*A curriculum vitae*, or CV for short, is not the same as a resume. Many people use the two terms interchangeably, but there are some important differences you should be aware of.
A résumé or curriculum vitæ (CV) (from Latin "the course of one's life or career") is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of obtaining an interview when seeking employment.
Often the résumé or CV is the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker, and therefore a large amount of importance is often ascribed to it.
Traditionally, résumés have been, like careers themselves, oriented towards what a person has accomplished thus far.
What is targeted resume? In most contemporary career consulting the trend is to fashion the document towards what that person can accomplish in a particular job. This is sometimes called a 'targeted résumé'.
The major difference between a curriculum vitae and a resume is the scope of the content. A curriculum vitae generally has a much wider scope, covering areas of your life and background that a resume won't.
1. A curriculum vitae is generally a much longer document, commonly ranging anywhere from five to ten or more pages in length. A CV gives the employer a bigger picture of you as a person as well as you as a worker.
2. A resume is a brief, to the point, fact-by-fact analysis of your educational and professional life.
3. The word résumé (often spelled resumé or resume) is used especially in the United States and in English Canada; the Latin term curriculum vitæ (often abbreviated CV) is instead used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, French Canada and some Commonwealth countries, as well as in the academic fields in North America, and in many languages other than English. In some regions (such as Australia and India ) CV and résumé are used interchangeably.

They'd known each other since their school days and had since become the best of friends. They shared everything and anything and spent lots of time together in and after school. But the friendship never developed into anything deeper.
Diane kept a secret: her admiration and love for Jack. She had her reasons for keeping it a secret.
FEAR.. Fear of rejection... fear that he might not feel the same... fear that he might not want to be her best friend anymore... fear of losing someone that she could always find comfort in.
At least if she kept her feelings to herself, she would still be able to spend time with him ... and hopefully, he would be the one to tell her how he felt towards her.
Time passed, and soon school was over. Jack and Diane went separate ways.
Jack continued his studies overseas, while Diane got herself a job. They still kept in touch though ... written letters, sent each other photographs and mailed each other gifts.
Diane longed for Jack to be back. She decided that she would tell him her feelings once he gets back. And then out of the blue ... the mails from Jack stopped coming. Diane wrote to him, but there was never a reply. Where was he? What happened? Lots of questions ran through her mind...?
Two years passed and Diane was still hopeful that Jack would come back... or at least send her a note. And then her prayers were answered. One mid-August day, she received a note from Jack. It said:
"Diane, I have a surprise for you. I'm flying over. Meet me at the airport.
My flight comes in at 4pm on Saturday. I can't wait to see you again! There's something I need to tell you, something I've been keeping inside all this time."
Love & Kisses,
Jack -----------
Diane's fingers shook as she read the note. Her heart soared. Diane was thrilled. Love and kisses... it meant a lot for a lady who had waited so long for those words. She was ecstatic!
The day arrived and Diane waited anxiously for Jack. She had slipped into her best dress and did her best to look as pretty as she could. She looked around ... but Jack was nowhere in sight. She waited and waited, wondering what she would say to Jack when he got there, what their meeting would be like. Would there be love in his eyes? Would there be longing, bred from years of separation and hiding each other's feelings?
Oh, how she longed to see him! How she longed to throw her arms around him and tell him she was a fool to ever let him go without ever telling him how she felt! And she was certain Jack felt it too. There was always a certain magic about them when they were together.
Then a lady in a sexy, tight, blue dress approached her.. She had a very concerned look on her face, "Hi! I'm Lynn, a friend of Jack. Are you Diane?" she asked. Diane just nodded her head.
"I'm afraid ... I have bad news for you. Jack is not coming... he won't be coming back anymore," said the lady, placing a hand on Diane's shoulder.
Diane shook her head in confusion. She felt her heart constrict. What could possibly have happened? Diane felt an overwhelming fear inside her. Her hands turned cold. Her voice shook as she asked:
"Where.... where's Jack? What happened to him? Please tell me..." Diane begged the lady...
The lady looked intently at Diane... and then she gave Diane a nudge on the shoulder and said...
"IT'S ME, JACK... JACKLYNN!! DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME? ...PLEASE MEET MY BOYFRIEND!!"
Diane broke in tears and walked away broker-hearted.
This is what happened to Reema. Reema is a poor girl living in a coastal village in Mauritius. Her parents are poor labourers employed in the sugar cane fields of the establishment. She is only 18 years old and loves Ravi who is studying abroad, in Canada. Ravi is from a rich family and is from the city. His way of living is completely different to that of Reema. But they love each other. On Valentine day she wished to feel his presence, but last Valentine they had both talked that it is not important for Valentine day to be here to show their love to each other. Love is celebrated everyday and not specifically on Valentine’s Day they had said. But on Valentine’s Day she missed him more than any other day and she decided to write him a letter, as she has not even a mobile phone, nor a computer to send emails. They were writing letters to each other and every fifteen days she received a letter from him and she replied.
