In other celebrate the pahela Baishakh in a beffiting manner we decorated the school premises tastefully. So the school wore a festive look. There were some groups of volunteers who extended their helpful hands in various activities for celebrating the mela arranged on the occasion. One group fenced the entire area. Another group set up shops and stalls for the traders. There were shops of nick nacks, sweets, toys and homemade things. Another group of volunteers rendered service in maintaining discipline. The mela became the place of get- together for the people of the nearby villages. The fair was a special attraction for the children. They bought toys, sweets and different types of things. Since I was one of the organisers of the mela, I was preoccupied to make the mela a success. In fact the mela gave me immense pleasure because all my efforts became succesfull.

Pohela Falgun And Boishakh

Pohela Falgun

The name Falgun came from the star Falguni. The reason behind the naming after starts is that in the Vedic Age (1500 BC) the rishis (ancient Indian scholars) had an obsession with astrology and the stars. Though they use to follow the solar year the mention of Falguni (spring) full moon in Vedic Literature suggests that lunar months were also calculated. Probably the traditional inclination of the rishis to the moon and stars led to the naming of the months after stars.

The significance of Pohela Falgun is very singular in our national life. The way we celebrate Pohela Boishakh and Pohela Falgun in Bangladesh these days started to flourish after the arousal of Bengali Nationalism in 1950s and 1960s.

“Pohela Falgun” symbolizes the festival of color, coherence of heart and a refreshing start of life. Nature, that seemed decayed recently, suddenly appears with full of infancy. Nature becomes colorful as flowers like Shimul, Polash, Mango, Rose, Marigolds blossom. Melody of birds or mild touch of the sunshine – everything will make you feel that springtime is the nature’s festival. The day will inspire you to fall in love, to be romantic.
