WORLD LEADERS CONDEMN

President-elect Barack Obama and UN chief Ban ki-moon led the global community condemnation of the terror attacks in Mumbai and called on the nations of the world to work together to "root out and destroy terrorist networks".
At least 80 people, including Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare, were killed when terrorists struck with impunity in Mumbai in coordinated multiple blasts and gunfire in a dozen areas across the city.
"These coordinated attacks on innocent civilians demonstrate the grave and urgent threat of terrorism," Obama's Chief National security Spokesperson Brooke Anderson said in a statement. "The United States must continue to strengthen our partnerships with India and nations around the world to root out and destroy terrorist networks," he said.
"We stand with the people of India, whose democracy will prove far more resilient than the hateful ideology that led to these attacks," Anderson added. In a statement, the US State Department condemned the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. "We are monitoring the situation very closely and stand ready to support the Indian authorities as they deal with this horrific series of attacks. At this point, we are unaware of any American casualties," it added.
The UN chief also strongly condemned the attacks, saying "such violence is totally unacceptable." He said that no cause or grievance can justify indiscriminate attacks against civilians and called for the perpetrators of the attacks to be brought to justice. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the "outrageous" attacks will be met with a "vigorous response".
"I have sent a message to Prime Minister (Manmohan) Singh that the UK stands solidly with his government as they respond," Brown said, adding the UK is ready to offer all necessary help to India. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the attacks were a reminder of the threat from violent extremists. "Today's attacks in Mumbai which have claimed many innocent victims remind us, yet again, of the threat we face from violent extremists," he said."Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those killed and injured. The UK and India will continue their joint efforts to counter the actions of terrorists," he said. The European Union strongly condemned the attacks and expressed its "horror and indignation" at the series of shootings and blasts.
Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon condemned the attacks, saying "these cowardly attacks are truly appalling." "Canada strongly condemns the savage terrorist attacks in Mumbai, which have left hundreds of innocent civilians injured or killed," Cannon said. Britain's Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said: "When violent terrorism raises its ugly head, it is crucial that the international community stands together. Conservative leader David Cameron said his thoughts were with all those who had been caught up in the attacks. "India and Britain stand together at this time in the face of terrorism," he said. The British Foreign Office has also issued an emergency number for people with relatives in Mumbai: 0207 008 0000.

250 INJURED IN SERIAL TERROR STRIKES IN SOUTH MUMBAI

A terrorist, claiming to belong to Deccan Mujaheddin, told India TV over telephone a few minutes ago that there were seven of them inside Taj hotel, and they would die fighting the commandos. The terrorist, Shahadullah, claimed he was from Hyderabad, but his tone and tenor did not appear to be that of a Hyderabadi. The terrorist made allegations about perceived injustice meted out to Muslims. The terrorist abruptly terminated the cal, even as army commandos entered the Taj hotel. Some of the terrorists are watching news tv channels in the Taj hotel rooms to find out what's happening in the world outside.

100 KILLED, 250 INJURED IN SERIAL TERROR STRIKES IN SOUTH MUMBAI

Heavily armed terrorists struck at the heart of India's financial capital on Wednesday night causing mayhem and murders, with 100 persons killed and more than 250 killed, as last reports came in. A senior Railway police official said that more than 10 persons were killed and 30 people were injured in Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (VT station) alone, where terrorists sprayed bullets from AK 47 rifles on late evening rush crowd of railway commuters. Two bodies were brought to Cama hospital. The other major attack took place in a taxi number MH 01 D7792 in Ville Parle in which at least five persons were killed. The first attack took place at around 9.40 pm in south Mumbai's Leopold Cafe in Colaba, a favourite hangout for foreigners. The terrorist attacks on the eve of arrival of IPL teams in Mumbai on Thursday indicate that the terrorists were planning to strike terror in the heart of India's financial capital. Some terrorists were reported still holed up inside Oberoi hotel, where firing was still continuing. Some terrorists also entered Taj hotel, but firing has stopped there.
Carefully coordinated serial explosions and indiscriminate firing rocked eight areas across Mumbai including the crowded CST railway station, two five star hotels--Oberoi and Taj-- leaving 20 persons dead and 50 injured.
Armed with AK-47 rifles and grenades, a couple of terrorists entered the passenger hall of CST and opened fire and threw grenades, Mumbai General Railway Police Commissioner A K Sharma said.
The terror strike which began at 1033 PM at Chhatrapathi Shivaji Terminus(CST),formerly known as the Victoria Terminus(VT), claimed 10 lives in the premises of the station alone, police said. Three persons were killed in a bomb explosion in a taxi on Mazegaon dockyard road and an equal number were gunned down at Taj Hotel. The victim in the hotel were its employees.
The lobby of the Oberoi hotel was on fire and the hotel evacuated, eyewitnesses said

Love

Love is a strange thing. It can be the most amazing feeling in the world, or it can really hurt, but in the end love is something most, if not all of us, will face. While there are many different ways to define love and there are many different ways to love someone (even yourself), here is a general guide to loving।
सम टिप्स

Say it. When you say the words "I Love You," do they carry it with them the desire to show someone you love them or do they carry it with them is it what you want to feel? And when you say it make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person
Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Rather than impose your own expectations or attempt to control them, try to understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are; and realize how they could also love you back just as well.
Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others). If your interest is not in the other person as such, but rather in how that person can enhance your experience of life, then it is not unconditional. If you have no intention of improving that person’s life, or allowing that person to be themselves and accepting them as they are, and not who you want them to be, then you are not striving to love them unconditionally.
Expect nothing in return. That doesn't mean you should allow someone to mistreat or undervalue you. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Try loving just for loving's sake. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you; do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
Realize it can be lost। If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love.

