riders of horses rather than as the half-human, half-horsemen legends traditionally portray.
"The Firebrand" is Bradley's second re-telling of a famous legend, and her only novel set in ancient Greece. She decided to re-envision legends from a female perspective, and said that she had an interest to "hear more about the human realities" surrounding well-known stories, but did not believe this constituted a feminist writing style. In an interview with Lisa See of "Publishers Weekly", Bradley said she viewed the Trojan War legend as an example of masculine culture dominating and obfuscating female viewpoints and contributions. She said:
Unlike "The Mists of Avalon", which featured a wide range | 6,132,100 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
of Arthurian legends that Bradley drew upon as source material, Bradley cited few sources while writing "The Firebrand". She credits her then-husband, author Walter H. Breen, with helping her research the book and create the story. Breen was knowledgeable about ancient Greek history and language; according to Bradley he persuaded her to use linguistically correct transliterations of the characters' names, such as Akhilles rather than the commonly known form Achilles. Though Kassandra's fate remains unknown in the "Iliad", Bradley found inspiration for the character's ending from an inscription at the Archaeological Museum in Athens, which mentioned Kassandra's descendants. Bradley believed that | 6,132,101 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
this inscription provided the historical basis for Kassandra's existence.
# Themes and analysis.
## Gender roles.
In the original story found in the "Iliad", female characters receive little attention; although they are often crucial to progressing events, they have no developed identities of their own, and are instead defined by motherhood, wifehood, and sisterhood. Cassandra is described in that story as "the loveliest of [Priam's] lovely daughters," but does not speak at all. Today she is remembered for portending the city's doom and for not being believed by its inhabitants, who think she is mad. On ancient Greek pottery she is depicted as half naked with long, wild hair, and Shakespeare's | 6,132,102 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
1602 play "Troilus and Cressida" characterizes her as an insane woman. After the Akhaians use the Trojan Horse to enter Troy, the "Aeneid" and other accounts relay how Cassandra is raped by Ajax, is taken captive by Agamemnon, and is later killed with him by his angry wife Clytemnestra. By setting her story from the female perspective, Bradley gives womenespecially the formerly silent Cassandraa voice. Here, Kassandra is depicted as a strong and insightful woman rather than as a lunatic, yet she is still misunderstood by many of those around her. She is allowed to survive Klytemnestra's wrath to record a female counter-narrative.
"The Firebrand" employs similar themes to Bradley's other works, | 6,132,103 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
including the reversal of gender roles where "women are the true heroes" while the "proud, arrogant" men who lead Troy to doom "fail to invoke the reader's sympathy". The novel's title refers to Paris and the destruction he brings to Troy. "The Firebrand" has been perceived as belonging to the revisionist history genre, as it fits into a "reinvent[ion of] stories that are either historical or derived from myth/legend but often taken to be historical," and then told with a different narrative. The novel has also been seen as an example of feminist literature. Despite Bradley's refusal to label herself as a feminist, her works often dealt with themes of gender, religion, and power, particularly | 6,132,104 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
in historically patriarchal societies. In "The Firebrand", Bradley introduces feminist ideals by equating the patriarchal culture with oppressive tendencies; perceived to have been scorned by the male god Apollo, Kassandra is not believed by Trojan citizens because of her gender.
Funda Basak Dorschel noted that because there is "no humanity or compassion in this masculine world," characters traditionally associated with noble, positive qualities are instead "stripped of their own glamor" and are portrayed in a negative lightAkhilles for instance is a "mad dog" who rapes Penthesilea as an act of cold-blooded contempt, rather than as an act of sudden love upon causing her death. Agamemnon and | 6,132,105 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
Menelaus are rendered as patriarchal stereotypes. In her entry for "Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Review Annual", Mary-Kay Bray wrote that Bradley's account makes these traditional heroes seem more human and flawed, even if they are also less admirable.
## Religion and gender.
Bradley believed that "cultural shock, the clash of alien cultures, is the essence of literature and drama," and incorporated this viewpoint into many of her works. "The Firebrand" is set in a time of change and Kassandra is caught between new and old cultures. Despite being ruled by a king and worshiping the male god Apollo, the Trojans still respect the ancient cult surrounding the Earth Mother. In Colchis, the powerful | 6,132,106 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
queen Imandra rules alone but her way of life is decliningshe is aging and uncertain of her successor, and the impoverished areas surrounding Colchis contain two other dwindling civilizations; the Amazons and the Kentaurs.
Literary critics have observed elements of neo-paganism in the novel. Bradley often included characteristics of neo-paganism into her stories as she explored the intersection of gender and religion. While neo-paganism lacks a singular definition, many followers have come to define it as a primitive, matriarchal religion that flourished in Western Europe, centered on the worship of a "Mother Goddess", and became largely decimated by Christianity. Fry wrote that "a basic assumption | 6,132,107 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
[in "The Firebrand"] is that the people of ancient Greece had worshiped the Goddess prior to the arrival of the Akhaians," a people who brought with them a "male warrior pantheon of Gods ... and gradually subverted the old ways." Bradley's Penthesilea tells a young Kassandra, "But remember, child: before ever Apollo Sun Lord came to rule these lands, our Horse Motherthe Great Mare, the Earth Mother from whom we all are bornshe was here."
"The Firebrand" combines two belief systems and mixes neo-paganism with elements of Greek mythology. Scholars have found similarities between "The Firebrand" and "The Mists of Avalon"; they serve "parallel purposes" by retelling old legends from female perspectives. | 6,132,108 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
