My name is Sayan Chakraborti. I am from Kolkata (previously called Calcutta) in India. I became an editor at Open Site just about the time I joined Mensa International (Membership Number 53048). I am also an editor at the ODP. I am an undergraduate student of Physics at the St. Xavier's College under the Calcutta University. I used to be a student at the South Point High School in my hometown. At the moment I am in the first year of college (called the freshman year in some other countries). I am interested in everything from Arts to Science and from Football to Chess. By the way my favorite subject is Physics while I also enjoy Computer Science and Mathematics. I happen to be a Linux user. I currently use Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r0. I am the project admin of Calculating Pi. I also happen to run a site on social and cultural issues called Peaceful Action and a Humanist site at SINARG. I am currently in the process of shifting my homepage from http://projectpi.sourceforge.net/sayan/ to http://www.peacefulaction.org/sayan/. An account of my involvement in opensource or free software projects may be found at http://sourceforge.net/users/sayanchak/. Below is the picture of me with my buddies who run Peaceful Action. I am the second guy from the left. (The idiot with the blue tie.) The picture has been taken by another classmate on the terrace of our school building. The guys in the photograph from left to right are Shamashis, Sayan, Sayamindu and Arko Provo.

I have a new Personal Blog, as well as a new website for collaborative blogging. The purpose of Scoopal.com is to provide a free place for you to blog and read your friends' blogs within an unified interface.
