Hi to all you dear Vincentians,
Remember me --Stanley David , the first one to pass out of St Vincents School Senior Cambridge exam in 1972 --ages ago, before mobile phones and Mallika Sherawat and such were invented .
To give you a brief brief on my journey from Berhampur to Bangalore where I am based now -- after school, went to Loyola College, Madras, to attain Nirvana --then did my MA in Eco at Khallikote College, the Oxford Collge of South Orissa --and then joined SAIL , which allowed me to have great fun at Calcutta for 15 years --and after asmall stint as Regional Manager at Vizag Steel, I joined the British High Commission as a Senior Trade Adviser --this job was more fun --travelled to London , with delegations, addresses Lord Mayor of London and Birmingham, visited Stratford upon Avon and saw Merchant of Venice ( which Sr Rosalie had taught me so well, that I was reciting some lines out there while Shylock asked for his pound of flesh...), travelled across Europe, soaking in art and history and films, and finally took a sabbatical from work in 2000 to write my first book, a quiz book, which Penguin published as "Penguin India Quis Book 2003:".
Then I relocated with my family ( allow me to introduce my wife Jayashree, twodaughters Divya, 15, and Athena, 7 yrs) to Bangalore, where I teach Marketing at a B-School as a Visiting Prof ; I also train companies in soft skills ( communication skills, leadership, team kills and all that) ; and yes, I still quiz a lot.
So thats all about me -- enjoying my second innings at Bangalore --reinveting myself and transforming people as a trainer.
And , dear Vineentians, please email to me : quizinc@yahoo.co.in,
with warm wishes,
Stanley
