Fitna the Movie
long awaited. its a very different film.
Director/Producer/Writer: Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician (rightist).
core stuffed with an unbalanced ideology and the shell adorned with impressionable caricaturization.
the plot of this 10 minute odd film does NOT revolve around anything. the plot simply sticks to the basic point. it lashes out hard at Islam, the teachings.
there has been a lot of hue and cry about this movie from either ends. the free world fundamentalists call it curtailing of the freedom of expression while the Islamics are emotional about the gross picturization of the film in itself.
i just saw the 10 minute flick....
the disclaimer is called in the first very frame of the film.
"Warning: The movie contains disturbing material".
next we have the Quran Sharif (the Central religious text of Islam) opening. an extraordinary looking, ornate-back book. Quran is an Arabic word that means the recitation.
i looked back to check if it did open from exactly the opposite end as regular books. without a doubt.
next on roll is one of the ever famous and controversial cartoons of Prophet Mohamed by the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. The Prophet has a ticking bomb in his turban.
Basically the Quran Sharif is broken down into Surahs (meaning: an entity enclosed by a fence) which are chapters and further into verses. the director has centered on a few Surahs that are interpreted by the Islamic extremists to the best of their understanding giving rise to something like a 9/11 massacre.
The camera rolls to Quran's Surah 8, vers 60. the interpretation boils down to the fact that the Quran preaches to terrorize the enemies of Islam as an enemy of self. this is spiced with a few breathtaking pictures of the 9/11 attack which we all would have seen before, followed by the train station blasts in Madrid.
the Muslim clergy (Imams) follows next, evangelizing the idea of extremism by killing non-muslims. these are some real footages.
hold your breath when the film reel touches 2:30 on the timer. there are actually some disturbing pictures of baked corpses waiting for the maggots.
Quran's Surah 4, vers 56 attacks the disbelievers in Islam. the movie again has some very aggressive interpretations alongside the Imams (clergy) at the best of their provocation.
a short interview of a three and a half year old lovely Muslim girl follows. she's asked what she thinks about the Jews. rap comes a reply... "they are monkeys and swines". this according to the toddler is what Allah says in the Quran.
the Muslims praise Hitler, ridicule Jews with their expression in public. its a crystal clear depiction of the thoughts and acts of Muslims.
Surah 47, vers 7 in the flick again points out at disbelievers. according to the interpretation
the throats shall be slit of such people. Theo van Gough, a film director with a strong critical viewpoint on Islam was murdered in a street of Netherland by a Morroccon Muslim Mohammed Bouyeri. the director adds some clips from T. van Gough's interview before the murder and a statement by Bouyeri wherein he claims that given another chance he would re-act the whole murder sequence.
Please Note that the picture shown is not that of Mohammed Bouyeri but of a Morroccon-Muslim rapper Salah Edin.
Surah 4, vers 89 is the last one to take the interpreters' toll. Islam is glorified and rated above all other religions. ex-muslims threatened and abused, salman rusdhie being one of them.
the last shot very smartly plastered wherein one of these pages from the Quran is held firm and in the next very darkened frame a paper ripping sound is heard.
running text in the end suggests to Muslims to take a call on their Holy Book. to learn from the good and rip the hatred.
then there is a slight shift in the agenda and the text reads "Stop Islam from spreading - defend OUR freedom".
ending with the focus on the same cartoon where it all began. the focus precisely on the ticking time-bomb on the head of Prophet Mohamed with the added sound effect of the tick-tocking of a clock as the background score.
in my opinion, the Muslims fighting against this movie are justified. as this i feel is a gross glorification of the extremism that has been inculcated in Islam as a religion.
i can watch this movie and express my opinion with ease. neither am I a Muslim nor was i there at the WTC on 9/11.
but what astonishes me is that i could have been Mohommed dRoZzY or dRoZzY Nelson at the WTC. and i could have still come from a similar family of high values. what would i have then thought about Fitna.
let us all be just to one another. let us be just to humanity. God does not make Allah or Christ...
He makes human beings in His factory. some of His productions are like Mohommed Bouyeri and some like Geert Wilders. the rest of the products are you and I...
if one sikh killing Indira Gandhi gets over 5000 random sikhs butchered in the National Capital Region of India then the random Muslims needs to find another planet sooner than now.
You may watch Fitna the Movie here...

happy birthday Skeeter
my phone buzzed @ 11:55 pm to wake me up from my nascent sleep. it's never pissing off to receive Skeeter's call (I'd better say this).
and the golden question was..."so you really don't intend to wish me on my birthday... ?"
in my head strikes a gong. the phrase "wtf" echoed several times before i could start the process of feeling and more importantly sounding sorry.
