My First Video - Gather.com

Posted: 23 May 2010 06:01 AM PDT

My First Video.

Where is my video missing? Over the years, you might have seen millions of videos. But nothing comes close to my video. My video will not run on your LCD monitor but inside your head!

Four years of silent suffering. Four years ago, I was a sale cum service tech. selling office automation (Panasonic) and white goods products. I never got satisfaction as service technician. I was doing what I was taught. At the customer care division, I was doing my best. Meeting and mating comes naturally to all the Aquarians. We love animals (customers)  Life was monotonous and I hate it.

After finished writing all my fictions, I wanted my friends to type my fiction on their computer because I could not afford to spent money at the browsing center. Ever though they all had computer none of them had time for me. For three months, I just survived one loaf of bread, few cups of coffee and cigarettes. With vengeance, I finished typing all my fictions at the browsing center.  However, I was not happy. I knew my fiction needs proof reading, editing and polishing.

I had send request letter to three my blog friends (foreigners, they are all writers too) whether they can help me to polish or would like to co-author my fictions. I wrote to them how we can set the story across the Atlantic or even in U.S. I even explained how to set the story abroad. I had also wrote three of the Indian writers same letter. All of them asked me to send my fiction. I asked them to write their terms and conditions. But after receiving my fiction none of them replied back to me. I do not think that is the civilized way of responding to request. I think civilized way of responding is to write or speak our mind.

The I joined here as lodge manager. In the lunch break, I go to browsing center and little by little, I had done proof reading, editing and polishing.

Not all the publishers rejected my fiction Eternal Love. Most of them send me estimate ranging from 1000 USD to 6000 USD! I have nothing against those who send me estimate for publishing my fiction. We all know that publishing industry is not a charity organization. Few of them went on to explain how much work and cost involved in making one single book. I like their honesty. And we writer expect them to publish at free of cost.  One thing was very clear. Telent means BA double S. I need money to sell my creative idea. Every thing was beyond my reach.

Four years of salient suffering (It took toll on my health). So much pent-up feelings and

Frustration. At times, you felt like kicking someone's Ass. Baby, don't ever do that to me! Like my little daughter, my fictions became history (past).

 I hate being photographed or  video graphed. Here is my video for you! Ply it inside your head. This is how it will appear on screen.

 Against the bright out door light, you will see my shadow image seated on a chair. On my left hand, you will find my trademark. Cigarette.

Medium shot.  You will see my right hand with 'V' sign.

Dialog. "This one is for few of my well wishers and anonymous readers of my blog "

I switch my cigarette. Now you see my left hand with 'V' sign. As I turn my palm towards my face, you will find my left index finger folded and my left middle finger sticking out.

Dialog "This one is for you Baby! Never in my life had I met such a funny girl like you" that was a subtle message for someone very special.  Repeatedly you will find my middle finger.

Dialog "This one is for all my Big F friends who turned out to be just another hole"

As I continue my dialog, you will find the close-up of my left middle finger. "This one is for my wife, who walked away with my only little daughter. …This one is for my wife's family, who thought as a husband I am incompetent. …This one is for my own family! They thought I was mad enough to give-up job to write fiction. …. This one is for all those publisher and movie producers who rejected my fiction Eternal Love. I would not say they all had it up ………………….. I would rather say they fail to seize the business opportunity in my fiction. "

 I neither forget nor forgive. This is my way of repaying with same coin.

 Now can you name or even guess the title of my video? I am not disclosing the title now. I want to keep it as secrete. Then one day I shoot, edit and put it on my blog you will be able to see the title of "My First Video".

This idea and dialog is four years old. I could not publish it then. After that only  all my  friends whom I trusted acted funny,  publishers  who rejected my fictions and movie producer   failed to see business opportunity in my fiction I was sure one day I will present my video. It took me four years to say what I always wanted to say.

You readers are all having a pre-conceived opinion about me. Now you are confused. Who is real Jivan? Sorry, folks you need to personally get to know about me. Even I myself do not know who Jivan is. I think he is Jr. Confucius.

Jr. Confucius.

Jivan.

Here I am sending negative vibes. Saying what is on my mind is more important than sending positive vibes. I will write other things at the appropriate time.

Richard Blumenthal Vietnam Service Controversy ... - Chicago Tribune

Posted: 20 May 2010 09:46 AM PDT

A 2008 video clip of Attorney General Richard Blumenthal asserting that he served in Vietnam is perhaps the most damning evidence of what he says were his occasional misstatements about his military record.

But in a longer clip from the same event, Blumenthal said that he "served in the military during the Vietnam era,'' without claiming that he fought in Southeast Asia. The Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate served in the Marine Corps Reserve and remained in the U.S. during the war.

The longer version of the video was widely circulated by the Blumenthal campaign, which is clearly relishing this glimmer of positive news after two days of intense criticism. To Blumenthal and his supporters, the clip bolsters his explanation that the distortion was an inadvertent error, not a deliberate attempt to embellish.

His critics aren't so sure.

"Richard Blumenthal stood in front of 20 news cameras ... and admitted mischaracterizing his record,'' said Jim Barnett, campaign manager for Rob Simmons, one of Blumenthal's Republican rivals in the Senate race. "This additional footage changes nothing. All Vietnam veterans are simultaneously Vietnam-era veterans, and his accurate comment on when he served does nothing to amend his false comment on where he served.''

Ed Patru, a spokesman for Linda McMahon, another Republican candidate, said the statement in the longer clip was "at best ambiguous."

"Dick Blumenthal has lost his credibility because he clearly made demonstrably false statements,'' Patru said in an e-mail. "But just because he made statements that were not demonstrably false doesn't mean he's been truthful and accurate and complete. That is the essence of what it means to mislead. Blumenthal has a pattern of routinely speaking in an ambiguous and vague way."

Blumenthal's bad week began on Monday, when The New York Times reported that he had lied about his military service on several occasions. The story was accompanied by the shorter version of the video.

On Wednesday night, McMahon confirmed that her campaign had provided "research" for The Times' story.

"We did," McMahon said. "We've had some role with our research, yes." She did not elaborate.

When asked Wednesday afternoon whether The Times intended to post the full video on its website, spokeswoman Diane C. McNulty said in an e-mail that it is the paper's policy not to discuss "what will or will not be published in future editions of The New York Times."

Rich Hanley, a journalism professor at Quinnipiac University, said that the matter raises questions about the relationship between journalism and political campaigns. "I'm not defending Blumenthal for his fictions, but I'm questioning the reporting of The Times,'' he said. "The Times is now clearly part of this story and they need to come clean ... they played perfectly into the hands of a political operative."

McNulty said The Times stands by its report.

"The New York Times in its reporting uncovered Mr. Blumenthal's long and well established pattern of misleading his constituents about his Vietnam War service, which he acknowledged in an interview with The Times. Mr. Blumenthal needs to be candid with his constituents about whether he went to Vietnam or not, since his official military records clearly indicate he did not,'' McNulty said in an e-mail. "The video doesn't change our story. Saying that he served 'during Vietnam' doesn't negate his later statement. It doesn't indicate one way or the other whether he went to Vietnam."

As for the impact of the revelations on Blumenthal's political future, Douglas Foyle, a professor of government at Wesleyan University in Middletown and a Democrat, predicted that the entire controversy would fade — as long as there aren't additional allegations leveled against Blumenthal.

"If you start getting this drip, drip, drip, of other things, he's going to be in trouble,'' Foyle said. "Then it starts to look more like a character issue.''

Fox 61 reporter Laurie Perez contributed to this story.
