Known to many as Ted, Rustom was an avid hunter who enjoyed hanging out with his friends, driving to their small businesses, drinking coffee and watching TV. He lived to pray and see his children prosper.
Before being hospitalized, Rustom experienced a fever and shortness of breath. He then tested positive for COVID-19. After a virtual call, a visit to the emergency room and being sent back home with antibiotics, he returned to the hospital as his symptoms became worse. He died 4 weeks later.

Rustom is a 2016 Indian Hindi crime thriller film directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and written by Vipul K Rawal. The film is jointly produced by Cape of Good Films, Zee Studios, KriArj Entertainment, Plan C Studios. It stars Akshay Kumar as Rustom Pavri - a naval officer, Ileana D'Cruz, Arjan Bajwa and Esha Gupta in lead roles. The film is loosely based on the K. M. Nanavati v. State of Maharashtra court case,[3][4] and narrates the story of naval officer Rustom, who shares a happy relationship with his wife Cynthia. Soon, he discovers her affair with Vikram, a close friend, and is accused of murdering him.
Officer Rustom Pavri is happily married to Cynthia Pavri in 1959, 12 years after the independence from the British colonial government. Their marriage hits the rocks when he discovers that she is having an affair with his friend Vikram Makhija. After returning early from his ship's deployment, Rustom discovers Vikram's love letters in Cynthia's cupboard. While trying to find her, Rustom sees them together. He returns home and waits for Cynthia to return and then confronts her with the love letters, but walks away before Cynthia can explain. Rustom then gets himself a pistol from the naval ship's armory and makes a trunk call to Defence Secretary K. G. Bakshi at Defence HQ, New Delhi. Afterwards, he searches for Vikram, first in his office and then at his home. After Rustom enters Vikram's bedroom, the servant hears three gunshots and rushes to the room, to discover Vikram killed with three bullets on his chest and Rustom walking away with the pistol in his hand. Rustom immediately surrenders to the police and Senior Inspector Vincent Lobo starts the investigation.
Vikram's sister Preeti Makhija meets with the public prosecutor, Lakshman Khangani to get Rustom the toughest punishment possible. Rustom refuses anybody's help and decides to fight the case on his own and prefers police custody. Rustom's senior naval officer, Rear Admiral Prashant Kamath, sends two goons to his house to search for a set of documents, but they fail to find anything. Scared, Cynthia rushes to jail to inform Rustom, who finally meets and listens to Cynthia's story, about how she was lonely and upset when Rustom went away to London for many months. With the connivance of Preeti, Vikram took advantage of Cynthia's loneliness and she fell for him. However, on the day of Vikram's murder, Cynthia had already broken-up with him for the sake of her marriage. She was slapped by Vikram after she broke up with him and got injured and walked out of Vikram's house.
The next day, Rustom is declared not guilty by the judge and the jury. Rustom and Cynthia walk out of the court with their heads held up high. The film ends with the Rustom and Cynthia couple on vacation after getting all Bakshi's commission money that Rustom got from Bakshi (involved in the deal at high level) for cutting the tape half. Rustom learned the result of the purchase after reading in the local newspaper about the carrier arriving in India in a robust condition, just as he had wished.
The Rustom production filmed on location in Kent in April 2016 for the romantic montage where Rustom (Akshay Kumar) and Cynthia (Ileana D'Cruz) visit England including The Chequers Inn pub in Aylesford, Canterbury, Maidstone, Leeds Castle, Dover seafront and South Foreland Lighthouse. The Historic Dockyard Chatham also features for the naval port and ship scenes.[9]
Kumar and Twinkle Khanna were sent legal notices for auctioning the costume worn by Kumar to portray the role of a naval officer. They were accused of "playing with the sentiments" of the armed forces.[10]
The first song from the film's soundtrack album, "Tere Sang Yaara", sung by Atif Aslam and composed by Arko was released on 6 July 2016.[15] The second track of the film, titled "Rustom Vahi" was released on 13 July 2016. All lyrics are penned by Manoj Muntashir. The full music album was released on 14 July 2016.
