My name

My name Anirban is a Bengali name ("অনির্বাণ", if you have Bengali fonts to see that), which means a light that shines forever. In Bengali, it sounds a bit like: aw-nee-r-baan. However, as Bengali is not a language with strict intonations, many variations of the pronunciation by non-Bengali speakers still make sense (somewhat!). In Japanese (Katakana), it is written as バス オニバン (note that the family name is written first) and pronounced (in Romanization) ba-su o-ni-ba-n.

If you would like to see how my name is written but do not have the Bengali or Japanese fonts to read the names in the paragraph above, expand the details below to see them as images.