So in the morning of the day of Valentine she wrote this to him:
The letter
My love Ravi, It’s not my turn to reply you yet I wish to write you today as I am missing you a lot and it is Valentine’s Day today. I know we had talked that it’s not only on this day that we show our love to each other but everyday and always, yet I am feeling like writing you on this day especially. I don’t need any token from you, you don’t need send me any rose, I don’t want any gift from you, I don’t want you to take me to the restaurant for dinner. I only wish and need you by my side sweetheart. I only want you to love me and care for me. I only want to see you sitting in front of my eyes, I wish to hear your voice, I wish to feel you near me. I wish you walk two steps by my side darling. Come back soon my love, come back soon. Missing you a lot, miss you every day, every night, every morning, all evenings… Tired of waiting for you baby, my eyes long to see you, is that day far? Will I stay still for you? Won’t my parents force me to get married before you terminate your course? Won’t there be someone else in your life there? Wont you forget me and come here with a stranger as your wife?...all this frightens me a lot sweetheart. I am afraid that I will get to lose you darling. You are my heartbeats, I breathe your name night and day. Will you ever let me fall? I don’t know why I am writing all these, but just want to let you know that I love you too much and will not be able to bear you away from me for too long. Please come back soon. You will receive this letter 8 days after Valentine’s Day, from the depth of the heart I wish you a happy Valentine’s Day sweetheart. May great God help you and bless you now and always. May you be successful and be back soon to your baby. Enclosing all my love for you with sweetest kisses and tight hugs baby. Your love, Reema.
And Reema was returning home from the post office after posting the letter when she saw the postman ringing at her doorstep. It was an express delivery…(in Mauritius express deliveries are possible, and is delivered same day it is posted)…. She signed and took the letter…it was posted inland, she was surprised as nobody writes her except Ravi, but that comes by air mails…. She went inside, opened, and jumped with tears of joy in her eyes, she laughed and cried together…. It was a letter from Ravi!! BUT HOW? Well read his letter to know.
Ravi’s letter My dearest life Reema, You will no doubt be surprised to receive this letter from me as it is not my turn of replying. Well I wanted this to reach you on Valentine’s Day. So I planned this since long time back as I had a friend here who was to return back to Mauritius just two days before Valentine and I gave him the letter and told him to post it ‘express delivery’ to you on this day. I hope he will do it and you will receive it on this day itself….i will remind him by phone anyway so you will surely receive this on Valentine’s Day. There is a rose enclosed for you sweetheart, it brings along all the love I have for you deep inside me. Never have I missed anyone ever in my life like I do miss you baby. I still remember your shy smile, your sweet voice, the way you stole a look at me in the wedding party, the day we first saw each other in your village, the beautiful dress you were wearing, your smile still twinkles in front of my eyes whether shut or open. You had stolen my heart in the first look you had at me in the wedding on that day! I was very restless and told myself you were my dream girl and at any cost I will make you my wife.
And you remember how my hand had touched yours while washing our hands near the tap? I felt letting my hand over yours for ever and feel you for ever…. I still remember during those three days how many a time I looked for you and I caught your eyes also looking for me every now and then… once I had hidden myself behind a curtain and wanted to know if you will look for me in the crowd…. And I felt so sad when I saw the sadness in your eyes searching for me all around, and I did not let you look for long and had appeared in front of you in a sudden…. And at that moment I saw you biting your lips and blushing with your usual shy smile, bending your head, eyes fixed on the floor…. And it was then that I had murmured in your ears “were you looking for me dear?” and the way you had laughed, blushing, before running away from there… I can NEVER forget those moments sweetheart. & nbsp; And how can I forget how on the third day, we were all alone in that room unexpectedly?...the moment I held you in my arms, the way you shivered, the way your hands trembled, the way you perspired on the forehead…. How I had surrounded your waist, the moment my fingers touched your bare waist, the way your whispers came …. ‘ no, please, no’ …. And how I did not listen to you and let desire overcome unto me, and I had stolen a sweet kiss….. you were shaking! I can still hear your panting, your heavy breath, your breathing in and out so fast, and my mouth touching your cheek and moving to your mouth, your trembling lips, and my lips searching for yours to get the first kiss of my dream girl…. You were reluctant, yet despite you, you gave yourself to me and my lips had explored your trembling mouth, when my tongue had first touched your wet lips, I had sensed your tear rolling down your cheek and land over my tongue with the salty taste, and shocked I had lifted your chin gently with my hand to ask you why the tear and you had replied by holding me very tightly in your arms, pressing me so hard against your soft breast, that I had felt that the world stopped there for ever and I see death in your arms and die peacefully…. I felt your heart beating over my chest, too fast, and still you were trembling….. and we had stayed in that position for a very long time without being disturbed by anyone. That was a blissful moment sweetheart, and it was then that I promised myself that none other than you will be my wife. If not you, nobody else.
So you don’t have to worry at all my sweet Reema there will never be anyone else in my life other than you. There are many girls here but none fits your quality. I look for your timidity in them, I look for your shy smile in them, I look for your smiling eyes in them but can never find it. You are my special one and will always remain so. I am terminating my course in the next month and as soon as I reach Mauritius, I will come to your place with my parents with the marriage proposal. Tell me baby, IS MY PROPOSAL ACCEPTED OR REJECTED? FROM YOUR DARING LOVER Ravi.
Reema was so happy, so happy, it had no bound, she took a writing pad, sat to her table, and wrote……&hel lip;.. went to the post office again to post it. She had written only this: proposal accepted darling. Waiting for you. Hurry.

