From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"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."

My Early Days & My First Bestseller at 17

As a kid my favorite hobby was to sneak peek into my cartoonist-writer father Prabir Ghosh's study. I loved the smell of ink and paint 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, ‘Nostradamus—The True Story’ at the age of 17. The book was a commercial success, and remained on the top 10 charts for 46 weeks. I was still in school then.

Between 1995 & 2000

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. This work for children was appreciated and I was hired by Channel 4 (UK) for their production, Gurubusters, featured under Equinox.

How & Why I launched the 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. My brand became the no 1 selling Indian greeting card brand, and is still the no. 1.

National Geographic Channel, Wikipedia & my recent activities

After working with National Geographic Channel as a journalist in 2005, for the X-Men series, and again with Channel 4, I focused fully into writing. I had become quite busy as a web content writer by the end of 2005, writing simultaneously for about 20 websites every month. From web content to sales pages; reviews to resume; books to ebooks— I was working on all. I became a Wikipedia editor in 2005 and gained the friendship of Lee Bandoni (UK media tycoon & internet marketing guru), Gavin Tachibana, the Editor of Orkut (the popular community site of Google), Arfeen Khan (world famous management guru and writer) besides several editors like Paulami Sengupta Sarkar (Editor of Unish Kuri and Anandamela) worldwide.

As a ghostwriter of celebrities

I have have worked as a ghostwriter for celebrities like Hollywood-Bollywood movie stars to UK politicians. I have helped them write their biography or books on various subjects.

Teaming up with UK