Both stories deal with the confrontation between female-based, Earth-centered belief systems and rising patriarchal religions. This religious dichotomy appears first as a conflict between Apollo and the Goddess, and later as a confrontation between the Akhaian and Trojan gods. In the novel's tradition, serpents represent the Mother Goddess' prominent place in religious life, immortality, rebirth, and regeneration. Readers are told that Pythona female snake deity and symbol of the Goddesswas slain by the Hellenistic Apollo, representing the destruction of feminine social, political, and religious power.
Bradley also uses the story's female characters to create a feminist dichotomy; Kassandra | 6,132,109 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
and Penthesilea represent the "feminist side" in their pursuit of independence, while many of the other womensuch as Andromache, Hecuba, and Helen"subordinate themselves to patriarchal traditions, values, goods." The loss of this matriarchal culture has been viewed as the novel's main theme. Bradley writes of the power of women in many of her works, including "The Mists of Avalon" and the "Darkover" series, and "The Firebrand" continues this by depicting Kassandra in an idealized world; the Amazons follow the Earth Goddess but are slowly dwindling in the wake of the patriarchal "male warrior pantheon of Gods." Through Kassandra's experiences with the Amazons, Bradley shows that she idealizes | 6,132,110 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
this group of women.
# Release.
The novel was published on October 1, 1987 by Simon & Schuster, and a paperback edition was released in September 1988. In 1989, "The Firebrand" was translated into Portuguese by A. B. Pinheiro de Lemos and into French by Hubert Tezenas. It has been published in at least ten other languages, including Italian, German, Lithuanian, Japanese, and modern Greek.
## Reception.
"The Firebrand" has received less critical attention and success than Bradley's earlier novel "The Mists of Avalon", which has tended to overshadow it. "The Firebrand" received mixed to positive reviews from mainstream literary critics. Magill Book Reviews applauded Bradley's faithfulness | 6,132,111 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
to the source material in the "Iliad", despite the "startling liberties [she takes] with Homer's work." However, the reviewer said her themes of gender and religion, "rendered artfully and gracefully in ["The Mists of Avalon"], becomes tiresome with repetition." Bradley said that some readers would take umbrage at her changes to the Trojan legend; she said, "had I been content with the account in the "Iliad", there would have been no reason to write a novel. Besides, the "Iliad" stops short just at the most interesting point, leaving the writer to conjecture about the end from assorted legends and traditions." "The Library Journal" said readers should familiarize themselves with Greek mythology | 6,132,112 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
before beginning the novel, and said the author "makes a strong statement about the desirability of women having control of their own destinies and about the cruelties men inflict upon them." "The Encyclopedia of Fantasy" said that "The Firebrand" and Bradley's 1994 novel "The Forest House" "display [Bradley's] talent for plot, character, vision and fine storytelling."
Reviewing for "The Globe and Mail", H.J. Kirchhoff compared "The Firebrand" to "The Mists of Avalon", and wrote that the former "is neither as refreshing nor as lovely, even though it is a pretty good read." Kirchhoff wrote that "The Firebrand" contained too many similarities to Bradley's previous novels, saying, "the interlarding | 6,132,113 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
of old story and feminist ideology seems forced," though he praised her "flesh-and-blood" depiction of the men associated with the legend. Vicki McCash of the "Sun Sentinel" commended the novel for making the legendary characters "breathe and feel" and for giving a "refreshing" twist to the ancient story. McCash wrote, "From the first pages, the reader is gripped in the magic of ancient Troy. These stories have been revered for centuries, but in "The Firebrand" they are retold to become one epic novel, not only of heroes and gods, but of heroines and goddesses and of change in the very fabric of society." McCash said that male readers might be troubled by the negative portrayals of their sex, | 6,132,114 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
but that Bradley attempted to avoid this by inputting a few sympathetic men such as Aeneas, and several evil women such as Klytemnestra. Virginia Judge of "The Herald" called it a "fascinating, but lengthy tale," and praised Bradley's depictions of the old religion. She criticized the ending for seeming "contrived."
A reviewer for the "English Journal" praised the novel and found one of its main strengths is "its ability to entertain the reader with characters who are basically faithful to their origins in the "Iliad", yet at the same time rounder, fuller, and more personally engaging." The reviewer wrote the Bradley "fleshes out the stereotypes on which the characterization in the epic poem | 6,132,115 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
reststhe cold calculating Achilles; crafty, gregarious Odysseus; frustrated Cassandrawith convincing dialogue which not only carries the plot but gives reference to other events both mythical and historical." The "English Journal" also said that "Bradley tempers the bitterness and cynicism of Homer's Cassandra, presenting instead a woman confused and tormented by knowledge on which she is powerless to act." In an overview of Bradley's body of work, "Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction" author Don D'Amassa called the novel "one of her better fantasies." Bradley's works have received praise from feminist critics, who have particularly lauded her ability to portray multidimensional women | 6,132,116 |
37321585 | The Firebrand | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Firebrand | The Firebrand
ess and cynicism of Homer's Cassandra, presenting instead a woman confused and tormented by knowledge on which she is powerless to act." In an overview of Bradley's body of work, "Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction" author Don D'Amassa called the novel "one of her better fantasies." Bradley's works have received praise from feminist critics, who have particularly lauded her ability to portray multidimensional women as "revered conduit[s] of nature-based religion and mysticism" as seen with the character of Kassandra. At the 1988 Locus Awards, "The Firebrand" was voted the twentieth best fantasy novel of the year.