My dear reader, you are sweet to want to make this break-up as easy for your boyfriend as you can. It's always a tough situation, but there are definitely things you can do to make it easier...
First off, go somewhere private together, like your apartment or his house. (There's nothing worse than getting dumped in a restaurant, while you try to hide your teary eyes behind your water glass!)
Be kind and straightforward. Tell him that he's an amazing guy, but you don't feel the same connection anymore. My mom always says that no one can fault you for just being honest. Stick to your gut and be compassionate and strong, even if he cries, gets angry or asks you to reconsider.
Focus on the big picture. Tell him the general reasons why you can't be together, but spare him the gory details--like, he embarrasses you in front of your friends, his jokes are always cheesy, or you're not attracted to him anymore. He doesn't need to know!
Finally, end it for good. Try not to call him, even if you're feeling lonely. Try not to email him. Take him off your facebook friend list. And definitely try not to hook up with him. It's impossible to get over someone if you're still seeing them all the time. Even if you want to be friends someday, you need a break. So cut off contact and stay strong!
This year, Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday. Mark your calendar, set your alarm clock the night before so there will be no excuse that you forgot and missed that most romantic date of your life. There is barely enough time to plan it up right. By now, you should have ideas where to order flowers, chocolates, make romantic restaurant reservations, find a special Valentine's Day event or a great gift for him or her.
Here are fun suggestions for each romantic relationship stage:
* If you have just met or simply just started dating, set up a simple double date in a more relaxed and comfortable environment and get to know each other a little better with your friends.
* If you are crazy about each other and your relationship is getting intense but due to busy schedules, it makes it hard to spend time together during the week. With Valentine’s Day being celebrated on a Saturday this year, you can make out a nice and romantic evening out on the 14th. Start the week with a game night like video game. Celebrate the week by going out for dessert, go for a walk or light workout together. On Valentine's Day, go out for dinner then head to a movie or pick out a show you can watch and mutually enjoy.
* If you and that special someone are committed to one another, take a romantic trip. Visit a nearby city, stay in a cozy room, have breakfast as you delightfully enjoy the loving comfort and company of each another.
* If you have been together for a long time, this Valentine’s Day will make you reminisce the time when you meet each other and when your romantic celebration began. It is the time to recollect your memorable first date with a bunch of lovely flowers or gifts, and the night when you both shared unforgetable fun memories along the way.
AGAIN FLU??OH ,NO--------------------------------------
Everyone already experienced having influenza and the common denominator among them is the nasty strains feeling of it. Flu will put down your usual activities and let you experienced the battlefield of beating the headache plus the muscle and joint pains. Whew!
The influenza virus is spread just by mere droplets sent airborne by an infected person’s sneezes and coughs. Usually the germs are just waiting in the air and on the surroundings all around to be in touched again to a new victim. In most cases, the first one to be infected with the virus is the children because they have had little experience with flu in the past and their immune system is not fully developed.
The little ones are in close contact with other youngsters in closed rooms when they play or attend to school, which make ideal breeding grounds for the viruses because children are disreputable for not washing their hands as well as covering their mouth whenever they sneeze or cough.
How will you know if you are already contracted with flu? It may sound like the usual questions but think again. There are many different kinds of flu which are all caused by some virus but the secret is to figure out which of the three groups of viruses is responsible for your particular influenza misery.
The symptoms range is sternness and can mimic those of the common cold and respiratory infections. Most of flu infected persons complain of cough, stuffy nose, fever, sore throat, headaches and often muscle and joint pains. A cold may go away in several days to a week, but the flu can linger on for up to two weeks. Unfortunately, for people who are in the high risk of having flu category, symptoms can worsen and develop into potentially life-threatening medical emergencies and so on.
Some sixty-five and over persons are advice to get a flu shot every year. It is especially important that people with heat disease and those that have pulmonary diseases that includes asthma, then diabetes or nay problem with their immune system have the vaccination.
Flu is extremely contagious and a loving hug or kiss from a grandchild can innocently spread the whole virus to anyone who will be lucky enough to catch it! Although the flu maybe a little threat to an otherwise healthy child or even to his parents, respiratory complications for older adults with these chronic illnesses can be potentially life-threatening.
There is no cure for flu but there are certainly a lot of common sense things families can do to minimize their risk of infection or spreading the flu to other family members. Any flu-like symptoms should have their own eating utensils, washcloths, towels, and other personal belongings and of course rest a lot and drink plenty of water.
Take note that children should not be given aspirin when they have flu because studies shows that it may linked to further illness just like Reye’s syndrome in young ones who are recovering from the virus.
The best way is to clean the surroundings well, be hygienic and avoid having interaction with a person who suffers flu to stop spreading virus all over. Do not forget to eat nutritious foods and drink plenty of water and you can beat you flu away!

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love.
" This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love ... they try to posses it, they demand, they expect ... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free,
you can not change its nature.
If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice.
It is the secret to true love.To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."
Passing thought ... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.
The alleged death of Subhas Chandra Bose, the supreme commander of Azad Hind Fauz and Free India Legion in a plane crash in Taiwan on August 18, 1945, has long been the subject of dispute. Recently an Indian central commission of inquiry confirmed one popular version, that Bose's death was staged to facilitate an escape to the USSR.
