mislam@uiuc.edu BioI am currently working as a Research Programmer at the University of Illinois Library Systems Office. I am a community radio and GNU/Linux advocate. I volunteer at WEFT in my spare time. WEFT is a member supported and volunteered operated community radio station. I have plans to work with community radio and free software implementation in South Asia.
Khepa means crazy in Bangla. Crazy not as in loco, but more in a spiritual sense. Baul means madcap, from bayu (Sanskrit Vayu). Bauls are a religious sect from West Bengal and Bangladesh. Baul music is one of the few widely known and appreciated types of folk music in Bengal.
