Dear All,

I'm happy to inform you that my husband Professor Vanchinathan translated
the biography of the Mathematician Ramanujan in to tamil from Robert
Kanigel's book "The Man Who Knew Infinity". I'm also happy to have
contributed to it  by typesetting the book using FOSS XeLaTeX and using
free tamil fonts. Pagination, indexing everything related to book has been
done using this software in the Linux Mint environment along with ibus
supporting tamil input in Gedit. Also used sed editor for special purposes.
