Beautiful lotus flowers in the rice field.

The Shapla flower symbolizes natural beauty and has prominently featured in Bengali culture, literature, and art. It appears in numerous poems, songs, and films, which serve as carriers of our heritage. The village's landscape is stunning, and its residents are known for their kindness. Amidst daily activities, one can always find a moment of beauty. The Yamuna River is a source of pride, offering a unique kind of love, and the sight of well-cultivated crops adds to the area's charm.

Participating in beautiful evenings, like enjoying fruits, is delightful. Interestingly, the unattended flowers and plants also possess their charm, but we must handle them with care, ensuring that wood roses are placed lovingly in an animal-friendly space. In agriculture, one naturally hopes for a good yield, and these flowers are certainly among the many beautiful varieties.

Shapla blossoms predominantly during the monsoon and autumn in Bangladesh, adorning the country’s water bodies with their picturesque blooms. They often feature in children's artwork, textbooks, and various national celebrations and are believed to bring good fortune. After completing my work, I return home and perform the Asr prayer before engaging in discussions for the mosque gathering.

While navigating life, I appreciate the beauty of flowers and trees. One winter day, I received a message, and we visited a well-known Jhalmuri vendor, enjoying our time there. As we approached the flowers, a distinct fragrance enveloped us. Each day, we engage in various activities, often meandering along the river.

In the afternoons, I admire a beautiful flower blooming next to a more mature one, though they often grow in untidy spots. Typically, these flowers are round and flat, floating gracefully on the water, with long stalks extending beneath the surface. The lotus's color, structure, and fragrance possess a captivating natural beauty that enchants the senses.
