Hi, I am Abhijit Das (Barda) - a graduate student at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. Welcome to my electronic home. Hope you will enjoy it.
My current research interests include symbolic and algebraic computations, mathematical problem solving, design and analysis of algorithms etc. In short, I am a theoretical computer scientist. Some of my nonacademic interests are playing crossword board games (Scrabble, for example), learning languages (both natural and computer languages), playing musical instruments (Hawaiian guitar, keyboard, mouth organ), painting and sketching.
I do a lot of hacking too. This page provides links to a lot of utilities that I developed in the recent years. None of them are really serious. They are just for fun. I think you will find them interesting (may be useful too).

Bengali Writer utilities
| My mother tongue is Bengali, an Indian language. I have written Bengali fonts in various formats -- namely METAFONT, PostScript, X11 BDF etc. Some transliterators that convert romanized Bengali text to actual Bengali text specific to these fonts are also available. The newest in the set of Bengali Writer utilities is a Tcl/Tk-based text editor for Bengali. |
