A girl sitting in a rickshaw with a basket of Kadam flowers near the TSC on the Dhaka University campus yesterday. She was about to take the flowers, which herald the beginning of the monsoon, to a nearby place for sale. Today is the fifth day of Bangla month of Ashar -- the first of the two months that make the season. Photo: Anisur Rahman