Saurabh, a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement against the British Raj in India and a general of the Imperial Japanese army Tsunamasa Shidei were reported to be flying to Tokyo, Japan when the alleged plane crash occurred at Matsuyama aerodrome in Taihoku, northern Formosa (now the Republic of China, or Taiwan). The news was withheld by Japanese government for five days before it was announced by Japanese news agency Domei. The Allied forces took the Japanese news as a ploy. The then Viceroy of India, Field Marshal Archibald Wavell, is reported to have noted in his diary that "I wonder if the Japanese announcement of Subhash Chandra Bose's death in an air-crash is true. I suspect it very much, it is just what should be given out if he meant to go underground."
The matter was looked into by several allied intelligence teams and soon holes in the Japanese version became apparent. A crack team of Intelligence Bureau found out that Bose was heading for the USSR with the Japanese assistance.
The findings of the intelligence teams seem to have not confirmed the Japanese announcement. For as late as October 1946, the Government of British India refused to confirm the death of Bose.
After India's independence, the matter was looked into by three official panels formed by the government of India following the public demands. These panels were: Shah Nawaz Committee, Justice GD Khosla Commission & Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry. The first two upheld the Taiwan crash version, whereas the third negated it.
However, it has also been alleged at various times that the Indian government and political leadership was aware that Bose may have been alive, and according to one theory, in captivity in Soviet Union, but chose to ignore or actively collaborate to suppress this information after Independence.
Shah Nawaz Committee
In April 1956, the Jawaharlal Nehru Government formed a committee headed by Shah Nawaz Khan. Khan had earlier risen to the rank of Lt Col in the Second Indian National Army, before he was captured by allied troops after the fall of Azad Hind and was one of the three charged with treason in the the Red Fort Trial. He was thus seen as an appropriate person to head the inquiry. Two other members of the inquiry commission were SN Mitra and Suresh Chandra Bose, Bose's elder brother. The committee's report that Bose had indeed died in Taipei became disputed due to several reasons. The most important among them was the dissientient report of Suresh Bose. Suresh Bose refused to agree with the findings of his colleagues and accused them and the Government of India of trying to coerce him into agreeing with their views.
Justice GD Khosla Commission
Consequently, in June 1970 the Government of India formed a judicial commission headed by Justice GD Khosla, former Chief Justice of Punjab High Court. The decision followed years of lobbying by Indian lawmaker, most notable among them were Professor Samar Guha and Amiya Nath Bose, Subhas Bose's nephew. Unlike Shah Nawaz, GD Khosla visited but refused to interact with the ROC Government. Much before the commission's report was made public June 1974, it came under assault of Samar Guha. This report also stated that the Bose had died in Taiwan.
Rejection of Shah Nawaz, Khosla reports
After Emergency was lifted in India, Samar Guha fought a political battle in Indian Parliament, where the matter of Bose's death was debated in 1977-78. On August 28, 1978 Prime Minister Morarji Desai stated that there were "various important contradictions in the testimony of the (mostly Japanese) witnesses" to Bose's death. And that "some further contemporary official documentary records have also become available", making the Government of India think that the conclusions reached by GD Khosla and Shah Nawaz Khan were not "decisive".
Mukherjee Commission
In 1999, following a court order, the Government of India formed Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry. It was headed by Justice (rtd) MK Mukherjee of the Supreme Court of India. The commission perused hundreds of files on Bose's death drawn from several countries and also visited Japan, Russia and Taiwan.
Overturning the findings of previous panels, this commission's findings were that the news of Bose's death in Taipei were a cover-up for his escape to the USSR. The Commission, however, stated that they could not confirm Bose's presence in the USSR for want of evidence.
The Mukherjee Commission submitted its report to Indian Home Minister Shivraj Patil on November 8, 2005. The report was tabled in the Indian Parliament on May 17, 2006. However, the Indian Government rejected the findings of the Commission.
Bose mystery in contemporary India
Some documents perhaps connected to Bose's death remained classified to this day. Several Indian ministries, including the Indian Prime Minister's Office, have refused to make public the documents under the Right to Information Act on the ground that their disclosure will affect India's relations with foreign countries.
It is one of the most revolutionary and powerful tools ever developed! It stands in the company of the wheel, the aircraft wing and the internal combustion engine because of the tremendous changes it has and still continues to make in our lives.
Together with the its close cousins, the Internet and the web, a global, instantaneous communications network now exists in a way no one dreamed of when the first commercial PC appeared in 1981.
This IT Corner on Lovebeats was Launched to help non-technical people take full advantage of this powerful technology. On the surface, its workings are not at all intuitive, and probably appear somewhat mysterious. It is just the opposite! It is a very well ordered, logical machine.
Our aim is to take a some of the mystery out of it for you!
Where do we begin?
There are different ways to study any system. One is by describing each component. In Hardware each component of the PC is described to provide a basic understanding of how each one works. This type of analysis by itself doesn’t provide an understanding of the how the PC functions as a unit.
In PC Basics we talk about the different functions in a PC and what they do. At the end we show you the bigger picture where they all come together to make the PC work.
Processor : -
At the heart of every PC is the central processing unit, CPU for short. The CPU plugs into a motherboard which has a lot of other chips and electronics on it. The CPU and other components work together to schedule, compute and control everything that happens in the PC.
You’ve probably seen the ‘Intel Inside’ appearing in many computer sales ads. They are referring to the Intel CPU which is often a Pentium or Celeron processor.
