"I have always viewed the mission of Wikipedia to be much bigger than just creating a killer website. We're doing that of course, and having a lot of fun doing it, but a big part of what motivates us is our larger mission to affect the world in a positive way.

"It is my intention to get a copy of Wikipedia to every single person on the planet in their own language. It is my intention that free textbooks from our wikibooks project will be used to revolutionize education in developing countries by radically cutting the cost of content. "Those kinds of big picture ideals make people very passionate about what we're doing. And it makes it possible for people to set aside a lot of personal differences and disputes of the kind that I talked about above, and just compromise to keep getting the work done. "I frequently counsel people who are getting frustrated about an edit war to think about someone who lives without clean drinking water, without any proper means of education, and how our work might someday help that person. It puts flamewars into some perspective, I think.

"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing."

Jimmy Wales July 28, 2004 [1]

My Works

My Early Days & My First Bestseller at 17

As a kid my favorite hobby was to sneak peek into my writer father, rationalist Prabir Ghosh's study. I loved the smell of ink and paint (he is an artist as well) that hung in the room and started my own adventure-comics-series ‘Birdman’ at 10. Birdman became popular among my classmates and by 13 I was writing fiction regularly that would get published in magazines here and there. The teenagers’ magazine that I was editing since I was in grade 8, had reached a circulation of 4,000 by the time I was in grade 10, with some of the best writers contributing occasionally. I was given an offer by the biggest publisher of Eastern India; Dey's Publishing, to write a 400 page book for them. The first turning point came in my life with the publication of my first big book, ‘Nothing Supernatural - III' (the first 2 volumes of the same book were authored by my father) at the age of 17. The book was a commercial success, while I was still in school.

I started my career early. I became a regular contributor of almost all of the best magazines of the market after this; contributing fiction as well as nonfiction writings. Between 1995 and 2000 I wrote three more books (thrillers); two of which became bestsellers. I ventured as a movie director and in 1998 when I directed my first mini series for Doordarshan, the no 1 Asian television channel by popularity at that time.

1st Indian language greeting cards

In 1999 I was studying the greeting card market of the 100 billion population India. I found out that the market was huge and was controlled by few players and largely dominated by English language greeting cards. I came to a decision that I will try out Indian language greeting cards for this enormous market. In 2000 I launched the world’s first Bengali language greeting cards that were out of stock in 7 days. We had to reprint on the 8th day.

BBC, National Geographic Channel, Wikipedia

After working with National Geographic Channel in 2005, for (Is It Real? Superhuman Powers), I focused fully into writing. I had become somewhat busy by the end of 2005, writing simultaneously for several blogs every month. I became a Wikipedia editor in 2005 and came in contact with several prolific editors like Paulami Sengupta Sarkar (Editor of Unish Kuri and Anandamela).

I Worked with BBC television for the film Desi DNA in May 2007, directed by Snageeta Sahdev. It was telecast on 6, 11 & 12 August, on BBC.

Bringing Hollywood and Bollywood screenwriters together

In July 2009 I launched TheScreenplayWriters.com, with my screenwriter friend Nick Blake. It is the first platform in history to bring Hollywood and Bollywood screenplay writers together.

Works within India

Besides launching the world's 1st Bengali greeting cards, I have regularly written for magazines like Sananda (number 1 women's magazine in Bengali), Unish Kuri (number 1 teen magazine in Eastern India). Recently started contributing in Anandamela, one of the oldest and most popular magazines for children.

As a ghostwriter of celebrities

I have have often worked as a ghostwriter for American, British and Indian celebrities, which include legendary Hollywood Salsa king, politicians and leaders. I have helped them write their biography or books on various subjects.
