They both went over the railed in the heat of the moment and they were holding for dear life. “Dianne!” Joseph voice was heard inside the hotel room. “S-Seph!” The ex-girlfriend shouted. “Help me!” “Dianne!” Joseph was alarmed to see her hanging on the balcony. “Yvette? Why are you here?!” He sounded surprised. “H-Help me.” Yvette cried. “Hold on! I am going to get you out.” Joseph said but he pulled his ex-girlfriend first and took off his coat to put on to her. Yvette’s heart was crushed. She knew in that time that who Joseph really loved was Dianne and not her. This erased all of her hope on being loved and had let go. She felt her body falling for a long time. Yvette’s body felt light and she thought that she had now thrown all of her guilt and the burden in the loveless relationship.

Imran Series by Ibn_e_Safi

The "Imran Series" by Ibn-e-Safi is a renowned collection of Urdu spy novels, centered around the character Ali Imran, a secret agent working for the secret service of an unnamed country. The series, started in the early 1950s, blends elements of mystery, adventure, and humor, creating a unique and captivating narrative style. Ali Imran, the protagonist, is portrayed as a deceptively goofy and frivolous character, often underestimated by his adversaries due to his seemingly inept behavior. However, beneath this facade lies a brilliant and cunning mind, making him an exceptional detective and spy. Imran operates under various aliases and employs an eclectic team of assistants to tackle criminal masterminds, thwart espionage plots, and unravel complex mysteries. The series features a rich array of recurring characters, including Imran's loyal sidekicks like Joseph Mugonda, a strongman with a gentle heart, and the beautiful yet deadly Julia. Each novel introduces readers to new villains and intricate plots, keeping the stories fresh and engaging. The blend of action, intrigue, and humor, along with Safi's vivid and witty writing, has earned the "Imran Series" a cherished place in South Asian literature, continuing to captivate readers across generations. Disclaimer: I'm not the writer of this series. The original writer was actually "Asrar Ahmed" and he wrote this beautiful series of novels by the alias of "Ibn-e-Safi" (1928-1980). The original series was in Urdu language. I'm a big fan of "Ibn-e-Safi" and "Imran Series". I wanted to bring this series to global readers, so I am translating it into English and putting it on this large platform.

Musikleben

In the heart of Vienna, where the echoes of classical melodies danced through the air, lived a modern musician named Benjamin O'Connor. Benjamin was a prodigious talent in the contemporary music scene, seamlessly blending electronic beats with soulful melodies. Little did he know that his life was about to take an extraordinary turn. One evening, as Benjamin prepared for a groundbreaking performance in the vibrant city, a mysterious force enveloped him. Colors twisted and sounds blurred, transporting him through the fabric of time. Suddenly, he found himself in an era untouched by synthesizers and digital harmonies. It was the year 1741, the time when Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire was born. Confused and disoriented, Benjamin took in the unfamiliar surroundings. The air was filled with the scent of horse-drawn carriages, and the cobblestone streets echoed with the clatter of footsteps in traditional attire. The towering structures of Vienna looked different, as if frozen in a historical painting. As Benjamin grappled with the reality of his situation, he soon realized that he was no longer in the 21st century. Panic and awe intertwined within him, but his musician's spirit prevailed. Rather than succumbing to the strangeness of the past, he saw an opportunity to explore a world where musical notes were written with quills, not keyboards. In the midst of this historical epoch, Benjamin navigated the winding alleys and grand palaces of Vienna, eager to understand the musical landscape of the 18th century. He discovered the Baroque elegance of orchestral compositions and the intricate craftsmanship of harpsichords. The streets resonated with the melodies of Mozart and Haydn, composers who were yet to be born in his original timeline. Joseph II, the future ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, was still a child, oblivious to the visitor from another time. Benjamin observed the society of the period, marveling at the cultural richness and the strict etiquette that governed daily life. As he adapted to the customs of the era, he became a musical sojourner, merging his avant-garde sensibilities with the classical tapestry of the past. Word of the mysterious musician spread through Vienna like wildfire. Aristocrats and commoners alike flocked to witness Benjamin's unorthodox performances, where the clash of eras created a symphony that transcended time itself. His music became a bridge between epochs, a testament to the timeless power of artistic expression. As Benjamin immersed himself in this unfamiliar world, he also grappled with the challenges of existing in a time where his very existence defied explanation. Yet, through the challenges, he found unexpected allies among the musicians and patrons who recognized the magic in his music. Little did Benjamin know that his journey through time would not only leave an indelible mark on the pages of history but also reshape his own understanding of music and humanity. In the crucible of the past, a modern musician discovered that the language of melody could transcend the boundaries of time, connecting hearts across centuries.
