Life in Winter Nights

Winter arrives in Bangladesh predominantly with two conspicuous but completely different pictures. One section of people breathe a sigh of relief after long summer days and relish winter delicacies, while the other is in pain and sufferings. The underprivileged people hardly have enough warm clothes to protect themselves from the chilling cold. Things get even worse for the homeless, especially when the night falls. With no place to call home, they cover themselves with whatever they have and make footpaths and railway station platforms their bed. A little humanitarian help from the affluent could greatly reduce their sufferings. Photo: Anisur Rahman
