Soon it's monsoon again. The Bangla month of Ashar will begin on the 15th June. The average rainfall in the last weeks is more than sufficient so far. And water flow in the Padma(Ganges) and her tributaries have increased remarkably already, may be an indication of flood this year.

And the bridge at Banglabazar is complete. Here on the right we are showing an archived photo taken in the last year,2000.If you just take a rickshaw trip from here to the Padma ghat, which will take merely 15 minutes through the well built road through the vast lush green landscape.

Litchu(Litchi chinensis) of good quality is now growing in abundance in Pabna region. By adopting new techniques and care, the famous Bombay Litchis are no longer out of reach in question of price.

However, one agri-product,cereal, is becoming quite popular and probably a part of our food-habit. And that is maize(vhutta or mokai in Bangla).Originally from Latin Amerika,now you will see maize fields very common in this region and in the other part of this country too).