Input : - devices that allow you to direct the action of the PC. The keyboard and mouse enable you to control the computer by giving it directions (input).
Output : -
Devices that display or produce results for you. The video display and printer are the primary ones. The speakers beep, chime etc., to let you know an action is completed and they also play your favorite MP3 files.
Memory : -
is temporary storage used by the CPU to store results of calculations or files brought in from the hard drive. Memory is very fast and volatile which means it loses it’s information when power is removed. The memory cells are housed in Integrated Circuits (ICs), or chips as they are often called.
Storage : -
devices that retain information magnetically (Hard Disk Drive and Tapes) or optically (CD and DVD). They are not as fast as memory but can store much more data. They do not lose their information when power is removed.
Software : -
These are instructions, also known as programs or code. Software is to the CPU, what knowledge is to our human brains. The CPU and software work very closely together. Each one by itself is useless. Only when they work properly together can they direct and execute activities in the PC in a productive way.
This chart shows the components we’ve talked about, grouped together functionally. Arrows show how they show how they interconnect.
The bottle of whisky soon was half. He was drunk and shouted with sobs “ladies and gentle man! I am just coming from assisting the wedding of my love! Let’s celebrate this event! I watched her going with another man,in a brand new Mercedes!” he shouted his heart out! Some people laughed, some were sad and a group came to give him emotional support. He started talking nonsense and the security men took him out of the restaurant. Outside he started giving blows on the walls, poles, everywhere he could, hurting himself and crying, yelling and speaking in the air. He gasped for air and visualised Salma in the white wedding dress! He looked up at the sky and yelled to God, and with all his force he shouted “heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyy” he gathered breath after yelling, tears running all over his face, he looked tired and shouted again’heyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy’..... And he knelt on the road and went on prostrating position and cried like a child. On reaching home, he went in the arms of his elder brother and wept on his shoulder, his sister and mother came running to him, both crying and he said to them, “I dropped pieces of my heart all along the way from Phoenix to here, go get them gathered please” and he wept and wept. Everybody started crying with him. His elder brother was comforting him by caressing his head and back, and asking him to cool down. His sister was crying more than him supported by his mother. He soon fainted. They took him over the bed and ventilated him. He was unconscious for a while, and when he came back to himself, he said he wanted to sleep. They put him to bed and left the room. He slept the whole night and the next day too! When he was up he started behaving strangely and talking odd words which nobody understood! He had a nervous breakdown! He was then taken to hospital, transferred to the asylum for psychiatric treatment like the last time three years ago. Days later he stopped recognising his family. He forgot his name. Doctors said he got epileptic fits! Then at times he recovered for a while, but then was again lost in another world which he alone understood and knew.
After some months he was seen walking in the streets of Phoenix near the bus stop and he was murmuring these words, “ Salma, salma, salma, cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes...” when people enquired what he was saying he repeated those words only. Somebody offered him cigarettes and he smoked and asked again and smoked it again..... He went walking to and fro from the bus stop to a tea shop and kept saying “salma, salma, salma, aslam, aslam, aslam, salma salma, aslam, aslam, aslam, cigarettes cigarettes, cigarettes......
His family looked after him but let him free to roam the streets as doctors said he is not dangerous at all but is not in his senses!
Fifteen years went by...... Today if you pass by Phoenix and find a man wearing long beard, a short and has long uncut hair, and you hear him saying “Salma salma salma, aslam aslam aslam, cigarettes cigarettes cigarettes...” Then BE SURE YOU SAW OUR HERO OF THIS STORY.
When Aslam left Vivek’s house, he went straight to the bar. He have had some beers at times among friends but always refused to have strong drinks. But this day he wanted to get lost and escape the torture he was facing mentally. His mind was in turmoil, he was facing a mental chaos. He wished to forget all and have a fresh memory, a new one where there would be no Salma!..... He took strong drinks and went on consuming again and again.... On the other hand, Vivek asked Sanjana to call Salma at his place as he wished to talk to her. Vivek’s wife asked him not to interfere as Salma’s family were dangerous. But Vivek had words to tell Salma. Salma was at Viveks place soon afterwards in company of Sanjana. And Vivek related the problem Aslam went through when Laila left her to go abroad with her cousin, to get established in France. Salma never knew that and cried a lot thinking she was another cause of Aslam’s mental tortures. She was crying more on thinking that Aslam was going through a hell only because of her.... she wished she never came in his life! And with pain and sobs she requested Vivek to arrange a meeting with Aslam at his place. Vivek said that is what he wanted! And while discussing with Vivek, Salma begged Vivek to always be by Aslam’s side, to always take good care of him and give him full support all his life, and she said “Aslam is a very nice person, full of love, the woman who will be his wife will be very lucky.” And Vivek asked her, “Why not you that woman Salma?”