The scent of envelope.

Boro rice, a vital dry-season crop in Bangladesh, is planted from mid-November to February and harvested from April to June under irrigated conditions. It accounts for about 54% of the country's total rice production. From a bird’s-eye view, the harvest scene—where farmers gather Boro paddy—resembles envelopes being filled, capturing the raw, magical beauty of rural Bangladesh.
