Kismet by Luke Tredget Pdf

Black Mirror meets Bridget Jones in this whip-smart debut set in a world where the ultimate matchmaking app has redefined romance. Twenty-nine-year-old Anna is smart, vivacious, and in the midst of a complete existential meltdown. Sure, from the outside everything in her life seems to be going just fine: She has a decent job, a devoted BFF, and a lovely boyfriend named Pete with whom she is exactly 70% compatible, according to Kismet, the matchmaking app that everyone in Anna's world uses to find love. Still...isn't there supposed to be more to life than this? Should she settle for a secure and predictable existence with Pete, or risk everything for a life of passion and adventure? With true adulthood (the dreaded thirty) just weeks away, Anna secretly re-joins Kismet, and soon encounters Geoff, a dashing, forty-something journalist with whom she has a shockingly high compatibility score of 81. How can she not at least see where this goes...? A funny and propulsive love story for our over-networked age, KISMET challenges us to take stock of how technology shapes our desires and what it means to "settle."

Chasing Kismet by Amrita Lit Pdf

Life as a young, modern Indo-Canadian woman is not as simple as it may seem. Tara Sidhu knows this firsthand. She's doing her best to accept that women of her culture are treated differently than men, but her mother's cold demeanor and her father's alcoholism leave her feeling truly alone. Although trying her best to run toward a different future-one far removed from the societal expectations of her community-Tara finds her past relentlessly catching up with her. Sent to India to put a loved one to rest, Tara ends up ensnared in an arranged marriage. The darkly complex web of her family history entangles her, and Tara must tap her inner strength to combat the emotional horrors inflicted upon her. Chasing Kismet tackles deeply convoluted human issues that will particularly resonate with Indian and South Asian readers. From the intricacies of family and community dynamics to the lack of mental health support, Tara's experience is one that will feel intimately familiar to many. Written with dazzling emotional depth and profound cultural insights, Chasing Kismet will remind you that family roots have a way of following us-no matter how hard we pursue a new destiny.

Kismet by Cynthia Sacht,Ilona Beutum Pdf

Kismet fate – destiny the illusive puppeteer that manipulates the strings. It is 1997, and three years since apartheid was dismantled. A New South Africa has emerged, victorious. Opportunities abound and hope transcends, but for some the warped ideology of that era still lingers. Doctor Henry Keyler a TV panellist, is intent on promoting unity across the racial divides. Attractive and alluring, his co-panellist, attorney Lexie Lewin, has become a voice for abused women. For the most part, her marriage to the charismatic Steve and their charmed life in Kismet Manor is more than she’d dared to envisage. After a series of jarring events, however, she begins to question whether she’s been living in delusional contentment. Kate Mabusa, a black maid, has truly and utterly loved a white man and borne his child, yet she never speaks about him – not even to her daughter – not even now that the laws have changed and love across the colour barrier is no longer a crime. As events unravel, two estranged souls rekindle a beautiful and powerful love. Inextricably linked; a murder and trial rattle the lives of Kismet’s characters, and through their intersecting journeys we learn that if we let it, our past can debilitate us, or inspire us to greater heights.

Can Amy’s marriage survive Jo’s wedding? For as long as anyone can remember, it has been Amy, Jo, and Ben. Amy and Jo, the inseparable Sharp twins who couldn’t be more different; and Ben, Amy’s childhood sweetheart turned husband. But as this year’s Fourth of July weekend approaches, something feels off.

Recent arguments between Amy and Ben have left their marriage feeling more like make-believe than ever-after.

One with a strikingly familiar face. A face that Amy had planned to never see again.

Kismet by Martine Shepherd Pdf

Kismet is a state of being and living. For too long humans have forgotten how to exist with true wisdom. Instead of being connected with this divine force and engaging our intrinsic wisdom to guide our lives, we have created a detached reality void of connectedness. We have surrendered our power and knowledge to others and become a homogenized society through brainwashing, mistruth, chemicals, propaganda and fear mongering. As a benevolent race it is time for humanity to reclaim the greatest gift bestowed to us, love and wisdom. It is time to realign with the Christ Consciousness through Kismet.

Kismet in the Sand by Shafik Benjamin Pdf

In Pre-Islamic Arabia, newborn female babies are buried alive in the desert, a custom practiced to avoid a possible future shame on the men in their families. Amir Shams stumbles upon an infant being pulled from the sand by a mysterious man and woman. Suspicious, Shams follows them and in a twist of events, finds himself the adoptive father of six girls. One is the abandoned daughter of the King of Arbad and a palace slave girl. This is the story of King Basheer and his love for his lost daughter, Kismet. The story begins with the violent raid of a small tribe by the monstrous Elkot raiders, leaving only one young girl, Absa, in its wake, mute from the tragedies she has witnessed. While walking through the desert Absa is rescued and taken in by Prince Shams and his wife Maya. Consequently, the couple begins to rescue baby girls from death, including Kismet, the daughter of King Basheer of Arbad, who lost his child to a palace scandal involving his beloved slave Jasmin. In the hands of Prince Shams and Maya, the girls grow up into strong empowered women who seize their destiny through skill and commitment. As they mature, they excel in combat and don beards as a disguise when ridding the desert of vicious gangs in their military force of over 400 warriors. Kasem (i.e. Kismet disguised during battle as the leader of the female army) isn't recognized when she and the girls go up against some city dwellers and the tribe of Beni Zedan. Kismet finds that the Chief of Beni Zedan is none other than her uncle who attempted the life of her half-brother, Amir Badr, the son of King Basheer, in order to avenge the death of both her and her mother, Jasmin. Follow the pages of Kismet In The Sand and discover the tragic love of King Basheer and his lost daughter, Kismet, and to journey with girls of Shams as they fight for their future, uncovering their identity in a tale of love, loss and destiny.
