Special Character

God wouldn’t be god, if he had the choices and the cross roads we have. In her own world she often thought that human beings are an experimentation for a greater perfect species that god would create. The best of the evolution characteristics and the right decisions that work fine might be picked to create the perfect human being. But isn’t he the perfect one? She couldn’t decide.

This perfect man isn’t obviously perfect, after all sunspots are not visible to the naked eye. She knew his past, the present and could see a prospective future with another girl. It’s just the matter of jumping on the other side. After all life presents you with the most tempting offer only to polish it with the most disastrous consequence. Hers was probably a story of a Nut that met the Bolt in the wrong sequence of an assembly line.

She wouldn’t write, She couldn’t speak – neither could she cry. Tears are powerful – they make and break a case, just like coffee. Will she cry thinking of  him or will she cry thinking of why he fell for another? Some times the most spiritual moment of a person’s life is to let something close to their heart go and give it some peace. Spirituality wasn’t her forte yet. Every god was prayed, every religion was used. Absolutely no hatred there.

“Give me the strength to pass this or just make it happen.” Success is best enjoyed when achieved at the right time. No point winning the first and losing it later. Life is cruel, she thinks.

She imagined them meet, emotions crossed, apologies sung with the drums of smashing egos, it is as if nature made the assembly line right. Tears filled her heart, Heart beat sounded in her ears, words were just breathed away in a heavy silence – the natural system had gone for a toss.

Sometimes, even though nuts and bolts are made for each other, there is a thread that will tear them apart. Was she the one? Who makes the decision? Why is that decision right and not the other? How can you change the design? Are the gods as confused as much as she was? She was staring at a question paper for which none of the answers seem familiar. Just like her IIT JEE sometime back…

“1 New Message” announced the phone. A decision has been conveyed. With such a perfect imbalance in her body and mind, she opened.

The message was full of special characters.

Once Upon a Time ..

THE SITUATION

As if the problem with Sita wasn’t enough this had to come now. (Lord) Rama often knew that winning a war against a rogue who once attacked the very moral base of his country wasn’t enough. He has to continue such victory laps until the next ruler made a mistake.

You either die a good man or live long enough to become the villain.

How true, he thought. He was just informed that the puppet government installed in Sri Lanka under Vibheeshana had just collapsed and Ravana’s son had taken over.

Well, we didn’t go on a war because we wanted Oil or something. What’s Srilanka in comparison to Sarayu?

The King of Chola was a fair man. He denied the possibility of a second war.

I fought the first time because your wife, the first lady was involved. As a Thamizhan, we protect the ladies. They are important to us. But now, he is not coming at us. He will come for you directly. We’ll defend our nation whatever it may be, but I guess he will take the Sea route. And what is that with you questioning the chastity of Sita. Yaar, that’s a very unpopular move in our country. Not Cool. He says.

Rama had no patience to answer moral questions. He had a nation to defend and a reputation to protect, for he is the Lord and the very foundations of a future generation’s belief had to be protected.

To top it all, problem of corruption while he was in exile. Bharatha needs to be dealt with. He may deny it saying such expenditure was required to keep the economy running. Even the other Big nation prints currency, why shouldn’t he?

We are the fucking SuryaVansh. He hid his ego.

He will be dealt later.

THE PLAN

Lakshmana, what does Hanuman think? Has he been notified? Rama asked.

No brother, he is in meditation in the Himalayas. How unpopular would it be to destroy a meditation? We play right don’t we?

Sigh! So much for the righteousness. Eh?

I think I have a plan! Once again Sugriva, The General of Ayodhya, stepped to help.

Spell it out Sugriva, this is your time to shine. 

He presented a very careful analysis of the situation and began detailing what would be the costly solution. This more or less looks like a battle we ought to fight. We should have cleaned up completely and we didn’t. Who would have thought the son would rise? ­

Rama was furious. The war was between good and evil Sugriva. I fucking won Ravana. Our misson was done there.

That was not supposed to be the point.

Please arrive at the point.

