both her hands tucked on her waist.
Priyanka is seen exchanging garlands with women folk in the April page and the next page shows her talking to women as she keeps both her hands above a wooden log erected to
separate her and her fans.

thought and comforting an old woman.

What Was In the mind of Kasab ?

When Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving terrorist behind Mumbai attacks was captured, he became an object of interest as he could not just give valuable clues about the masterminds of the attack and the modus operandi of Pakistan based Jihadis, but a study of his psychology could also provide an insight into the minds of the brainwashed and conditioned Fidayeen attackers.

A deep analysis of the various tests on Ajmal Kasab revealed shocking outcomes and enabled in construing correctly the gradual metamorphosis of this destitute Pakistani boy into a ruthless militant, besides throwing light on the entire set up, thriving under the Pakistan government’s wings that works day and night to manufacture more and more Jihadis with the raw material derived from the country’s poorest provinces.

July 1998

Graffiti on the yellow wall outside my village Faridkot in Punjab is the first thing that comes to my mind whenever I close my eyes and ruminate.

Go For Jihad….Go For Jihad...Markaz Dawat ul Irshad

My father makes very little money by selling dahi puri. Whatever he had was spent in sister Rukaiyya’s wedding. I detest my brother Afzal, who works as a labourer day and night and brings home so little. Munir, Surriya and I constantly fight…….

September 2003

My parents forced me to join Afzal….but I can’t be a labourer…I returned and am lazing around…they can feed one more mouth…

3rd Nov 2005, Eid

I had a bitter fight with my father. He was unable to provide me with the clothes I had demanded. I am going away…to find means to become rich…

2006

I and friend Muzaffar Ali Khan are making a lot of money. They say I have fallen in bad company, but robbery is something that gives you quick bucks and the risk is minimal. Here you can easily get away with any crime as long as you keep the police happy.

Dec 21, 2007, Bakrid

It turned out to be an important day. While haggling over the price of weapons in the market (unlike India, here they are freely available, though rules speak otherwise) we met some workers of Jama’at –ud -Da’wah, the political wing of Lashkar. They gave us some pamphlets that they were distributing. They promised us fame, money and glory if we joined their base camp at Markaz Taiba. We agreed.

My father would not mind it too so long as I gave him money. Though later I gathered that he said on TV- ‘I don’t sell my sons.” Liar…!

March- April 2008

We were taken to a remote mountainous area of Muzaffarabad and then to Mangla Dam area and given training in various types of warfare. We were a batch of 24 men. It was fun!

The Training

We were given a crash course in terror attack in Daura Aam.

I was selected for specialised training in Daura Khas at Mansehra. General Saheb supervised us here.
Experienced military men of Pakistan Army and ISI trained us in sophisticated warfare. They made us watch repeatedly videos of Hindu atrocities in Kashmir…and brutal treatment meted out to Muslims in Palestine to Chechnya. The footages showed nothing unusual that we did not witness in our land daily, but somehow the trainers at our camp were able to generate a lot of hatred within us.

But more than the hatred it was money that mattered. Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi offered my family Rs 1, 50,000 if I participated in the attacks. Besides, all we had to do was to wield the gun, our safety was guaranteed as all arrangements had already been made.

Out of 25, ten of us were chosen for Mumbai Mission.

Mumbai Mission

The aim was to avenge the atrocities on our brethren (I still am not sure about these so called atrocities and how we were affected by it) and to replicate 9/11 type attacks. Nariman will be targeted for its Jewish connections and Taj is to suffer the fate of Marriott.

Mid 2008

I have been given stylish clothes, money, fancy watches and stylish bags. Unable to contain the urge to show them off to my family and neighbourhood, I literally begged to be allowed to go home. Hope was dim as after providing this kind of training we are rarely allowed to go home lest we spill the secret beans. But then, there are many open secrets in my mulk!

I have been given permission to visit Faridkot…but for a very short duration and along with two army men in disguise.

Passage to India

It didn’t turn out to be difficult at all. The country has practically no surveillance in its waters. We boarded Al-Husseini (the boat) from Karachi in Pakistan to come to Mumbai. Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Abu Jindal and Abu Hamza came to see us off. We carried ration and oil (fuel). Later, we shifted to Indian fishing trawler 'Kuber' and slit the throat of its navigator.

Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus

My Versace designer label T-shirt and stylish cargos stole away the attention from my luggage which had rifles and ammunition. Clothes make such a hell lot of a difference!

Ismail and I managed to kill nearly 50 unsuspecting travellers in Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus. It was blood all over. At first I felt slightly giddy. But Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and Yusuf Muzammil’s encouragement over phone boosted our confidence.

Cama Hospital

We fired randomly on a police vehicle, killing on spot three senior police officials clad in bullet-proofs! One was ATS Chief Karkare, the other was Encounter Specialist Salaskar and the third was Additional Commissioner Kamte.

We took two constables as hostages.

Metro Cinema, Vidhan Bhavan

We fired a few shots at the crowd at Metro cinema and Vidhan Bhavan just for the fun of it! In the meanwhile Ismail shot one of the constables when his mobile rang.

Chowpatty

Reaching Chowpatty was not in our plan. But police had got the message and they nailed us here. Ismail died in the gun fight that followed. I pretended to be dead and when a sub inspector (Tukaram Omble) armed just with a lathi tried to capture me, I pumped five bullets in his body, but he held on to my weapon till his colleagues captured me!

A mob gathered and attacked my vehicle. I was scared to death!

Hospital

I had killed hundreds in a night, but the death of Ismail and the pain due to the bullet lodged in my arm took all my wits away. All I wanted at that moment was to live..! “Put me on saline…I do not want to die”, I pleaded with the hospital staff.

But when the police began to grill me, I realized what I had landed into and sincerely wished to die! I was supposed to be a Fidayeen who is never captured alive…but I was..!

In Jail

My name is not Kasab. I am Amir Ajmal and I belong to Kasav (butcher) caste. It angers me when they call me by this name.

I have told them everything. May be they can leave me if I turn approver.

I told them I can work for India also if I am paid well.

I have told them that I will speak only before the camera.

They asked me about jihad. I told them what I was taught, that you kill in jihad and become rich and famous.

No lawyer is ready to fight for me.

I am pained and shocked. My own Pakistan’s Prime Minister refuses to admit that I belong to his country. Then where do I belong to?

No one has yet contacted me. No one has attempted to free me.

I feel like a lab animal.

They asked me to recite verses from Quran. But I have never read it!
Time and again I am taken to the court. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry. Showing that I am mentally deranged may help me.

I can ask for anything, do any thing. This is a country where every one has ample rights-even militants like me. I want everything on camera so that the human rights people can fight for me!

I have demanded basmati rice. I abuse openly and fight with the staff here. I like doing so…..

They have coaxed me to read Gandhi, thinking I will change!

I have accused the jail authorities of giving me drug laced food. I know all that I say in court is splashed by media…

Almost all witnesses have identified me. The CCTV cameras have my footage, killing and rampaging. I had confessed earlier hoping for some respite and also hoping that the Pakistan Generals would rescue me. But all my hopes have been frustrated. I have understood that Fidayeens are not supposed to live…

Did they use me in the name of religion; did they exploit my poverty and vulnerable age? I was trained like an army man, entrusted with a task which they said inspired respect and would make Islam proud, I felt like a hero…..but they made me a villain, a killer, a terrorist!

And now they are not ready to acknowledge me…my father, mother, villagers, friends…all deny my existence!

I feel horrified thinking that the bodies of the ‘martyrs of Islam’ are rotting in an enemy state…and the advocates of religion are moving freely, enjoying, making public appearances, giving lectures and converting more and more Kasabs into mindless robots ready to kill, avenge and destroy beings so lovingly created by Allah….

Meet Tendulkar's biggest Fan

It won't be wrong to call Mary Serrao the biggest and most passionate fan Sachin Tendulkar has had in the 20 years he has played international cricket.

If sharing her birthday with the master batsman is not enough, the 86-year-old celebrates every important landmark Tendulkar achieves.

On Sunday, when Sachin completed 20 years in international cricket, Mary was the happiest person in the world, perhaps even more than the cricketing legend and his family.

The moment she realised that November 15 was when he would cross the milestone Mary started planning for the big day.

She organised a party at her home, summoned family members from across the city and distributed sweets to her neighbours.

"But the most important thing was that we made fish curry. Tendulkar loves fish curry so much," Mary told rediff.com.