Career.
Whilst Guy was attending Reigate College, he enjoyed studying classical music, especially the likes of Bach and Claude Debussy. A teenage interest in the music and production techniques of Detroit-based rapper and record producer J Dilla, led him through hip hop to attending dubstep gigs as a student; but he enjoyed house music more as a creation, and began studying it and introducing his brother to it. Primarily influenced by artists including Joy Orbison, James Blake, Burial and Mount Kimbie, the brothers were led back in time to Chicago house, Detroit techno, UK garage and 2-step garage.
### Debut.
The brothers started de-constructing and copying the music that Guy had heard at | 6,132,126 |
37321842 | Disclosure (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disclosure%20(band) | Disclosure (band)
gigs in a room above their father's auction house, and then making music in the same room in a style they refer to as "electronic house music with a pop structure", uploading it to Myspace. This got them an early record deal, and a UK tour, mixing live music gigs with occasional DJ sets, where in Manchester, they played a set before Todd Edwards, and gained after gig all-night conversation.
The duo's first single, "Offline Dexterity" was released on 29 August 2010. They signed to the new PMR record label on its formation in January 2011, and released their second single, "Carnival"/"I Love...That You Know" on 13 June 2011. This got them a management deal with Sam Evitt and Jack Street's Method | 6,132,127 |
37321842 | Disclosure (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disclosure%20(band) | Disclosure (band)
Management whom they are still managed by.
### Commercial success and "Settle".
Disclosure picked up their first significant national radio support upon the release of the "Tenderly" / "Flow" single in January 2012. The single led to significant interest in the subsequent June 2012 EP, "The Face", released on Greco-Roman. The EP included the popular remix of "Running" by Jessie Ware a fellow PMR artist which charted in both the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as becoming a fixture of the 2012 Festival Circuit and featuring on the annual edition of Annie Mac presents.
Through collaboration with other artists signed to Method Management, the group had their first UK hit in October 2012 with | 6,132,128 |
37321842 | Disclosure (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disclosure%20(band) | Disclosure (band)
"Latch", co-written with Jimmy Napes and featuring the vocals from Sam Smith, which peaked at number 11 in the UK Singles Chart.
The group maintained their momentum into 2013 – they were voted into the BBC Radio 1xtra 'Hot Ten For 2013' and scored two consecutive top 10 hit singles in "White Noise" (number two) (with AlunaGeorge) and "You & Me" (number 10) (with Eliza Doolittle). These three singles were collected on an EP, "The Singles". They released their debut studio album, "Settle", by PMR Records on 3 June 2013 and was met with commercial and critical success, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart, charting in many countries across Europe and Australia, and receiving four stars | 6,132,129 |
37321842 | Disclosure (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disclosure%20(band) | Disclosure (band)
from "The Guardian" and a 9.1 score on "Pitchfork". They performed twice at Glastonbury Festival 2013 and appeared on "Later... with Jools Holland". The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Album.
In 2013, Disclosure embarked on a worldwide tour of more than 40 European, American, and Canadian cities, including high-profile music festivals such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago, and Sasquatch! Music Festival in Washington State. The same year, they established the record label Method Records; its roster includes Friend Within, Karen Harding, Lxury, and Tourist. A sub label was introduced in February 2015, called Method White, | 6,132,130 |
37321842 | Disclosure (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disclosure%20(band) | Disclosure (band)
releasing more underground tracks through it. The first release was "Wolfsbane" by Jonas Rathsman. Since then, M. J. Cole and Eats Everything have released tracks through the label. Disclosure's song "When a Fire Starts to Burn" was used in the sixth episode of the first season of "The 100".
### "Caracal" and hiatus.
Following the worldwide success of their debut studio album, "Settle" and a worldwide tour, the duo began working on their second studio album, "Caracal", featuring vocals from Sam Smith, Lorde, Gregory Porter, Lion Babe, Kwabs, The Weeknd, Nao, Miguel, Jordan Rakei and Brendan Reilly. The week of its release, "Caracal" earned the group their second consecutive number one album | 6,132,131 |
37321842 | Disclosure (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disclosure%20(band) | Disclosure (band)
in the UK Albums Chart.
The music videos for official singles from the album published on YouTube are interconnected and follow a story line, each newly released video furthering the plot. The videos follow a young woman in a sci-fi, dystopian world who is, for some unknown reason, being chased by the police.
Three singles were released prior to the album: "Omen", "Holding On" and "Jaded". Two promotional singles were also released: "Willing and Able" and "Hourglass". The album was released on 25 September 2015, by PMR Records and Island Records. The album was also nominated for Best Dance/Electronica Album at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
In February 2017, the duo announced they were to take a | 6,132,132 |
37321842 | Disclosure (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disclosure%20(band) | Disclosure (band)
year's hiatus with the exception of "a few special things", including performances with BBC Radio 1 in Ibiza and the return of their festival Wildlife that summer.
### Third studio album.
In January 2018, the duo confirmed that they were in the process of recording their third studio album set for release in summer 2019. After a hiatus, Disclosure released a song in May 2018 called "Ultimatum" featuring Fatoumata Diawara. In August 2018, five new songs were released over a daily basis: "Moonlight", "Where Angels Fear to Tread", "Love Can Be So Hard", "Funky Sensation" and "Where You Come From". The singles, furthermore, announced their comeback into the studio and revealed that they had started | 6,132,133 |

