		<description>Hi Avijit,
Interesting question, was thinking about that myself.The slight problem with devanagari based (scripts like bengali and hindi) have very definite letter forms and there is no uppercase/ lowercase.Having said that (and briefly glancing through the bengali script) its definitely not impossible, in fact I remember see a tamil(though its not devanagari based) ambigram so keep trying and I&quot;ll give it a go in hindi if i can :)</description>

		<description>Hi Avijit,

I can&#039;t tell you whether it&#039;s possible or not because I&#039;ve never experimented with ambigrams in that language. I can only tell you this: try it and see if it works! There are ambigrams out there in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and many other languages. No reason why, with some research, sketches and exploration, an ambigram in Bengali shouldn&#039;t work.

Good luck! Would love to see what you come up with.

		<description>In reply to Exaiver: I like to draw greeting card phrases as ambigrams. Here are just a few of the phrases I have drawn. The entire phrase reads the same right-side-up or up-side-down. 

&quot;Thank you for being my friend!&quot;  &quot;Happy Anniversary&quot;  &quot;Many Thanks&quot;
&quot;Missing You&quot;  &quot;Hang In There&quot;  &quot;It&#039;s A Boy&quot;  &quot;It&#039;s A Girl&quot;  &quot;A Bridal Shower&quot;

The un-even word divisions sometimes pose a slight problem, but I try to find ways around that. I also find that a one-to-one ratio isn&#039;t always the best way to go, especially when your words aren&#039;t the same length and you have wide letters like M or W occurring at the inversion of narrow letters like i and L. Two-to-one or three-to-two ratios often work better for those inversions. There are even phrases whose letters &quot;play nice&quot; better as an infinite chain (the inversion overlaps somewhere in the middle of the phrase). I like to draw these repeating in a circular chain.</description>

		<description>i just got into ambigrams a few days ago. yes i read about them in the book angels and demons( anyone know how much of that book is fact???) well i realized my friend showed me some symbiotograms of love/hate life/death. i am wondering what the limits are for how different in size two words can be. and if any one has a phrase or sentance... anything with more than one word.</description>
