A Winter Morning:
Nature and her different phenomena are matters of wonder and mystery to us. The seasonal changes and the varieties never miss to draw our attention. In course of this the winter comes and a morning falling in this season is called a winter morning. Fog, mist, dew etc. are most common features of a winter morning. The sun shines very dimly. People like to remain comfortably wrapped up by the quilt till study or jobs do not force them to leave their bed. There is biting cold all around. The office goers and the school going children go out shivering in the chill. However, a winter morning presents a sad contrast between the rich and the poor. Walking or riding in the motor car with clothes to prevent the cold air the rich loiter here and there comfortably, whereas the poor warm themselves sitting round a fire until the sun rises a little higher. It is a very common scene to see people of all ages basking in the sun. The birds and beasts feel happy to see the rays of the sun. Farmers go to the field with ‗hooka‘ in their hands. Mothers prepare various kinds of cakes and serve them to the members of the family. Date juice is another attraction in the rural areas. Most of the people in our country are fond of drinking raw date juice. Besides, various types of native including cakes are prepared from date juice. Moreover, dewdrops on grass and leaves and numberless colourful flowers cannot but delight our mind on a winter morning. After a while the sunny day starts and people begin their day‘s work in full swing.

If anybody enthusiastically wants to enjoy a moonlit night, he will see that it is just a thing of beauty and joy that he has never enjoyed. In the daylight some scenes are beautiful and others may not be so, but the same scene in the soft light of the moon looks beautiful as a poet‘s dream of fairyland. As forests, houses, rivers and buildings all such manmade or natural objects are beautiful by day, all these things are more beautiful at night. They look something extraordinary and something more in a moonlight night than our rigid reality. The scenic beauty of a river or an ocean in a moonlit night can better be enjoyed than described. It has a magical power of transporting us to a land of beauty and imagination and to arouse in us a centre feeling to sing in tune with the poet. With the fragrance of different flowers, the moonlight can overwhelm the poets‘ mind even the mind of the general. When the moon winks in the sky and gradually spreads her soft and alluring light, we cannot but lose ourselves in the tide of mind‘s stimulation. Poets write their poems with the enthusiasm of atmospheric setting and lovers and couples gossip forgetting their time-pass. Patients and fragile people can get new life in the new atmosphere of the moonlit night. So, a moonlit night is indeed a great achievement for us all deliberating her influence on human mind.
