A haunted property, 

Desserts - rabdi and jaleebi,

A mango tree,

A shopping mall and a fire tragedy,

All help sixteen-year-old, Dhrubo, 

Know more

About his family and its spooky history !

At the same time his six-year old sister, Shreya,

Questions her dear Grandpa,

On what he knows and what he has seen,

About this thing called ‘covid nineteen’.

Meanwhile Dhrubo and Shreya’s ex-nanny,

Junior inspector, Abhi,

And the theft of a Mughal painting.

And finally, rather unknowingly,

There are ghosts - neither white nor pale,
