"We have always referred to 'murdhanno shaw' (ষ) as 'pet kata shaw' since childhood. But why do we call it so? None of the Bangla books explain its etymology. This ominous term used for that specific Bangla alphabet has become a part of our daily language," said Nuhash.
"Classic Bangla horror stories are also a part of our folklore. It's not written down anywhere, yet we all grew up hearing the same types of narratives. Some common superstitions have always been around; 'Jinns visiting sweet stores', or ' girls not roaming around with their hair down after the sunset'. I want to anthologise all those terrifying folktales with a modern twist in Pett Kata Shaw."
