Nature's cruelty
From the book Pokamakarer Ghar Bashati of the eminent writer, Selina Hussen, we come to know how the inclement nature behaves with the poor people in the country's southern offshore areas. These people survive fighting with the cruel nature and sometimes they cannot win against it.
I don't know whether any other writer wrote about the Monga in northern areas of the country. Hunger after flood and later hard winter are the common companions of the people. It seems nobody is there to look after them.
We, the city dwellers, are noticing construction of many high rise buildings, and luxurious cars are plying the city roads. The opposite view of the mirror is very dark.
