What a wonderful world!

Weather and Childhood Memories

I did not forget yesterday's prompt, just couldn't save the entry.

Here in Bangladesh, we are used to all sorts of extreme weather conditions. During summer, the temperature can go up to 45 degress celcius in some parts of the country.

But, now we are being swept with cold waves. Day before yesterday, the temperature was 3 degress celcius. Many people, including women and children, passed away, owing to winter related diseases. Many institutions are giving away winter wear to those in need. Every time my parents go to our native village, they carry a good amount of woollens for the ones in need.

Yes, the summer warmth can be exasperating at times, still it doesn't cause deaths like winter. So I think extreme cold is worse than extreme hot.

The lesson I'm talking about, is not really a childhood lesson, rather it's something learnt during my teens. I had learnt after a school lesson, that no matter what happens, even if the world turns upside down, I must be honest, and I must trust myself. I still stick to that lesson and continue to do so.