Saint Thomas's Church (Jèrriais: "Églyise dé Saint Thonmas") is a historic Roman Catholic church in St. Helier, Jersey. It is the largest church in the Channel Islands, and first opened its doors in 1887.
# History.
## Restoring Catholicism.
Catholicism was restored to Jersey with the influx of refugees fleeing to the island to escape the French Revolution. With the arrival of bishops, priests and laity from revolutionary France, Catholic chapels were set up in St. Helier to meet their spiritual needs.
## Establishing a Church.
The first sizeable permanent post-Reformation Catholic church was a converted Protestant chapel in New Street, which was established | 6,132,136 |
37321984 | Saint Thomas Church, Jersey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saint%20Thomas%20Church,%20Jersey | Saint Thomas Church, Jersey
in 1842 and dedicated to St. Thomas in honour of Bishop Thomas Griffiths, Apostolic Vicariate of the London District, who opened it for worship. The church was served by various French and Belgium diocesan priests until 1880, when the Bishop handed the mission over to the French province of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
Within two years, an appeal was started for the building of a new church in Val Plaisant, which opened in 1887. The French speaking parishioners were so proud of this Church, the largest in the Channel Islands, that they called it "La Cathédrale".
The consecration took place on 5 September 1893, to commemorate the centenary of the re-establishment of the Catholic Church in | 6,132,137 |
37321984 | Saint Thomas Church, Jersey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saint%20Thomas%20Church,%20Jersey | Saint Thomas Church, Jersey
the Channel Isles, in 1793, when the bill of tolerance was handed over to Mathieu de Gruchy, a Jerseyman and a convert who became a priest in the French diocese of Luçon before the Revolution.
From 1880 until 1999 the church was served faithfully by French Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. It was Father Donat Michaux, , who raised the money for and directed the building of the church. For this reason, he has always been regarded as its founder. The church was adapted for the new liturgy in 1984 and was beautifully restored in 2006/2007 under the direction of Monsignor Nicholas France, Catholic Dean in Jersey.

