It was in October 2006, that i first came in contact with Kaltoum. She accepted my request and then for more then a month i received no messages or email's from her. Thinking that maybe she doesn't want to continue. I moved on. However, i did add her to my contact list on an address, she gave to me in her first and last reply. I almost forgot about her, until one day I saw her online. I just wanted to say "HI" and see if she still remembers me after couple of months. Just as i expected she didn't recognize me. Anyways, we got to talking and she apologized for not being able to stay in touch because of her busy work schedule. That was the first time we ever had a conversation and time flew by. After 2 hours of chatting we realized that something has surely happened. We felt something but were not sure as how to explain it. Before i met Kaltoum, i had some really bad experiences at Shaadi.com. I almost gave up on idea of finding a soul mate on Internet (yes i do believe in soul mate). I was so close to deleting my profile. But like they say everything happens for a reason. Just in one week of chatting and phone calls, she expressed her love for me. I felt the same and asked her if its possible for us to meet. She was in Paris and i was in India. So it wasn't going to be easy. Also, because she is Muslim and i am Hindu/Sikh, we knew the road ahead of us will be full of many problems and hardships. But we were determined and promised each other that no matter what happens, we won't give up. After agonizing 6 months and facing lots of problems, finally we are together and getting married in July 2007. My family loves her and we don't have enough words to express how we are feeling right now. All I can say is that if love is true, it can overcome all barriers of caste, color and religion. Nothing could stop us. Nothing could change our love for each other. Allah, Ram or Jesus... all are the names for the same GOD. So always believe in that ONE GOD and never give up. Because trust me, there is some one out there made just for you. Who can tell you that better then me? I have experienced it and its true. Shaadi.com I wish I could thank you enough. But I can't. You have given me the most valuable gift of my life. My Kaltoum. Thanks and God bless you all. Regards, Karan & Kaltoum