How Dare you! Dhoni & co celebrate with wine&women

Dhoni and pals take a beating after television channel News X show them partying after Thursday's loss in Hyderabad

Photographs from a Hyderabad hotel aired by the television channel NewsX, has shown captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and some of his famous teammates enjoying the company of male and female admirers at a party which the channel claimed was held after India lost to Australia by three runs in Hyderabad on Thursday.

The loss put India 2-3 behind in the series before Dhoni's Indians succumbed meekly in Guwahati on Sunday to lose the home series. The seventh and final match is scheduled to be played in Navi Mumbai today.

The channel reported yesterday that the party was held within hours of the thrilling match which witnessed an epic innings of 175 from Sachin Tendulkar, whose effort went in vain due to to some careless bowling, fielding and batting by his teammates.

On a special show aired last night, channel guest Bishan Singh Bedi, the former India captain said that it was not unusual for players to let their hair down in a party. "Nothing wrong with it. After all, they are all adults," he said. But when the show host asked whether it was the right thing to do in the midst of an important series, Bedi remarked, "Now that is a big question mark."

Bedi wondered whether this was the reason why players were against the World Anti Doping Agency's whereabouts clause in the International Cricket Council's anti-doping procedure. He also seemed amazed as to how the Board was behind its players who refused to give out their whereabouts after play.

Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra and rookie Ravindra Jadeja feature in the photographs.

Journalist Gulu Ezekiel, the second guest on the show, refused to slam the players for their decision to party, but was amazed how fresh they could get after an energy-sapping match. The channel identified fast bowler Pravin Kumar as a smoker at the party.

A few former players whom MiD DAY contacted said they had not seen the shots, so were in no position to comment. However, former captain Chandu Borde, who managed Indian teams in the past, the latest instance being the 2007 tour of England, felt that it was time the Board appoints a permanent manager who would ensure discipline.

At the moment, the manager's post for every tour is distributed as rewards for votes in BCCI elections. No manager is appointed for a home series.

Cricket fans in Mumbai were not impressed too. Sandip Mehta, a businessman said: "Play hard, party hard but do that only after a victory. If you lose, go out for a quiet meal or better still, stay in your room and indulge in some introspection."

Ramji Dharod, a former Mumbai club cricketer, said that the most shocking aspect of the photographs shown on television was the sight of Dhoni. "If what we saw on television is true (that the cricketers attended a party after the Hyderabad defeat) then it is very sad. As captain, these public appearances don't do his image good. It doesn't send out the right kind of signals especially to your juniors," he said.

Sachin Tendulkar favours use of maximum technology for accurate decisions

Indian star batsman Sachin Tendulkar said that maximum technology should be used in cricket to make the umpire's task more accurate

Umpires should be left to adjudge only leg-before decisions while technology takes care of the rest, according to Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar.

"It is tough for the umpires to watch the no-balls and watch what's happening in the front," he was quoted as saying on the 'India Today' website.

"For basic line decisions, like no-balls and run outs, you must have a laser or something like that. Something like what you have in tennis to decide serves.

"You can call it (a no-ball) with a machine."

Tendulkar, 36, who begins his 21st year in international cricket next month, even advocated rotating on-field umpires every session of a Test match to give them adequate rest, but denounced the referral system.

Tendulkar, a veteran of 159 Tests and 431 one-day internationals, said bat-pad decisions can be relied on television X-ray technology called "hot spots" which clearly illustrates the first point of contact of the ball -- either pad or bat.

"They should use the hot spot for bat-pad decisions, so the main umpire has to make only the leg-before calls," he said. "I'm quite happy with the hot spot because that establishes the contact.

"For caught behind and all, the hot spot will come. Close-in catches, again the hot spot will come. You don't need a machine for clean bowled, so only the leg-before decisions is what the umpire has to concentrate on."

Tendulkar, the world's most prolific batsman, said three on-field umpires should be nominated so that they can take turns to rest for a session of a Test.

But he did not support the new referral system, where umpires get help from a colleague watching television replays to adjudicate on close decisions.

Sexual favours top Diwali bonuses for gangsters

Diwali is a time when most of Mumbai's gangsters want to renew their bonds with the shooters and buy their loyalties. Money is distributed to gang members so that their families can celebrate a lavish Diwali. This year, 'dry fruit' has sent only a small mithai-ka-dabba to their tiklis, thanks to the global slowdown and heat turned on by Mumbai police. 'Dry fruit' refers to the don and mithai-ka-dabba is the bonus sent to members of the gang on the eve of Diwali and tiklis are the shooters.