The circle of music

Parikrama has been there creating music for the last 17 years and has come a long way. Formed on 17 June, 1991, the band draws inspiration from Rock Machine, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Doors, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix and AC/DC amongst many others. They've performed in over 1,500 venues and when WAVE got in touch with the band for an x'clusive interview, the band was in the diwali mood and was preparing to rock Nepal on 7 and 8 November. We look forward to the rocking concert Parikrama! And now the interview follows….
What is Parikrama's music all about?Parikrama's music, traditionally, had been Blues based rock, more like classic rock. But we changed it a bit last year when Iron Maiden took us for a 25-day UK tour and we ended up playing in many concerts including the Download Festival. Accordingly, we added shades of metal to our newer originals to suit the tour.
How did you end up naming your band "Parikrama" and why?We wanted to keep a Hindi name, for no apparent reason. It was quite uncommon in those days as well. Nitin came up with the name and we all liked it because we could relate to it immensely as it denotes the circle of life and the theory of karma. Hence, the name!
Rate Indus Creed, Pentagram and Parikrama in terms of their music.Indus Creed is a legend for us. They were the original rockers and we respect them immensely. If they ever re-group and no matter how big-a-band we become, we will always be open to them for concerts. We are not really into electronica as such, so don't know much regarding Pentagram's music but they are a good act. As for Parikrama, please do the rating.
You have not released any albums yet, why is that? Do you have any plans of taking one out?Parikrama always had a different marketing strategy. We release our tracks for free on www.parikrama.com and let people download it. We realised quite early on that we cannot make money from album sales so we followed this strategy. Till date, we have close to six million downloads. People download our tracks, and if they like us they call us for shows. Today, the whole world is doing the same thing we did 13 years ago. Look at AC/DC, Coldplay, Radiohead and many more. And yes, we are planning to release an album. More so because our fans are after our asses; they want a proper album with cover/snaps and all. So let's see.
You've played alongside Iron Maiden four times, how did it feel? You also toured with Saif Ali Khan. Please share your experience with us. Iron Maiden are probably the most humble and chilled out band we've ever met. They are idols to many but still so down-to-earth. It was like a 'lifetime achievement' award kind of feeling for all of us. It was brilliant! And Saif is a rocker. He knows more lyrics then we do. He is a dedicated musician and is always eager to learn. But you have to understand that he is an actor and plays guitar just for passion. But it was great!
You've performed in Nepal before. How did it feel playing for the crowd here? You know, it was us who actually called Deependra and told him shamelessly that we wanted to play in Nepal. We can't tell you how excited we are to be performing again because the people in Nepal truly understand music.

Skin that glows

You don't have to leave the four walls of your room or your kitchen to have your skin looking and feeling like a supple baby-bottom. In fact, you can snuggle up on a sophisticated arm chair, prop up your feet and have your little sister/brother, who knows absolutely nothing about skin care do the dirty work for you. All you need are the basic materials that will generally be placed in one of the cabinets of your kitchen, and all you have to do is go find them, mix and apply away to glory!
First, you need to figure out whether your skin type is oily, dry or combination. Once you've got that sorted, choose one of the three sections with the skin treatment that will work best for you.
For oily skinOily skin attracts a lot of dirt so you would do well to wash your face regularly with a cleanser. Don't make the mistake of using moisturising creams. Instead, use water-based creams, because oily skin doesn't need more nourishing.
Skin that's oily works well with egg whites. The best face pack is a mixture of egg whites, which also help tighten skin, and honey. Blend the mixture and apply, and leave for 15 minutes. Wash with a face-wash.
Another way to keep your face clean and refreshed is by splashing cold water on your face 3-4 times a day. Put a bowl of water in the fridge. The cold water also helps tighten your pores. Another cleanser is papaya pulp. When applied, it softens dead skin and helps shed them.
Instead of cringing on-stage after a bad performance, you would do well to lift your chin and let the tomatoes splatter on your face. Because, believe it or not, a paste of tomatoes when applied, is good for oily skin.
For dry skinIf you've got dry skin, don't use a face-wash too often (or don't use it at all). Instead, use a rich cream cleanser – which could mean the one in stores, or just some milk. Milk is a good cleanser, and also nourishes your skin. Leave it on the skin for a while, and when you're done wash it off with plain water and use a mild face tonic.
A good way to rejuvenate dry chapped skin is washing your face with watermelon juice. Instead of using it on your thirst, use it on parched skin with a splash once a week and you'll see marked improvement. In fact, a friend once told me that her skin got better because she just made it a point to rub her wet hands over her skin after eating fruits!
Another good tip is that you mustn't over-expose your skin to the sun. You may think you're doing well by sleeping on the terrace smothered in oil, but 'limit' is key.
While oily skin benefits from egg whites, dry skin benefits from egg yolk. A face pack mixed with egg yolk, two tablespoons of milk and half a teaspoon of honey, left on the skin for 15 minutes and washed with lukewarm water, will nourish your skin. After washing your face, remember to top it off with a nourishing cream.
For combination skinIf you're blessed with combination skin, you need to learn to strike a balance between the two treatment methods: nourish your skin, but not too much, cleanse it but not excessively. If your skin already feels great to touch, you can make it glow by eating right. A diet with three servings of vegetables, three servings of fruit and lots of fresh juice and water will serve you well and will do what no amount of face cream will do.
