Cyclone Bijli
It was a stroke of genius naming the latest cyclone Bijli. Whoever named it so, deserves a medal because approaching the shores of Bangladesh it fizzled out, bringing cooling breezes to the despairing citizens vigorously waving hand fans and much-needed rain for the parched fields. BIJLI was even a boon for boro because now REB's anaemic bijli would not be required for a few weeks.
I propose that from now on each and every cyclone formed in the Bay of Bengal be named similarly, such as: AMPERE, CURRENT, ELECTRIC, AMPERAGE, VOLTAGE, POWER, BIDDYUTH, ETC.