"oh hell Skeets... is it March 12 already? oh no.... i am sooooooooooooooooo sorry. hell... how could i even forget? ahh now i remember.. i am a lunatic..."
and then i even tell her that i would not have done the same thing would i have been in her place. being the egotist/egoist creep that i am.
but then to my glory, i was reminded that something similar had happened on my birthday too. it was so similar.
thank God for making my move out of my guilt zone in a flash.
i can live...
Happy Belated Birthday Skeets..... the lavish treat is awaited.

"mom, i sold Hockey"
last night i was more than sad to learn about India not even qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. that was really the last thing that i had ever expected from the Indian Team or the IHF.
hockey was one of the many sports that i enjoyed to the core back in school. my passion grew from the fact that the only game that my Dad had ever played was Hockey. my maternal grandfather played Hockey for West Punjab before the Indian/Pakistani independence. i always felt like it was a family sport. i was the torchbearer.
apart from being hit by Hockey sticks on the field, i have had my good share of tasting the wooden babies off field also. i have always had a rowdy bunch of friends.
though bedridden, but still my grandfather would get upset beyond imagination learning about the great feat. achieved by my nation in his favorite sport.
at this stage i wish to give two hoots to the blame game and just imagine how some very important people would feel about this conquest of ours...
the wizard of hockey.... major dhyan chand
this man is to Hockey what don bradman is to cricket.
his accomplishments are too honorable to be described in a blog. i have no clue where to start from. he got for india the gold medal from the berlin olympics 1936 but his fireworks had begun way before 1936 and ended the day he died sometime in the late 1970s. legend has it that he told his doctor on his deathbed that hockey is dying.
in tokyo they split open his stick to find the hidden magnet. later they got off by stating that it was just some glue on his stick that holds the ball too close.
adolf hitler offered him a job in his army.
in vienna they have his statue outside the olympics statium that has 8 hands.
he died penniless...
mecca of indian hockey... the village of sansarpur
this village has produced 12 hockey olympians.
7 out of these 12 have played in the same olympics too.
i read this morning that for the first time in the year 1968 india did not reach the Finals of the olympics in berlin since 1928 when we had pocketed the gold.
the famous five of the india squad hailed from this village named col. balbir singh, ajit singh, balbeer singh, tarsem singh ad jagjit singh. they were then scared to set foot in their own village of sansarpur. it was a heinous crime committed.
look at us today.... all we want is sponsorship. we want to be like cricket.
the dictator who raped the sport... k.p.s gill (Indian Hockey Federation Chief)
sir, it must have been a tough job to mother this game. of all the field hockey talent that runs in the veins of this country starting the amsterdam olympics' gold 1928, it must have taken a lot of effort on your part to ruin it.
this game got for india 8 olympic gold medals till date, the last one dating 1980.
cricket is nowhere close boss. you raped it all.
it's a disgrace to this country.
oh no.. please do not take this wrong. kps gill is a disgrace to this country. for dhyan chand watches you from above. sansarpur awaits you there. my grandfather thinks that you are a prick. and i don't need to give you a piece of my mind about you.
Indian Hockey... R.I.P

IT industry has its own Hiranyakashyap to battle ~ Anand Mahindra
One of the tasks we at the Mahindra Group have set ourselves is to aspire to be recognized as the most customer-centric organization in India, and why not, in the World! In order to walk the talk, every time I'm asked to speak at a conference, I have made it a default option to ask what the audience--my customers--might expect of me. And so I found myself wondering what this conclave of IT wizards expects from a predominantly right-brained character like myself. You certainly haven't called me here to deliver a sermon on technology. And I wouldn't even risk doing that with Nandan (Nilekani) and Kiran (Karnik) sharing the dais! Of course, I might have been able to do that by getting one of my IT colleagues to write this speech, but then it would have been comprehensible to you, but incomprehensible to me! And although the title of this session is 'Building a Knowledge Economy for Growth', I believe that a) All of you out there have helped build the foundations of a knowledge economy, so again, you don't need me to pontificate to you about that and b) I think there are some urgent pressures and imperatives the industry has to deal with at this point.
So, I'm going to talk about something completely different: I will talk about the Trimurti. Most of the Indians in this audience will know the Trimurti – the trinity in Indian mythology of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the sustainer and Shiva the destroyer. There is a wonderful depiction of this in stone, just ten kilometers across the bay, at Elephanta. Both as a businessman, and as someone who tends to see life in visual images, the Trimurti reminds me of India's IT industry. Think of it.