Hisham Al-Saedni
Hisham Al Saedni (), also known by the nom de guerre Abu Walid al-Maqdisi, was a Palestinian military activist and a Muslim leader and founding member of the Mujahideen Shura Council in the Environs of Jerusalem in the Gaza Strip and he was also leader of al-Tawhid wa al-Jihad, a branch of al-Qaeda in Gaza.
# Early life.
Al-Saedni was born in Gaza in around 1965. He lived in Egypt and Jordan. He fought for Al Qaeda in Iraq. Egypt wanted to arrest him due to his alleged involvement in attacks against Egypt's tourist sites.
# Terrorist activities.
On 5 February 2011, Al-Saedni, then also known as Sheikh 'Ahed Ahmad 'Abd Al-Karim Al-Sa'idani, was the leader of a Gazan jihadist | 6,132,175 |

group calling itself Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, and posted a fatwa stating that Jews and Christians may be targeted in lethal attacks such as those of 9/11 because they are "aggressive combatants" and "fundamentally not innocent". The fatwa also stated that it is not permissible to refrain from such attacks for fear of hurting Muslims, "because this would mean stopping the jihad".
Al-Saedni tried to unite all the different groups of Salafi jihadists in Gaza to form and lead the Mujahideen Shura Council in the Environs of Jerusalem.
On 2 March 2011, Hamas authorities in Gaza arrested Al Saedni for his involvement with the earlier jihad operations of al-Tawhid wal-Jihad allegedly related to | 6,132,176 |

ed Al Saedni for his involvement with the earlier jihad operations of al-Tawhid wal-Jihad allegedly related to the Salafist jihadist movement. During his detention, in April 2011, Al Saedni's supporters from al-Tawhid wal-Jihad kidnapped the Italian pro-Palestinian activist Vittorio Arrigoni and later killed him. He was released in August 2012, but was killed in an Israeli airstrike two months later.
# Death.
Hisham Al Saedni was killed on 13 October 2012 by an Israeli Air Force strike together with Ashraf Al Sabah who was also a Salafist. The attack occurred on a busy street in the Jabalia district of Gaza City. Israel said it was responding to an earlier rocket attack on southern Israel. | 6,132,177 |