Clean up. You should have given SriLanka to Chola. Vibheeshana is a team player, not a lead. Ok – So now, you just persuade the Chola to blow up the Bridge we built there. Did you notice he mentioned he would defend his nation and that we may expect Raavana’s son via Sea.

Yes. Hey, what’s that guys name?

No idea – lets just call him Ra.One. The only son alive? [That we didn’t know of!]

Alright – Proceed. Rama seemed to like Sugriva’s humor.

So Lets ask the Chola to block Ra.One’s entry to Tamil Nadu. We’ll get him to arrive at the SunderBans. He would need local support to find out Ayodhya. I don’t think you get maps in Srilanka. I hope Google never went there with their cars.

Yeah, those evil fellas. I think I will go after them next.

Huh! Focus Rama. So they get to SunderBans and this is where we ask the Bongs to call your place Ayutthaya instead of Ayodhya.

What the…!

I recently found out that there is one somewhere east with similar geographies. I’ll have my forces sent there to quickly build a make shift fortress and prepare the army there. That way – he will have to fight multiple borders and find Ayutthaya. So basically …

Lakshmana interrupts. Oh hey hold on. That’s like spending chariot loads of money. Why cant we just kill the S of a B right when he is landing near the sea of SunderBans.

Sugriva and Rama share glances and chuckle at Lakshmana’s naivety.

Rama is happy to explain: Lakshmana – You must think. I win over a land by outsourcing the war to them. They think we are partnering them but they really take the pain and work late shifts and all. We of course would pay them less than what we pay people here but they’ll be happy. They progress, they become our ally. We get to their resources easily [heard, they have fucking awesome beaches in Phuket] and just beat Ra.One to death. People of Ayodhya will never have to worry a bit.

Lakshmana at this time is just hoping that people here don’t realize this and complain about job losses later. He just cannot take that with Rama’s son ready to lead or who knows, over throw their father. Sita must be pissed off.

THE WAR

Ra.One was cursing the Chola by now. He is stuck in the sea with boatloads of weapons and an army the size of his country.

That Chola empire must fall and hopefully Pandian, the fearless at heart, comes in.

How many more days before we see a land, Captain?

Soon enough, the Bengal Tigers at SundarBans welcomed him. His first shot was at the locals who alerted him of Ayutthaya. God, these Reds hate Ayutthaya. I thought they were once part of the game?

Unable to believe how his opinion on the rule had changed over few years, he marched east to discover areas that look absolutely neglected. No match for the said glory of Ayutthaya.

I must get these people something when I win the war. Gosh, how impoverished these people are. Aren’t they supposed to flourish under the Golden Rule?

After 2 Ammavasyas he reached the plains only to meet an impatient army.

Oh So, You must be Sugriva?

THE COUP

Little did Rama at Ayodhya know about the planned coup. He had already asked Chola to go ahead with Occupy Colombo plans. Chola, the gentleman, offered about half the land back to Vibheeshana and stayed North to protect the South from a returning Ra.One. If at all he did.

As Rama fled the nation, his thought was all about his sons. After all, these sons do not yet have any factions and how long can sons be disgruntled. He would give The Ayodhya to Lava and Ayutthaya to Kusha.

When a woman is behind the sons, why would they lose? They wouldn’t.

THE LIFE

Retired and vacationing between Phuket and DehraDun, Rama lived with Sita happily ever after.

Lava built Lavapuri to the west while ruling from Ayodhya and named Kasur after Kusha. Kusha would reciprocate with Lobpuri and keep Ayutthaya.

Rama would later narrate 3 stories of his life in a Nalanda commencement speech.

Never leave your wife alone (or with your brother), Clean up your act – wherever whatever, Never trust a guy who conspired against his clan with an Amit.

He would be a God to every one from then on.

Lobpuri, Kasur, Lavapuri(Lahore), Ayutthaya and Ayodhya are real places that exist even today. Sugriva conspired with Rama to kill Vaali.



Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Thank you, Steve!

