The cornfields crack because of the daylong scorching rays of the heated sun. The water of most of the rivers, ponds, and tanks is dried up. So there is sometimes a scarcity of drinking water. It is a season of sweat, thirst, and fatigue. Diseases like cholera, dysentery generally break out during this season. At times, a storm called Kal-Baishakhi’ blows in a terrible form.
The season has its boons also. It is in this season that we have mangoes, litchis, blackberries, jack-fruits and many other delicious fruits.
