to shake off fatigue, gloom and inertia and think afresh. Just as trees come back to life at the end of winter, people find their own inner freshness. The scene at Hatirjheel is a reminder that nature speaks even in the city, if we have time to stop and listen.