Thoughts on Apple and Steve Jobs

The society cannot accept more than one change at a time. A famous quote from the movie “The Prestige” apparently spoken by the famous Nikola Tesla. Confirming its DNA Apple thought crazy and decided to bring about many changes at a time that stand next only to the introduction of Unix or the concept of computer.

Apple for good embarked on the journey of “Revolution” right after Steve came back to apple. The wheels that have been set in motion is not just what we would consider in his own words “scratching the surface” but also unknown space. What Steve has essentially created is a vision and a path that would pave way for more pervasive usage of gadgets and computers not completely known to man yet.

What any company or industry would have done over couple of decades (or more), apple did it in just few years. The industry has been catapulted into the free space that it can just survive by evolving existing technologies by combining recent innovations. Remember innovation and creating new technology is different from complete product that creates a revolution in how you think you use that new technology. Case in point – the touch screen.

He introduced one product after the other that just caught every single gadget freak in surprise and awe. Quite like a genius and a master – after weaving his magic for 10 years, Steve just decided that he would need these innovations to “Evolve” to make Apple greater. This need to evolve is precisely why he picked Tim Cook, the man who is known to be with apple since 1998 and to have understandably changed the way apple operates – profitably and efficiently. You wouldn’t pick an operations guy to innovate, but is that what Steve was thinking when he picked him?

It has probably been decided at apple by now that its not just how you evolve (which people at apple can obviously do) but at the same time do it in the most efficient way that innovators would love to collaborate and competitors would be flummoxed on their strategy.

The next decade at apple is set in running the company amazingly efficient while keeping innovations to evolve the path Steve has put forward. Remember even without Steve Apple did innovate but weren’t efficient in doing what  they did the best.

There is not a day far from now when Apple products will be omnipresent but the world would run on it. This is exactly the time and the reason you hand it over to the operations guy. Tim Cook must be ready to roar as one Lion just finished its hunt, its prey – competitors.

 The Era of Steve Jobs is just about to start.

Random crossroads and turning right.

The License Raj once existed in India shielding her from the vulnerabilities of foreign market imbalances. The west has often craved for complete access to Indian markets to do business and dump its idea of capitalism. Fate, Destiny or Karma – whatever it may be called has a strange way of connecting the dots, of course looking backwards – as Steve Jobs famously said.

The ‘so called’ Prime Minister of India was once hailed and admired for bringing India out of such restrictions to the light, in a way benefitting the entire middle class of this nation to dream higher and be more comfortable if not prosperous or richer. Ironically, it is the same middle class –  the next generation of course, that is going up against the current political power in the center headed by the same man whom apparently Nostradamus rumored to have predicted would rule.

India today stands as a giant that is often a point of hate in the west for storming the software world providing software services to many nations essentially amounting to billions of dollars in business. It has often been pointed out that we are this unique brand that combines our astute ability in logical functioning with the knowledge in English (against what/whom we once fought) making it the selling factor.

The world can neither do without our software services nor can they actually ignore this nation. They may find alternatives but not quite a replacement. The DotCom bubble made a lot of aspiring engineers to look for other disciplines, which apparently would have been the future, per the elders who had seen it all.

Luckily that was not the case. Even though a BE, ECE was in demand then, India never quite entered or understood the Manufacturing of Silicon which it happily gave up to China as it required physical labor and  heavy/risky investment even though Bangalore is ironically dubbed “Silicon Valley of India”.

We just write software.

As much as the world is heavily dependent on the software business, a key market was conspicuously absent from all these ball game. India itself. It can be almost compared to No offshore Oil drilling by the US while constantly purchasing and suffering oil from Middle East.

Indian businesses have been very slow to adopt software and services – even after a heavy drive by various state and central governments in conducting e Business. Physical paper, Files folders and fountain pen with multi color ink exist even today. Blue Reynolds in the shirt pocket is still a trend going by the matrimony pictures on the websites.

There is not even a single valuable quality software product from this country selling it to the world even though such quality software sold by any one in the world has at least 1 Indian or probably Indian software companies behind it.

