Eternal Bangladesh
Trees, plants, flowers, fruits, rivers, clouds hold a distant connotation of their own. Rivers are the sources of joy and sorrow. They are a major theme of Bengali songs.
Rivers figure very prominently in the lives of people in this country. A young woman with a Kalshi on her waist goes to river ghat not only to fetch water but also to have a glimpse of her hero awaiting near the ghat. This is still a common sight in rural Bangladesh.