Before fleeing the war in Syria in 2014 I had a pretty normal life. I was born and raised in Abu Dhabi and then continued my studies in Damascus. I worked there in the financial sector, first in customer-facing roles for two years and then at the same company as a compliance officer. I had opportunities to learn, grow and advance in my career. That all changed when I escaped Syria in 2014 and came to Malaysia. Malaysia is not a signatory of the 1951 Refugee Convention which means refugees are not granted the right to work. Before joining PartnerHero my career was on pause, I had a volunteer job as a translator with refugees; I was able to make minimum wage but really missed the challenge and personal growth associated with having a career.
During the conflict years from 2012-2014 there were air bombings and suicide bombings almost every month. There were times when I had to run for my life during gunfire exchange. My family moved constantly to avoid airstrikes and armed groups infiltration. Our main concern was safety; the armed group that took control of the area where we lived was an extremist group that killed people based on their religious sect. Because of my name, they thought we belonged to a certain sect and we received threats to be killed if we ever returned to the area. Lucky for us we left the place before that group took control and we never returned.
My family is in a unique situation, my grandparents fled Palestine in 1948. They settled in Syria and, while they could live and work there, they were never granted citizenship. That status was passed on to my parents and then to me. Syrian citizens who became refugees were able to settle in nearby countries like Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey but without Syrian citizenship we were in a precarious situation and we needed to escape quickly. Our options were limited. Some acquaintances recommended Malaysia, telling us it was a safe country. Considering our lack of statehood and the urgency with which we needed to leave Syria we decided to go.
To people who are not refugees I would say that refugees are just people, human beings. Anyone could be a refugee or could become a refugee. Sometimes you become a refugee as a result of a long lasting conflict. Other times, it happens overnight. To those who stereotype refugees, please understand that refugees are just you and me. They are human beings with potential, with dreams and goals and passion. They have skills, they come from all different levels of society, they have the good and bad. They are human beings of all sorts. Just put yourself in their shoes, imagine that this could happen to you.

rustom...@emory.edu I am interested in developing a quantitative understanding of the dynamics of pathogens and immune responses. The work of my group involves the use of mathematical models and computer simulations. We like nothing better than to validate models by confronting them with experimental data --- we try to make testable predictions, and in collaboration with experimentalists conduct the relevant experiments. We work in close collaboration with experimental immunologists, in particular the group of Dr. Rafi Ahmed at Emory and Dr. Joseph Blattman at ASU. Currently the group consists of Veronika Zarnitsyna and Philip Johnson.
I am interested in developing a quantitative understanding of the dynamics of pathogens and immune responses. Some of my work involves large conceptual questions: why are immune systems are so complex? Is this complexity adaptive (arising from the requirement of generating robust responses to diverse pathogens) or is it simply a result of evolutionary history. Most of the time my group works closely with experimental immunologists to understand the dynamics of immune responses. Our contribution involves the use of mathematical models and computer simulations to help with the formulation of hypotheses, the design of experiments to test these hypotheses, and the interpretation of experimental data. Our main areas of investigation are:1. The dynamics of infections and immune responses:How do immune systems work? What determines whether an infection is short lived or chronic, and whether it generates lasting immunity? The answers to questions could help us design better vaccines, particularly towards emerging infections such as pandemic influenza as well as persistent infections such as malaria and HIV.2. Linking immunology and epidemiology:We have developed a theoretical framework to connect the within-host dynamics of a pathogen with its transmission characteristics. We have used this framework to understand why pathogens harm their hosts, and under what conditions we expect a pathogens virulence to change. We are currently applying this framework to understand immunological surrogates of protection following vaccination. We are also interested in roles of ecological and evolutionary changes in the emergence of new pathogens. The answers to these questions gives us an insight into the factors that have led to the emergence of HIV, SARS, and influenza, and might help us predict future pandemics.