Today, more than that – corruption has been a major issue when dealing with how business is conducted in the government offices. Enough has been said on how the implementation of such eServices could possibly root out corruption where the system, its rules and the flow determines where your application would be currently and not the ‘officers’. It probably would even expose who missed to do their job. More power to metrics, graphs and excel sheets.

It is obvious now that India is ready for an IT revolution. As the world markets fumble and countries such as US is focusing on creating local jobs even in the software sector by curbing Visa Quota or implementing Government policies, the need to look elsewhere proactively to keep the nation going is inevitable.

Indians preferring low cost solutions and this job being high paying one (at least in comparison) may result in salary restructuring. After all this may become less lucrative and less attractive. The normalization of salaries could happen based on the revenue companies make from overseas business along with the income generated locally. Quite healthy, slow but steady and inclusive growth.

So as the political parties point to each other attempting to solve a political problem using a badly written Bill, its time to understand that there exists an equally average if not worse solution with the India’s apparently powerful IT industry.

More start up IT firms may rise in India working low costs solutions to Governments and small business. As these small businesses attempt to start conducting business effectively, they make profits all the while keeping the employment rate going because it creating the demand for IT companies venturing local markets. Not-so-high paying jobs would mean you would not be christened a software engineer at birth. Your kid could probably be a farmer or even an entrepreneur delivering local services or a cook.

A political party that understands and champions this idea attempting to bring about a second reform offering IT companies (who attempt to survive global flip flops today) to aggressively look for markets in India would take the cake for the next decade.

Destiny will once again find a leader probably with a Blue Turban and provide respite to the low income groups who today look helpless with all the high cost and unaffordable corruption. Middle class will once again do what it is intended to do. Work hard, voice concerns/opinions, fight at times and thus keep the nation going.

UPDATE: Within few hours of the post – Nandan Nilekani says technology enables all these and LokPal is not the only thing.

Randomly on Songs

Every once in a while comes a song that is pictured well, it stays in your heart forever. As the desi mind gets exposed to the Tarantinos and Scorceses there is a very urgent urge to imitate the format essentially meaning -getting rid of songs. Though – the random filmmaker in me thinks that AranyaKandam with no song sequences made a lot of sense as the entire movie happens in a day – there is also a fear that we may as well take it one step beyond and lose the ability to shoot a song in other movies in an interesting way.

Such thoughts led me thinking about songs that were well pictured when I grew up, the 90s. As described by any foreign tabloid about an Indian movie, the songs abruptly stops the narrative in spite of being shot colorfully and often loud (Read Punjabi).

But there were songs in the 90s that have essentially made the movie watching experience so wonderful that one just wonders if that was the reason why none of the biggies in the Tamil Film Industry could get rid of songs.

My pick of the 3 best-shot songs coincidentally fell into 3 categories. Although many would agree that there were other amazing song sequences, to me, these were so fresh that I would shoot these songs the same way even today and get people to call it path breaking.

What was also a rare coincidence was that every song mentioned below explains the intent of the song in its first line.

1. Uyire Uyire -Bombay
Undoubtedly the best pictured song in the Indian Film industry, Maniratnam poetically shot the gloominess of the character in a location where the Hero looks at the open sea, turbulent and waves hitting the rocks ferociously signifying the future he was looking at, all the while yearning for his lady love to acknowledge his emotion.

It is worth mentioning that the last few seconds of the song where the camera just revolves around Manisha Koirala and Aravind swamy was beyond Vairamuthu’s words. Rahman ‘drums it up’ with such amazing Guitar and Hariharan’s voice that you are almost left in the same emotion.

Path breaking, emotional and yet very Indian – Uyire Uyire from Bombay shows the west what an emotional/musical narrative is all about.

2. Unnodu Vazhatha – Amarkalam
Quite rarely comes a new director who has a very clear thought on the songs to be shot quite romantically. Surprisingly, Charan (from KB’s stable) awes the viewer with an amazing sequence probably to be loved by every single female in the state.

Neither a Fancy set nor a dreamy locale the songs plays right in the lady’s house. She dreams of her guy spending a day with her unnoticed by her entire family all the way expressing the reasons why she likes him.

