The other day a thought occurred. If someone with a split personality (Very acute as shown in thriller movies, though I am not sure if the extend of fiction in the movies are far from reality) uses social media tools like Facebook and Twitter would he or she remember the passwords of a profile created by one personality? Or would they create a new profiles for every new personality that they split into? Assuming they will remember the passwords and will [...]
Their Cries Silence the church bells Stop the temple hymns Interrupt the call for prayers Their Cries Get louder when you ignore Do you know who they are? You should… Because they are our children Killed and Orphaned in the bloody timelines of history When religions, politics & power clash with one another in useless ideological struggles Their Cries We can never escape from them Because they are our children
When I asked someone what a million dollar question was he just shrugged and said questions don’t have a value, it is the answers that carry the value. He was at the same time right and wrong. ‘Right’ because the answer is what ultimately bears the reasoning for the question’s existence. ‘Wrong’ because to get valuable answers you have to ask essential and valuable questions. This made me thinking what really would be a million dollar question? How can you [...]
Let us admit Social CRM for many companies is about how well they can sell more which might not be the correct thing given the potential of Social Media to enhance your business. Yes Profits and revenue are important but they don’t happen without customers and that means customers who are happy with you.

It is moving the common user from a simple single wall to a real home. From the early days when making a Website used to be rocket science and companies and geeks minted money on it the simple website business has become [...]
I had the pleasure to read the poems of Marjorie Agosin, poet and Human Right Activist. When you read a varied set of subjects that pertain to your interests you often stumble upon something that sticks with you. Something that leave you wanting more and makes you think such that you are forced out of your own self. That is what Marjorie’s poems did to me. They pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me watch myself in [...]
I surrender to you Bind myself in the locks of your hair and tell the world to go away As they search for me in your fallen veils You hide me between your eyelids Smile lasciviously at the world Distract them The world slowly withdraws Leaving me alone Lost somewhere in you Unarmed, Weak but protected
Tampered by his own soul His Body lay senseless Imprisoned The Soul struggling to set itself free Body trying to run for safety They both know Finally the Soul will win the battle When time crosses an unaware second Somewhere in the future The Soul will win and the body will lose But now is not the time The Body starts moving Frees itself and runs Soul gets trapped once again In an eternal battle with the body Awaiting it’s [...]

Mustafa Akyol’s “ISLAM without Extremes” is a must read for every muslim and non-muslim. A relevant and important book for our times that takes you through the historical and political terrain on which many interpretations have been made.

The book comes out as a powerful cry from a devote muslim who sees [...]
