Bengali signs, a set on Flickr.
I read Bengali really, really slowly (which doesn’t bode well for the Feluda book I bought in Kolkata over Christmas).
Nevertheless, for me there’s a real thrill in being able to decipher the script as it appears on the sides of buses, on shop signs* or those prohibiting something or other.
* Even if many of these are straight transliterations from the way they’re written in English.
