Abu-al-Mughith al-Husayn ibn Mansur al-Hallaj

I think this article is one that could change anyone’s perception about life, love and God.

It is about a true historical character and events I have compiled from various sources I would like you to know about one sufi saint. I love the saint very much, because his character can influence anyone’s life very deeply.

There have been many mystics, and there will be many mystics, but I don't think anybody will have the same taste as Al-Hillaj Mansoor. He was rare in every sense.

Though new in the field of psychology, Emotional Intelligence is a topic two decades too late to write about. It was major discussion in the mid-nineties. Today, this article is an attempt to improve our understanding of the subject.

Emotion simply means strong feeling. Etymology describes its origin to - Greek word amyno (push away), Lithunian mauti (push on), Sanskrit kama-muta (move by love), Latin movere (move), Vulgar Latin exmovere (move by love), Old French esmovoir (to excite), French emotion (emotion). The year 1579 AD saw a first recorded definition of emotion – a physical, moving, stirring, agitation.

Sustainability - Matching Aptitude with the pace of Science and Technology

Within the framework of modern thoughts, the concept of sustainability is quite recent. Introduced around mid twentieth century[1]; emerging out of the fashionable environmental cause that “hippies” took up from the fall-out of laws addressing industrial pollution. Even without the ‘word’ sustainable used by major world rural population, they practiced a living in the most ‘so called’ sustainable way. That sustainable life style still prevails in many parts of the world that is not yet touched by the industrialization wave. It encompassed individual, family and community lifestyles to maintain a natural balance with their immediate surrounding.

Review of "Good to Great" by Jim Collins

I have not lived Jim’s life, so very difficult for me to be in his shoes to know what drove him to his point in life to derive such strong convictions about his work. With that humble sympathies towards Jim, I write this critic.

A film critic friend selected 100 grosser top Hollywood movies and after studying them for 10 years with the help of the most high-tech movie analytical software, interviewing directors, producers and key crew members of films, and comparing them with 100 biggest flops; he came with a book - a 100% guarantee formula for “10 keys on how to make a Hollywood Blockbuster”. If you think that someone can make a Hollywood blockbuster following the 10 keys, then this book is surely for you to read. If not, than you may like to read this review.
