Shadman Sakib, the runner-up of the reality TV show 'The Privileged' on NetFlex, recently had an eye-opening experience that made him realize there is a world beyond the comfort of air-conditioned rooms and his father's provided car. In the past, whenever someone in a crowded bus or rickshaw complained about the heat during a traffic jam, Shadman would simply suggest turning on the air conditioning. Despite the hardships faced in the city, he would always celebrate the supposed magic of Dhaka, almost as if suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Spending his days in air-conditioned cars and hanging out in upscale cafes of affluent Gulshan, he would refer to this chaotic mess as the enchanting city, conveniently ignoring the existence of South Dhaka. Therefore, it was natural for him to find an attraction to anything that treated him harshly, including his university, his father, or even the summer season in Dhaka.
"After my air conditioner stopped working, I finally had an epiphany that not everyone can afford to romanticize the scorching nightmare of 40-degree Celsius summer in Dhaka," Shadman continued. "Claiming to love summer in Dhaka is like proclaiming oneself as a huge fan of the band Artcell. It might sound intriguing at first, but after enduring it for about 16 minutes, you realize the need to splash water on your face and get your life together."
Meanwhile, it is reported that commoners are launching a manhunt to expose those sympathizing with summer and subject them to the intense UV radiation without any protection. However, environmentalists remain hopeful about the planet's salvation. "The intensity of dehydration is so severe that even the mighty Aquaman has been reduced to 'man.' This isn't merely summer; it's the peak of global warming. The weather in Bangladesh resembles my morning cup of tea, either scalding hot or bitterly cold, with no moderation. How can someone consider global warming their favorite season?" questioned environmentalist Greta Sunburnt.
"But it's not too late to mend our climate. We can begin by planting more trees," Ms. Sunburnt suggested. "Unfortunately, when we requested the authorities to raise awareness about tree plantation, they responded by cutting down some trees and putting up a billboard with a large promotional banner about tree plantation."
In the midst of these discussions, the renowned restaurant chain "Six Seasons Restaurant" is reportedly contemplating a name change to "Two Seasons" since the concept of six seasons in Bangladesh has become a myth, all thanks to global warming.