You people have gone through a stage, where like Brahma, you created something out of nothing. You created a new and global industry. You created a service sector that is today, a major pillar of our GDP. But most importantly, you created a perception of a new India, both in the world and in Indian hearts and minds. CK Prahalad once told me that in universities in America today, there are almost unfairly high expectations from Indian students, because there is a huge perception that all Indian students are brilliant, outstanding. You created that perception. And within India, what you created was self-belief. You showed us what Indians could do, and now the rest of India believes that Indians can do anything.
Brahma created a physical landscape; you sowed the seeds of a new mental and psychological landscape. In that sense, you are truly the Brahmas of the age of liberalisation. But creation is only the first phase. You then have to move on to the next phase of sustaining that creation - to the realm of Vishnu the preserver.
Creation is a one-time affair.
Sustaining that creation is obviously a longer haul, subject to many attacks and crises. Perhaps that is why Vishnu comes not in one, but in ten incarnations. Every time there is a new danger, he changes his avatar to a form best suited to meet that danger. At various times he has come as a fish, as a tortoise, as a dwarf.
But his most interesting avatar came when he had to fight the demon Hiranyakashyap. Hiranyakashyap was a bad guy, who had obtained an amazing boon from the gods. Neither man nor beast could kill him; he could not be killed by daylight or at nighttime, within his home or outside it, on the ground or in the sky. All this made him pretty invincible – he went on a rampage, and only Vishnu could tackle him.
The IT industry today faces challenges every bit as complex as those Hiranyakashyap posed for Vishnu.
It is hit by a macroeconomic tsunami of adverse currency changes, rapidly escalating costs in both salaries and infrastructure and inadequate talent pools below the tier 1 and 2 institutions. At the Company level, firms are begin to feel the penalties of poor differentiation and lack of focus (trying to be all things to all people); and an over-emphasis on high volumes and price competition. Suddenly, the industry seems to have fallen off its pedestal; You are facing your very own Hiranyakashyap. It's interesting to see how Vishnu dealt with him. How do you destroy someone who can't be killed by man or beast, inside or outside, by day or night etc etc. The demon pretty much had all bases covered. So Vishnu took on the Narasimha avatar to bypass the boon. Narasimha was a hybrid creature, half man half lion, and therefore neither man nor beast. He killed Hiranyakashyap at twilight, which is neither day nor night. He killed him in the courtyard, which is neither inside a house nor outside it. And he killed the demon by placing him across his knee and tearing him apart, thus circumventing the terms of the boon that he could not be killed either on the ground or in the sky. Now that's what I call an innovative algorithm!
So what are the lessons for the IT industry in this story? Well, the first thing Vishnu did was to reinvent himself. It was not the gentle and contemplative Vishnu who fought Hiranyakashyap – it was the fearsome Narasimha avatar. Vishnu reinvented himself to suit the circumstances. The circumstances have changed drastically. Reinvent yourselves.
Do I have all the answers on the modes of re-invention?
No, obviously not, otherwise I'd be out there filing patents, although I can suggest two broad approaches.
First, why don't we design business models that challenge traditional industry approaches and then transform our organizations, people and processes to execute. If we simply keep knocking on the doors of clients with our traditional offshoring options, we'll meet the fate of hearing aid salespersons: our best customers won't hear the doobell! For example, software-on-demand and open source models changed the rules of the software game.
Can we not try to change the rules of the game this time around?
Why didn't we invent Zoom technology or Virtualisation?
Thus far, India's brand of innovation has been identified with the IT industry, but is it truly innovative. Is it really game changing? Ironically, you can now look to the old smokestack industries for inspiration. A few weeks ago, an Indian car company made a game-changing move. Maybe the Nano will ultimately not retail for a hundred thousand rupees.
Maybe it won't have great margins, or replace as many motorcycles as it would like to, but it was a game changing move; it fired a shot that was heard around the world. Can the IT world make any such claim? There was an old saying, apparently adopted by the IT industry, that the secret of success is to jump every time opportunity knocks.
And how do you know when opportunity knocks?
You don't, you just keep jumping! So when are we going to stop simply jumping every time a client seems to sneeze, and actually create products and IP that become their own opportunities?