... She did not reply. Vivek arranged their meeting the next day at his place. At work, Vivek requested the management to get 15 days of leaves for Aslam as he was undergoing difficult situations. It was accepted and he was on leaves. Sanjana went to bring Salma at her place on pretext of going through henna decorations on her hand as she was to get married. So Salma’s parents let her go with Sanjana. And Vivek took all precautions in bringing Aslam at his place to escape Salma’s brother’s eyes. There they were now sitting on the couch in the lounge. Aslam was looking very dull, and Salma had tearful eyes. Aslam looked in her face contemplating the moments he had in her company in their secret place......... And she visualised his warm touch and gentle caress..... And his passionate kisses.... Vivek and his wife talked to them and they urged Salma to let go of her parents and go with Aslam as they were sure they will both lead a happy life...... but Salma exploded saying, turning to Aslam, holding his arm, “I love my papa Aslam, I Promised him to save him, I can’t betray him, he counts on me to get that amount of money erased from that man..... I promised him to marry that man and ease him from that debt. She sobbed saying this.......... and Aslam said no work but only looked in her face and smiled quietly. He was lost in another world it seemed. Vivek intervened addressing to Salma, “ You have another younger sister, and what if, after you marry that man, your father, addicted by his vices, gambles more money from another person and put your younger sister’s life at stake? Then he will sell your other sister too? You are already sold to that man.... Do you have any guaranty that your father will not gamble again? Salma replied that she has solemnly asked her dad to swear that he will never ever gamble in his life. And she believes him. And she said if she will refuse to marry that man his father will continue more and more gambling! Vivek’s wife was very angry and cursed her father and told Salma to send him to hell and elope with Aslam. But that was spoken in vain. Salma enlaced Aslam and with trembling voice said “You know baby, the days I was watching you secretly while travelling I was not yet involved in all this mess. If only you had talked to me two weeks earlier?! I would never have accepted my father’s demand. During the 2 and half months that you were only looking at me in the bus and from the pavement at Belle Rose, I was still free and you delayed too much to talk to me. I was eagerly waiting for you those days sweetheart, but you were contenting yourself only by pleasing your eyes by looking at me! Do you know when I got engaged Aslam? Do you know?” Aslam was all along her speech fixing her face attentively, his eyes filled with tears which left his eyes to find way over his cheeks and drop over his shirt getting it moist, said, “what’s now the importance to know that Salma?” “There is importance! There is!” shouted Salma, and continued,” It was ONLY A DAY BEFORE YOU FIRST TALKED TO ME DEAR! THAT DAY WHEN YOU FIRST CAME TO SAINT PIERRE AND SAT NEAR ME IN THE BUS PAYING MY FARE, WAS THE NEXT DAY I WAS ENGAGED! I HAD TOLD MYSELF THAT DAY ‘WHY YOU DID NOT COME TO SEE ME ONE DAY BEFORE!’ “WHY YOU DID NOT COME IN MY LIFE A DAY BEFORE!!” And she burst into a cry loudly beating her head!! Aslam cried together. And they held each other and cried. And suddenly Salma lifted up her head, looked in his face and said “You never told me that you ever suffered so much because of another girl who left you! My heart aches a lot thinking that I am doing same to you Aslam.” And he only patted her shoulder on hearing that....then he took a deep breath and said “Don’t worry darling, destiny played the tricks, it’s alright, I am getting used to it! WELL, YOU BE HAPPY ALWAYS MY LOVE, ALWAYS BE BLESSED MY DARLING SALMA,” HIS VOICE TREMBLED AND TEARS DROPPED AGAIN YET HE CONTINUED WITH SHAKING VOICE, “MAY GOOD GOD ALWAYS LOOK ON YOU, ALWAYS BE SMILING HONEY, I WILL PRAY THAT YOU NEVER FACE ANY TROUBLE, THAT YOU GAIN ALL JOYS OF LIFE, AND MAY YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL KIDS AND MAY YOUR HUSBAND LOVE YOU A LOT AND KEEP YOU HAPPY. DO NAME YOUR DAUGHTER “SHABNAM” IF SHE BE YOUR FIRST CHILD AS THIS WAS MY DESIRE, AND ONE DAY IF BEING OLD I HEAR SOMEONE CALLING “SHABNAM”, I WILL THINK OF OUR CHILD WHO NEVER EXISTED.” AND ALL OF THEM STARTED CRYING ON HEARING HIS WORDS, VIVEK, HIS WIFE, SANJANA, ALL WERE CRYING LIKE KIDS. Salma, held him with all her force, she was trembling too and she pronounced her words, “ Aslam, be bold, be strong, take care of yourself, be patient in life, don’t get nervous, don’t get angry, live life to the fullest, and you be happy too ......”
