The Bong Sense celebrates the mundane life of the Bengalis in the most quirky way. Bengali or not, you'd totally enjoy these amusing illustrations. Take a look.

It’s the last day of Pujo and Bengalis, with the rest of us, have already started experiencing withdrawal and ‘mon-kharap’ symptoms. So to cheer up all our Bong friends, here’s a Facebook page which perfectly captures the ‘bong-ness’ of Bengalis. We’re sure that not just Bengalis, even you will find these illustrations relatable if you have a close Bong friend. The Bong Sense celebrates the mundane life of the Bengalis in the most quirky way and whoever has closely observed a Bong or lived in West Bengal for some time would totally identify with these hilarious illustrations.

The page has more than 248 K followers and the number is clearly going to increase even more because their drawings are not just spot on, they are a laugh riot! From Pujo special to depicting usual day-to-day activities, we want you to share this happiness and wish you’d also enjoy these amusing illustrations.