Dramatic, Romantic – however you call it, Unnodu Vaazhatha clearly shows every one how fancy sets or dreamy locales interrupting the narrative is not that Indian songs are all about. They sometimes express the state of mind, quite dramatically.

3. ManamVirumbuthey – Nerukku Ner.
Call it personal prejudice or my bias towards the Heartthrob of 90s being introduced in the screen, this is what you call “Packaging” a song. The lyrics being surprisingly neutral that an equivalent male version would be as effective as the female one. What works for this song is the way in which Simran’s close up and the Choreography are edited, assisted by near to perfect cinematography(lighting). Add to it Simran’s gorgeousness!!

Specific instances in the lyrics that require an emotional emphasis takes the close up while the celebration of everything else goes for a well choreographed sequence. Take a note of how the second charanam starts – very simple yet very striking. Though Surya didn’t have much to do in the song (may be he couldn’t dance then) he steals the show with his close up smiles.

Clichéd to call it Foot Tapping or Enjoyable – Manam Virumbuthey clearly shows how a well-choreographed number clearly engages the audience despite interrupting the narrative, probably.

What were yours?

PS: I had songs like Kanmani Anbodu from Guna in my list and i’d probably change them someday or make it top 5

Making a Hero out of an Average

Anna Hazare then and now Baba Ramdev. Its nothing to be proud that these people have taken up a “cause”. A quick look at both -the intention seems to go with the billion but the means of achieving that intention seems pretty naive. The Lok Pal bill is as questionable as the law it questions today. Not to mention the line that Baba Ramdev is crossing but given that he is also a citizen, his requests seem pretty naive apart from asking govt to bring back Black Money stashed in Swiss Bank.

One doesn’t give credit to these people for raising these issues. To me Subramanian Swamy’s efforts are worth more than “fasting netas”. You explore a fast unto death only when all the democratic means have been closed, such as a case when we fought for independence. Subramanian Swamy’s fight in the Supreme court seems more laudable. [Read the 2G Scam and Supreme Court involvement after Subramanian Swamy's petition]

I am wondering if even one of them attempted to go to the Supreme Court, raise the issue and failed? Have we even used the Democratic process to address issues while gathering public attention and support?

Without exploring the existing avenues of escalation they seem to propose solution to enhance the same. They just end up misleading the nation on the solution like our forefathers did on Independence, Partition and Kashmir.

Its not their “greatness” that they have caught the “public eye” but it is the government’s weakness by being reactive and not proactive. The moment you are firefighting a failure in your own organization pointed by others you have failed considerably.

Shame on UPA for making Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev famous and their naivety cheered.

One just hopes that this democracy doesn’t allow the average minds proposing naive solutions to take center stage.

Randomly Analyzed

A mid day, post lunch gaping out of the window thought of what the TN elections have done to the democracy in the state is as fascinating as the day when you thought India would lose to Sri Lanka yet again, but won. I am not political pundit nor are my opinions rational to call this an analysis – but as my blog defines the randomness, I go into such thoughts.

Remember the famous Goundar line from Indian “Cover la Amount vaangardhu than Government”* One of the most insightful and thoughtfully written fact corroborating the protagonist – Senapathy’s claim that in India, Government employees must be paid to carry out the duty – and sometimes in favor of the one who is bribing.

2011 TN elections ironically reverses that cause-effect situation. The Government [Not specifically the employee], the stakeholder  – is willing to bribe the voter to 1. Perform the duty of voting 2. To perform it to their Advantage.

Now it is no surprise on 2 counts as to what the result might be. But, what is appalling is that you just cannot judge what people would do or think and the 2 points contradict each other.

A government – For the people, By the people – means if a Govt Employee [the people] would do their job right after taking a bribe – directly implies the common man who is as much a govt employee probable himself – will deliver. Added to the free stuff they would receive in any case, by the rules of bidding – the highest bidder gets the cake. In this case the DMK must win.

