  1. Girl power puts Gujarati lexicon at your fingertips

If the online Gujarati lexicon has proved a boon for
translators or writers, this bunch of five 20-something girls ought to take
the credit. Their love for their mother tongue is phenomenal and so is their
passion for language. Hence, with the help of technology they have made words
available at your fingertips.

Sumaiya Vohra, Padma Javad, Maitri Shah, Shruti Amin and
Deval Vyas run an IT firm which handles jobs of researching and compiling
Gujarati words. After digitizing ‘Bhagwadgomandal’ — a major dictionary of
Gujarati language — their recent achievement was to put ‘lokkosh’, a Gujarati
lexicon, online.