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
Jab Tak Hai Jaan () is a 2012 Indian romantic drama film directed by Yash Chopra; written and produced by Aditya Chopra under their production banner, Yash Raj Films. It stars Shah Rukh Khan as Samar Anand, a bomb disposal expert whose diary falls into the hands of an intern played by Anushka Sharma. The diary recounts his time as a struggling immigrant in London, and later details his whirlwind romance with Meera Thapar, played by Katrina Kaif.
"Jab Tak Hai Jaan" marked the second collaboration between Khan and Sharma, as they previously featured in the film "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" (2008) and the first between Khan and Kaif. Yash Chopra returned to direction eight years after | 6,132,194 |

"Veer-Zaara". This film was Yash Chopra's fourth film to feature Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. This is his final film before his death in October 2012. The background score and soundtrack were composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics from Gulzar. The film was released during the six-day Diwali weekend beginning on 13 November 2012. "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" emerged as the third-highest-grossing Bollywood film overseas at that time, after "3 Idiots (2009)" and "My Name Is Khan" (2010).
The film received positive reviews from critics in India and overseas. The film was praised for its direction, cinematography, and the chemistry between its lead actors. Khan and Sharma were lauded for their performances, | 6,132,195 |

# Plot.
Samar Anand (Shah Rukh Khan), a major in the Indian Army, defuses a bomb without fear or regard for his safety. Akira Rai (Anushka Sharma), a Discovery Channel filmmaker, later dives into a river in Ladakh and is rescued by him. Samar gives her his jacket and leaves before retrieving it. Akira finds his diary in the jacket pocket and begins reading.
The diary recounts Samar's earlier years as a struggling immigrant in London, | 6,132,196 |

working as a street musician who performs other menial jobs to support himself and his roommate Zain (Sharib Hashmi). Samar is working part-time as a waiter when he meets Meera (Katrina Kaif) at her and her fiancé Roger's engagement party. Meera grew up, motherless, in an affluent Christian Indian family; her mother (Neetu Singh) left for another man (Rishi Kapoor) when she was twelve. The dominant person in her life is her father (Anupam Kher), for whose company she works. Samar notices that Meera often prays when he sees her at the church. Samar and Meera begin to fall in love after a night of wild street dancing. To face her past, Samar takes Meera to visit her estranged mother and they reconcile. | 6,132,197 |

Some days later Meera decides to confess to her father about her relationship with Samar and break her engagement, Samar has a serious accident on his motorbike. Meera prays to God to save his life, promising never to see him again. Samar recovers and Meera admits her vow to him. Angry, he leaves her and London. Samar challenges God to keep him alive while he risks his life every day because he believes his death is the only way to make Meera lose her faith in God. He goes to India and enlists in the army, becoming a bomb-disposal expert.
When Akira finishes reading the diary, she obtains permission to make a documentary about a bomb-disposal squad. She asks Samar for help to make her film | 6,132,198 |

and becomes acquainted with him and his team. Akira develops a crush on Samar; however, he does not reciprocate because of his unresolved love for Meera. Akira makes a successful film and leaves for London. She wants Samar to visit the city to help her publicise the film; after he reluctantly agrees to come to London, he is struck by a bus.
Samar is diagnosed with retrograde amnesia, and he remembers only the events before his first accident a decade ago. Concerned, Akira tracks Meera down and persuades her to aid in Samar's recovery. Meera agrees, pretending to be Samar's wife. In the meantime, Akira realises that Major Samar is only a fragment of the young Samar; he used to be happy and sociable | 6,132,199 |