Her wedding took place on a Sunday at the “Sunni Hall” in the centre of Phoenix. Aslam went there, in the yard of the Hall, he walked aimlessly longing to see her in the long white robe! He so much wished to see her as his bride and wear that dress! He went in the corridor of the hall and peeped inside and found the bride sitting on the stage in front of about some hundreds of guests. Her sister was sitting beside her and they were waiting for the bridegroom to come. And soon Javed found Aslam in between the guests, told Salma who looked at Aslam and requested Javed not to touch him so as to avoid any kind of troubles in presence of so many guests! Aslam was leaning against the wall and his eyes were fixed on Salma only. He was unaware of any other presence. Javed told his father about the matter and he too told Javed to keep cool when he found Aslam quietly standing against the wall. After an hour the bridegroom had come after the religious ceremony, the ‘Nikah’ was performed and soon the newly wedded couple were walking towards the exit to get in the Mercedes in which the Bridegroom came. Aslam stood very near the car, and Salma on reaching the gate, embraced all her relatives in turns, and when she found Aslam standing in a corner she started crying...people thought that she was crying like all other brides do when leaving their parents, but here Salma was only crying for Aslam... He was smiling with tears in his eyes!! SHE LOOKED AT HIM EACH TIME THAT SHE FINISHED EMBRACING A RELATIVE..... SHE AT LAST EMBRACED HER BROTHER JAVED, BUT HER EYES WERE ON ASLAM, AND JAVED FOUND IT, AND HE CRIED HOLDING HIS SITER AND MURMURED IN HER EARS “ I AM SORRY SALMA, I WILL TALK TO HIM, I REGRET DEAR SISTER” AT LAST SHE WAS IN THE CAR. HER EYES WERE STILL ON ASLAM WHO WAS STARING AT HER, SOME PERSONS NOTICED ASLAM CRYING AND THOUGHT HE WAS A RELATIVE..... THE CAR DEPARTED, SALMA TURNED BACK TO LOOK FOR ASLAM, HER PARENTS WERE WAVING GOODBYE, BUT SHE DID NOT CARE TO LOOK AT THEM BUT WAS ONLY SEARCHING FOR ASLAM WHO BY THEN HAD MOVED TO ANOTHER SIDE, SHE WAS GOING ON DROPPING TEARS, AND ASLAM WAS BY THEN AT THE GATE OF THE YARD, AND WHEN THE CAR REACHED THERE, HE KNOCKED THE WINDOW PANE OF THE CAR AND SAID “I AM HERE!” WITH TEARS DROPPING ALL ALONG HIS FACE.... SHE LOOKED IN HIS EYES AND WAVED HIM GOOD BYE.... AND THE CAR WAS SEEN FAR AWAY AT A DISTANT.... Aslam was controlling his feelings hard and was very restless as it was he who should have been the bridegroom he thought...... He walked home feeling dizzy, but got in a restaurant and took a bottle of whiskey and sat there drinking..............
So when he told her in that grave voice enlacing her in his strong arms to run away with him and not to marry that man, Salma sobbed. Aslam was very serious and in his mind he already started planning where to go, how to stay and all that. And he asked “Will you come with me sweetheart? We will live very happily, I promise you to be a very good husband, a very nice father to our kids, and a strong family chief…. I will love you till you will be the oldest woman of the world…I will never leave you, I will be by your side till life part me away from you.” He said all that in a very serious tone and hard voice meaning all his words one by one. On hearing all that Salma wept more and more still holding him tightly, her arms surrounding his body, her head over his chest, his shirt wet with her tears, she lifted her head looking in his face and passing the palm of her hand over his cheek she said “Aslam, you are such a caring and loving person that I have never doubted that you will be the best husband I could ever get, I am certain that you will the best dad of the world, any woman will be the luckiest one to have you as life partner Aslam, but darling I am not destined to have those days in your company. I know my destiny had to know love through you only, you are the only man of my life, the other man will get a living corpse in me, my love is yours, my soul is yours sweetheart, but we can’t be together…..” And Aslam hit his forehead and said “Hey, ho! You are getting me nervous now! WHAT THE HELL ABOUT THAT BLOODY CHAP? WHEN YOU LOVE ME WHY ON EARTH YOU HAVE TO BE WITH HIM, LOOK, LOOK SALMA, I AM VERY SERIOUS! IT IS HIGH TIME YOU DECIDE!! YOU HAVE TO FORGET EVERYTHING BACK FOR SOMETIME, THEN LATER ALL WILL BE ALRIGHT AGAIN…. AT PRESENT YOUR FAMILY WILL HATE YOU, WE WILL MAY BE, BE IGNORED FOR SOMETIME, THEY WILL DISLIKE US FOR SOMEDAYS BECAUSE WE RAN AWAY, BUT YOU WILL SEE GRADUALLY THEY WILL ALL BE TOGETHER WITH US…. ONE DAY YOUR FATHER WILL WISH TO SEE HIS GRAND CHILDREN, AND WHEN HE WILL LEARN YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A DAUGHTER OR A SON, HE WILL WISH TO SEE… AND THAT IS THE WAY WE WILL ALL BE UNITED AGAIN…. BUT AT THIS MOMENT WE HAVE TO BE SELFISH FOR A WHILE… THIS IS BECAUSE THEY WONT UNDERSTAND OUR LOVE AT THIS MOMENT…THIS IS THE WAY OF LIFE... THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE WORLD EVER EXISTED....” Salma listened to him with passion but replied “My beloved Aslam, you are so perfect in all that you said my love, but you won’t understand my obligations. The day that I decided to see you and started going out with you I was already aware that this day will come... I should not have accepted even to talk with you! I had been selfish, I cheated you in a way it must be said, I so much wanted to tell you that I am already engaged! I once said it, but you did not believe, and you looked for the ring in my finger.... and I do not wear it as I did not consider that an engagement.... I was compelled to accept by my parents Aslam, but there is something more which I just can’t pronounce sweetheart, which hinders me to come with you... our love story ends here Aslam.... let’s go now, its nearly sunset, it will soon be dark here, do forgive me if you can my love, we wont see each other anymore, and I am very sorry for tomorrow, we have to cancel that meeting at our secret place....the whole of my life I will remember that place and those moments spent in your company.... lets go now love.” Aslam got very angry and shouted with all force “what the hell!!What the hell!!” and he started weeping and talked meanwhile “ why? Why Salma? Please don’t