UNB, Dhaka :
Amid the chilly atmosphere of winter, a gracious perk of the season is the galore of pithas sold and enjoyed by many in city streets. It is somewhat of homage to the glorious taste of our rural treats.
Since the beginning of the winter, makeshift pitha shops have sprung all over the Dhaka city where Bhapa and Chitoi pithas are sold aplenty, while other wintry delights such as Patishapta, and Pakon pitha can be found, too.
Street-side pitha sellers who constantly keep making different types of pitha (cakes) are seen in city’s key areas including Shahbagh, TSC, Paltan, Kakrail, Malibagh, Gulistan and even in the alleyways of other localities.
These treats mostly start selling from the afternoon while the majority takers are seen blooming after the dusk.
Nahid, a student of a public university, said every winter he rejoices the taste of pithas from such shops with friends at night. “It reminds me of my native home and childhood memories often,” he added.
