You may have read or heard of Bible being translated almost in all languages of the world. But Uttam Das, a 29-year-old, Arts graduate from Silapathar in Dhemaji district of Assam has written Bible in mirror image language.Not exactly practical. But certainly interesting. This is obviously someone with a love for scripture.
Mirror writing involves writing in reverse. The text can be read in the inverted image in a mirror and other reflective surface.
With this people will now be able to read the Bible with mirror image language holding a mirror in their hands. He has made it as a gift for Pope Benedict XVI - a seven volume Bible (Old Testament) - it is special because of being written in mirror image language.
