Biplab Sheikh, a resident of Karimpur in West Bengal’s Nadia district, has been attracting significant local attention. A mason by profession who completed his studies up to Class 12, Biplab has mastered nearly 11 different writing styles using both hands. Living in the Chandpur area under the Karimpur police station, he was unable to continue his education beyond the 12th grade due to financial difficulties.
He subsequently took on various odd jobs and worked in different locations outside the state, serving as a mason and joint worker in several places. Despite his demanding day and night work as a mason, his passion for ambidextrous writing never waned. He has been practicing this skill since childhood, writing with a pen in both his right and left hands.
During a work trip out of state, Biplab learned Hindi, Odia, and other languages from local residents and colleagues. His unique writing abilities have gone viral on social media, making him a local star. Biplab is distinguished by his ability to write in 11 different styles and multiple languages. He uses his smartphone to access the internet, learning more about this art form and searching for other ambidextrous individuals worldwide.
Biplab aspires to register his name in the Guinness Book of World Records or the Limca Book of World Records through an online medium. However, due to a lack of education, awareness, and proper guidance, he is unsure how to proceed with the registration process. He has therefore requested assistance, stating, “if organisations that collect records support him, or if someone comes to him to offer him help, he will be very grateful.”
