Bengali Nonsense Rhymes/Poems on Ghosts !

Bengali Nonsense Rhymes/Poems on Ghosts !

Even a ghost can meet death ! Sounds interesting?

Well, in every country, in every language, ghosts have occupied a premium space in literature and in visual  or performing media. Even the legendary poet, Sukumar Ray, in his poem "Bhooture Khela" has described the activities of 'Panto Bhooter Jyanto Chhana' and its mother in his inimitable & unique style, where humor, and only humor is the keyword.. 

Myths about ghosts, their unpredictable activities, the elements of fear or fun attached with them or even friendly behavior of some - all these have driven me to write funny poems about the ghosts, some of which are nonsense in nature and some indeed not-so-nonsense. I also made certain illustrations myself in order to give them a visual look and to tell the stories in my typical way.

Today's posting contain some of my nonsense rhymes/poems in Bengali on Ghosts, And a photograph (where ghosts do not appear) taken by me with my mobile phone - as a bonus ! Happy viewing...
