In Dhaka we are experiencing the first of the clear days of autumn. For a short time, after the end of the monsoon and before the land around the city dries up enough for the brick factories to start pumping out vast quantities of bricks and black smoke, we have these clear days. Remember to enjoy them!

Autumn in Dhaka
.
Clear days are here, days are warm with cool ends,
Dragon has settled, his slumbers extend
Sun rises late for our date at first light
Mullah calls early to bring home the night
Green booms in the markets, blooms fresh in the parks
Clear days are here and early comes dark
