A dry weather, cool crispy air and the fragrance of flowers will herald the advent of spring on Pahela Falgun today.\u00a0Revellers can look forward to a pleasant day without rains as nature rolls over into the season of romance, finally bidding farewell to the reluctant winter this year.
\nThe young at heart can certainly look forward to a happy Valentine\u2019s Day tomorrow without worrying about drizzles, senior meteorologist Mahmudul Huq told The
\nIndependent yesterday. Huq, however, warned that there was the possibility of rains in a day or two, mostly in the northern part of the country. Notwithstanding the
\nweather on Thursday, nothing would deter people, especially young women, to dress up to greet the first day of spring.
\nAs usual, girls and women would be decked up in red-bordered yellow saris or salwar kamiz, and the men in yellow punjabis or shirts on the occasion of Poila Falgun.
\nMeanwhile, florists have set up shops on the Shahbagh pavement and in front of Dhaka University\u2019s Curzon hall opposite the old High Court building, in expectation of
\nhuge sales on Thursday and Friday.
\nFlower growers at Gadkhali in Jessore have started shipping red roses and tube roses to Dhaka, Chittagong and Khulna. They expect business worth Tk 5 crore on Poila
\nFalgun and Valentine\u2019s Day.
\nThe National Basant Udjapan Committee has organised a function to celebrate Poila Falgun alongside Rabindra Sarobor at Dhanmondi lake in the morning. It will comprise
\nmusic, dances and poetry recitals.<\/p>\n
