The time from sunrise to noon is understood as the morning. A morning in the winter season is called a winter morning. The winter season is known as the season of cold and mist. Therefore, a winter morning has to be misty and cold. We can see dense fog everywhere on a winter morning. Sometimes the fog is so dense that sun rays cannot get through it. Therefore, things at a little distance cannot be seen. The winter morning is so cold that people tend to stay at home. Even the cow, goat, and other animals do not come out. Birds stop chirping. The leaves of the trees do not move. Everything comes to a standstill. However, when dewdrops fall on leaves and blades of grass, they look like glittering pearls. Due to such cold weather, people tend to lie on their beds. They bury themselves under warm clothes and enjoy the morning. They come out of their home late because the Sun rises late in the winter morning. Then they enjoy the sunbath and different kinds of foods and drinks such as juicy and dry "chitay Pitha", "vapa pitha", cakes, date juice, etc. However, winter morning is not enjoyable for everyone. The people who are incapable of buying warm clothes are the worst sufferers. They collect burnable materials and make fires to sit around the fire to warm themselves. Therefore, though a winter morning is enjoyable to people in general, it is painful to some people. If the government and the rich people come forward, a winter morning can be enjoyable for everyone.
