“I’d advise you to test cognitive ability before hiring, rather than emotional intelligence. EI has been the most overrated concept of the last two decades.” “I’d want to assess just one skill.” “What’s that?” barked the boss. “To know if a highly charged situation needs a breakwater or a dam.

Where are all the Greens?
We have seen how greenery in nature look..
We have seen how cityscapes look..
We are lucky enough to have seen the best of both worlds..
