Karate wedding!

Food for thought...

TO FALL INTO MUD IS NO DISGRACE; TO STAY THERE IS

SOME PEOPLE DO ODD THINGS TO GET EVEN

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS ALMOST ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

SPEECH IS SILVER, SILENCE IS GOLDEN

SUCCESS HAS MANY FATHERS; FAILURE IS AN ORPHAN

SWEAT HARD FOR SWEET REWARD

About Me

Joygopal Podder: I head fundraising in India for a leading international anti poverty development agency. Prior to this assignment, I worked for a leading child welfare organisation. Prior to this, I worked for an NGO looking after the elderly (type Joygopal Podder on Google search and you can view newspaper reports of various activites I have organised for the causes I work for). I moved to the "not-for-profit" sector after 15 years in industry. I am a freelance writer (my stories are used in text books of schools like Delhi Public School) and a Gold Medalist Law Graduate. I have a lovely family consisting of two talented and beautiful daughters and an interior designer-turned-marketing professional wife. I was born in London, worked for some time in the Middle East and now work in Delhi and live in the suburbs. I travel 15 days a month in India and abroad - and watch movies every weekend. I am maintaining the following blogs: http://compiledbyjoygopalpodder.blogspot.com http://mysteriesaroundus.blogspot.com http://noticeboardonanythingand everything.blogspot.com http://storiesbyjoygopalpodder.blogspot.com http://grandmothertales.blogspot.com http://stockmarketswithjoygopalpodder.blogspot.com

JOY IS SOMETHING THAT IS MULTIPLIED WHEN IT IS DIVIDED

THE COST OF LIVING HASN'T AFFECTED ITS POPULARITY

HUMOUR IS THE PEPPER OF CONVERSATION AND THE SALT OF LIFE

MEN RATTLE THEIR CHAINS TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE FREE

WHILE WE ARE POSTPONING, LIFE SPEEDS BY

ENVY IS LITTLENESS OF MIND

A NARROW MIND AND A WIDE MOUTH OFTEN GO TOGETHER

THEY ARE ABLE WHO THINK THEY ARE ABLE

WORDS WITHOUT IDEAS ARE LIKE SAILS WITHOUT WIND

EVERYTHING LOOKS YELLOW TO A JAUNDICED EYE

YOU CAN'T HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH WITH YOUR HAND OUT

ANOTHER PERSON'S SECRET IS LIKE ANOTHER PERSON'S MONEY: YOU ARE NOT AS CAREFUL WITH IT AS YOU ARE WITH YOUR OWN

HABITS ARE FIRST COBWEBS, THEN CABLES

THE WORLD IS ROUND SO THAT FRIENDSHIP MAY CIRCLE IT

DIG A WELL BEFORE YOU ARE THIRSTY

RUMOUR IS ONE THING THAT GETS THICKER AS YOU SPREAD IT

WHEN WE LEARN WITH PLEASURE WE NEVER FORGET

BLACK AND WHITE!
