Mike Christian on Mindfulness and Mental Energy We've all come to work exhausted, or under the weather, or while experiencing some sort of physical pain.

When our mental energy is depleted, we are less able to exhibit control over our emotions and behaviors - and are more likely to be disengaged, break rules, take part in deception, or even act unethically.

Subhash Ghai's film school land deal to be nulled? Disgraced showman Subhash Ghai is most likely to lose the 5.5 acre land that the Maharashtra government had allotted him in Film City for his acting school. In the wake of several women accusing Ghai of serious sexual misdemeanour including rape, it is reliably learned that the Government of Maharashtra has resolved to cancel the land lease for Ghai's school. Subhash Ghai runs his film school Whistling Woods on that land. A source close to the development says, "It is one thing for casting directors and young directors to be accused. But a formidable veteran like Ghai who has given so many landmark films to Indian cinema and launched actors like Jackie Shroff, Madhuri Dixit and Manisha Koirala, this disgrace is a real low blow. It shows the entertainment industry in a really awful light. Allotting him land for creative purposes no longer makes sense." |