Let's look at new areas where India may have natural advantage. I remember C.K Prahlad telling us that we didn't realize how important it was to leverage emerging innovation ecosystems in our country. He gave us the example of how, due to a fortunate coincidence, India's IT and automotive industries were situated in roughly the same geographic clusters. So why wasn't, according to Michael Porter's competitive theories, a world beating automotive telematics industry taking shape here.
Why aren't IT companies using the massive potential of India's soft power, the film and TV business to exploit technological dominance of what Telco's call the 'last mile' but is actually the 'first mile' in the brave new interactive world? Secondly, why don't we try to focus on a vertical industry (e.g., telecom) or horizontal domain (e.g., supply chain management) selecting the key dimensions of competitive differentiation – product vs. service, breadth vs. depth, speed of delivery, customer service responsiveness, fixed or outcome-based pricing, proprietary technology or intellectual property, and so on. And let's be prepared to make hard decisions along the way – change people who don't fit, walk away from businesses that doesn't fit. It's essential, while attempting this, however, to recognize that focus, differentiation and brand building require time and investment.
Selling value or doing business differently than the norm tends to elongate sales cycles, which tends to put pressure on cash flow and we need to resist the temptation to broaden our offerings or slash prices just to win the business and keep people busy. Along with re-invention, during the course of reinventing himself, Vishnu figured out the loopholes in the boon, and regrouped his physical and mental aspects to take advantage of these loopholes. That's something the IT industry can do as well.
Its often been pointed out that in the Chinese word for crisis is also the Chinese word for opportunity I love that mindset. I truly believe that the adverse rate of the dollar can be viewed as the glass half empty or the glass half full. Sure it affects margins. But it's also a chance to take advantage of the loophole and buy yourselves what you don't have, so that you can regroup your structure to meet the challenge.
To me the fact that our currency is more valuable and our price earnings ratios are still higher than average, means that we can acquire the front-ends and the large IT businesses that we never thought we could before. And the bigger the better. If people are egging us on to leapfrog, then they should also cheer as you bid for companies that seem bigger fish than you. It's happening all the time today in the manufacturing sector—Tata Corus being the stellar example—and we at Mahindra, while starting from scratch, have inorganically compiled together a portfolio of acquisitions that make us the fourth largest steel forging company in the world today. This is not without historical precedent. If you look at Japan and South Korea, both of them went through a phase of enduring the worlds' skepticism, then painstakingly building strong and competent domestic businesses, and then on the back of global liquidity support and strong price earnings ratios, compressing time by acquiring global firms and their customer credibility. In effect, by acquiring the strengths and skill sets you need, you will regroup your profile and create a new entity, which can vanquish your challenges as effectively as Vishnu vanquished Hiranyakashyap.
And finally, while reinventing yourselves, you will have to bring in some of the aspects of the third element of the Trimurti – that of Shiva the destroyer. Destroy for example the premise that cost arbitrage is the way to go. Recognize that the low cost, high volume offshore outsourcing battle has already been fought and won. Often, when strategic frames grow rigid, companies, like countries, tend to keep fighting the LAST war. If you are not already on the winners list, you need to think of other ways to compete on value and differentiation, rather than price and scale. Destroy the premise that success comes only from size, and desist from comparisons with other Indian companies. There are still many IT companies in India who define success as "we want to be one of the top ten Indian IT companies". Why not, for example, "we want to be the world's #1 banking back office solutions provider"? And lastly, perhaps the time has come to destroy the notion that the world may be your oyster but India is not. There is a huge domestic market in middle class and corporate India that has not been plumbed. Even selling to the bottom of the pyramid is profitable today. But it needs a creative destruction of the current mindset and a re-think on many of the assumptions we hold dear.
So, in conclusion, perhaps there really isn't that much distance between avatars in the mythological sense and avatars in the technology sense. Perhaps they are both symbolic expressions of the same reality. In their different ways, they both underline the same message – that it is necessary in any situation to reinvent, regroup and re-think our way out of whatever challenges confront us.
I'd like to close with one of my favourite quotes—such a favourite, that I can't even remember where I first read it: My father thought the world would be same; My children, however, wake up EVERY day thinking the world will be different. Let's begin emulating our children. Time to wake up and make the world different.
saturday night special
An undisputed classic well known to most smokers, the special is easy to roll and tolerates clumsy fingers. Everyone has a favorite way of rolling the special - This is just one of them.
| Stick two papers together with the gum strips forming a straight line. They should over-lap by about a fifth of their length. |
| Stick a third paper to the back of the first two, centering it in the middle of the number. |
| Add the mix and the roach, the paper shape suits a slender cone or straight joint. |