Consider the other angle to this – a tricky one that the DMK might have to hope against and the one ADMK is counting on – is the fact that they show themselves to the people that they Bribe to get something done. Now, an average educated [not the school/MS-MBA/Blog writing types] person would guess one step further thinking if they are prepared to bribe, they wouldn’t mind asking one. Would you want to elect such a government back? The Free stuff comes any way.  Answer would be Vote for ADMK.

Now where does it leave us? Mathematics, particularly any blog writing Engineering student recalls Probability where the coin has to be tossed 729 times to achieve something – and the answer is always 50 50. Trends, pointers and other MBA /statistics metrics points to one or the other which clearly makes the election analysis anything like the Times of India polls which asks “Will India be a developed nation in 2012” with answers “Yes” “No” “Can’t Say” where a good section of people from Bangalore [The Clichéd educated] thinks they are confused and “Can’t say”.

Yes, Providing your analysis even with a sample can be wrong. Gauging the mind of a common man in the Polling booth is as arrogant as a human being defining God. Have you ever understood what you know you will do in the next few days?

The so-called pseudo-Pundits trying to analyze a specific pattern in the randomness of the environment with a near to “acceptable” theory is as complex and inconclusive as this sentence.

Do we need such analysis? Is Random idea your way of thought?

* one who receives an amount in a cover is a government  - an alliteration based comedy on Cover and Government both made to sound like Ka

Midnight Dogs

It is pretty simple. Gautham shouldn’t be expecting any one to like the movie. Sometimes the results that we usually define will not suite certain situations and this is one such movie. When you say you liked the movie, you can only be talking about the attempt and the convincing aspect of the filmmaking rather than the film itself. Nadunisi Naaygal !

Call me spoilt watching every other movie on Netflix, but Gautham’s attempt is no brainer. Split personality is predictable, certain assumptions of the character seemed bookish and infact calling it a thriller seemed too ambitious. But make no mistakes; you have to give it to him only for the format of filmmaking if not for anything else.

Not once you miss the background score – nor does it feel like a documentary. The film’s format has been well chosen and the sound engineering department shines. Note the time when you have a top angle of a compound wall with the police officer trying to scout the house. It starts raining! Well done there!  So is the Cinematography. Manoj’s use of natural ‘looking’ lighting needs no mention. We are never drawn out of the scene by either poor cinematography or its excellence. It fits.

Gautham once again doesn’t mind using a fair amount of English in his dialogues and obviously justified by the urban locality in which the movie happens. Sometimes bookish and predictable but otherwise crisp, it is usual Gautham.  Actors in every role, play it smooth. Sameera, Veera, Swapna Abraham among the few are quite impressive. I just don’t want that Vettaiyadu Vilayadu doctor anymore.  [Remember: I have never seen such a gory murder in my life. That guy]

What really doesn’t work in the technical aspects of the film is its Story. It is not the case of being bad – its just not good enough. Take for instance the relationship of Veera and Sukanya [Sameera] You got to give a little bit of story around his liking from school before he ends up with her. Too much time is taken to bring some basics to Veera and his childhood but little is done to play out or justify his actions because of that. It just happens.  Example: Why doesn’t Meenakshi complain to the police when she is assaulted? Awkward!  That entire part following that, the start of his weird behavior and the whole idea after that seemed too little too quick.

It felt like sequences were being laid out, plugged in dialogues or scenes out of context elsewhere in the narrative only to reveal it later as a surprise. If you say that’s how it is, I would say it isn’t convincing yet. And hey, we do see a bit of Identity in it.

It takes a lot of guts to break a stereotype by rewriting every rule, but you always get only one chance to do it. You do it well, you win. Else you are appreciated but not remembered. Strangely, Gautham will be remembered for his effort, another feather on his cap – but Nadunisi Naygal wont be.  Some other movie that comes along based on NN’s guts will outshine this.

Kireedom

The Original Kireedom featuring mohanlal had this classic song that has always given me the lump in the throat moment. The original movie was also a blockbuster that cannot be generally described in words. Not sure if it was the acting, the story’s obvious drama or the feel of the 80s – but remained unbeatable. Ajith’s tamil version didnt make it look bad – but was just good enough.

This song was back to my current playlist because of its polished version.