do that to me! I love you too much, you are part of my life... I won’t be able to live without you baby, don’t say such things....” Tears rolled over his cheeks, Salma started crying again on seeing him so helpless and Aslam continued still within tears “Look baby, I have big dreams with you in my life, don’t get them shattered, I wish you to give me a child, I have already visualised you as the mother of my children, I have seen you cooking in our kitchen, I have found myself waking up by your side in the morning,I have seen your face to be the first i see when waking up every morning,“ he was nervously rubbing off the tears running non stop, his voice changed modulations with the cry, yet he continued describing his dreams, “I saw you waiting for me at the threshold in the evening when I return back from work, I found a list in my pocket which you gave me to buy things while returning from work, oh my God, oh God please listen to my prayers, hey Salma, WILL THIS PRAYER BE HEARD LIKE THE TRAFFIC JAM ONE? PLEASE TELL ME SALMA...ASK GOD TO ANSWER MY PRAYERS.” Salma burst into tears more than him on hearing the pleas with woes of Aslam.... Salma neared him, he pushed her, he was irritated, he was very angry, he did not know what to think, what to do! He felt his head aching, he felt dizzy, he wished to run, and he was behaving odd..... Salma went on crying seeing him that way and she knew he was too much affected by all that was happening...... She controlled herself, walked to him, he was leaning against a tree, his head looking at the sky, and she touched him, caressed his chest and then rubbed his cheek, dried his tears and said “Hush.... cool, cool down, control yourself, be strong....let’s walk slowly, we’ll be late...” he felt worn out, he walked with her, both were quiet, he cried without letting her see, she did same.... they walked aimlessly, more than a kilometre without saying a word. On reaching the terminus, the street lights were on already, they got in the bus, sat together, and this day it was Salma who paid the fare. Aslam was sitting lifeless as though!..... And they did not talk at all till they reached Phoenix except he hardly articulated “are you going to work tomorrow?” in a very rough voice, he had shouted and cried so much that he could not recognize his voice! She said yes, and was getting up to alight when the bus stopped, Aslam did NOT GET DOWN. She told him to go home and have a sleep then he will feel better. At home Aslam said no word to anybody. His elder brother also had learnt his matter through his mother. ........... He did not have dinner but went straight to bed and slept. He woke up at midnight, took the bicycle and cycled to Salma’s place! He did several rounds near her house; he wished to get in and knock.... but did not. He instead went to Vivek’s place. Vivek is the friend who told Aslam that her name was Salma when he had asked to enquire. He lived 10 houses from Salma’s house. He was a man in the forties and was a Supervisor in the firm Aslam worked. He knew Aslam too well and was like a family member at his place. Vivek knew Aslam’s problem which took place three years ago as well! He had supported him all along that hard time. He was shocked to see Aslam at his doorstep after midnight! He got him inside and Aslam started crying relating all that happened with Salma. Vivek was surprised to learn that Salam was engaged, he was not aware despite living there itself. He went to wake up his sister to ask. She came to join them in the lounge and Sanjana, (Vivek’s sister) explained that she got engaged two months ago and all happened silently, no people of the surrounding were invited, as it took place at night and that was because Salma’s father owed that man one million Rupees as he is a gambler and owed him since a long time back! And when he was not able to repay that man found Salma and asked to get married to her and he will forget those one million of rupees! Aslam was not at ease at all after learning all this! Sanjana had a beauty parlour and often received customers at her place in the nights! And she was the friend of Salma. So Salma had related her everything, but Vivek was not told so he was unaware of all that! Aslam left their place after Vivek talked to him like a big brother brainwashing him about the matter. And Aslam requested Sanjana not to tell Salma about his visit and the words they talked. The next morning, Salma and Aslam met in the bus, had some words and like usual they promised to see each other in the evening at Rose hill. Salma’s eyes were red, and Aslam had sore head. They had very difficult nights both of them. Their day also elapsed with much difficulty... he kept thinking about her only and tried to see if he could find any way out of that hell of a situation!! In the evening they met and this time Aslam suggested that they go to the botanical garden. She accepted reluctantly...... but as soon as they were going to get in the taxi, some men neared them and Aslam was found caught among, about 10 men and was being beaten!! It was Javed, Salma’s brother and his friends. Salma got two hard slaps, was pulled and sent back to the bus stop. Javed addressed to Aslam, “So you are mister the gallant? You go out with my sister? You make her escape her job and you take her out? On Sundays you pretend to be working? And where the hell do you take her to work? You bloody bastard do you know that she is engaged and is soon to get married?” Aslam did not open the mouth. He kept quiet, they started beating him, he was pulled on the road, about 10 men over him, some kicking him with their boots on his belly, some hitting on his face, he defended himself the best he could, but our hero was not the Holywood or Bolywood superheroes, so he could not fight back 10 men alone.... when they left him, he was moaning with pain..... He was taken to hospital by the taxi he was hiring to go to the garden! He was admitted as 3 ribs were broken and his lip had a cut and head had wounds with several blows. He stayed in ward 5 for 10 days! When he was discharged, he went to see Vivek and enquire about Salma, he was told that she was banned from leaving the house and going to work! And she was to be getting married within 5 days!
