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

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