"Gangsters holed up overseas usually try to call their relatives and speak to them during the festival season. In some cases, they arrange for their family members to slip away to secret destinations abroad to meet them. Normally, they gamble and drink,'' says Rakesh Maria, Joint Commissioner of Police, crime.
Lock up festivities
"Diwali is a time when dons don't want to disappoint. Gangsters usually get nostalgic and emotional during festivals. A lapse would be taken very seriously,'' informs a former prison inmate and gang member. Chhota Rajan allegedly ensures that his men in prisons are given a lavish treatment. A grand spread is arranged with biryani topping the menu list. Almost all the members are also provided with new clothes especially jeans, informs a source.

In turn, this gangster Diwali spells bonus time for the jail staff too. Gangs allegedly have to pay steep taxes for every item smuggled into the jail. Insiders inform that most of the demands are for a pair of jeans, T-shirts, sport shoes and branded whiskey. It is boom time for dabbawallas too, who provide food to the gangs. The menu lists are often upgraded so it's a windfall for the cooks and errand boys.

Gangster turned cooks
If the gangster is in hiding, most of the time is spent indoors, allegedly gambling and consuming liquor. Call girl bookings also shoot up during Diwali. In fact, most gangsters, especially those who belong to the Chhota Rajan gang are great cooks, reveals a source. The coterie of cooks get together to whip up a feast. While Rajan prefers to sit on a sofa or bed, his cronies sit on the floor. A long session of ragging often precedes dinner and drinks during festival.

Diwali rokda
The gangs usually go on a collection drive few days before the Diwali. The money usually comes from the dhoors or targets. The most common targets are builders and jewellers, whose sales go up during the festival. Bar owners also contribute to the gang's coffers.

Gawli's celebrations
Members of the Arun Gawli gang are allegedly entitled to bonuses as most of his associates are on a regular pay roll. Clothes and sweets are distributed among associates and family members. This is in addition to the cash bonus.

Police party
Some corrupt cops also get ready to party during Diwali as some of the extortion money gained from the targets is allegedly passed onto the police, considered to be 'white collared' associates by the gangsters. While some corrupts officers are allegedly gifted cars and apartments, constables are gifted cash to buy clothes and merchandise like televisions and refrigerators. There is money for the local police station staff too, reveal sources. This is to ensure that they go soft on members of their gang.

Aishwarya-Yuvraj most dangerous Indian celebs in cyberspace

Searching for the latest celebrity news and downloads can cause serious damage to one’s personal computer. Cricketer Yuvraj Singh and Bollywood beauty Aishwariya Rai are the most ‘dangerous’ Indian celebrities to search in cyberspace, according to internet security company McAfee. For the second time in a row, McAfee researched India’s glamorous celebrities from the world of cinema, cricket and politics to reveal the most risky celebrities on the web.

Fans searching for “Yuvraj Singh downloads” or “Yuvaraj Singh wallpapers,” “Yuvraj Singh photos”, “Aishwariya Rai wallpapers”, “Aishwariya Rai screen savers” and “Aishwariya Rai videos” have a one in five chance of landing at a website that has tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.

Cricketers M S Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh rank third and sixth in the list, giving some serious competition to Bollywood celebrities to grab the most dangerous web celeb title. It only proves the point that the successful and controversial stars are hot favourites amongst criminals of the Internet. McAfee compiled its second annual list using McAfee SiteAdvisor technology for celebrity names that produce the largest number of risky sites and overall risk percentage, when searched on the Web.

“Cricket and Bollywood are two subjects about which every Indian is passionate about. It is no surprise that cybercriminals capitalise on celebrities from the world of sports and cinema to lure innocent fans to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise,” said Kartik Shahani, Regional Director – India, McAfee.

Yuvraj Singh and Kim Sharma revive their affair?

Has Yuvraj Singh continued remaining a foot loose single dude after his break up with Deepika Padukone or has he gone back to his ex girlfriend Kim Sharma for good is the question on everyone’s mind whoever have seen the couple hitting Mumbai’s hottest spots together. Our source spotted them just days back at a Mumbai café.
He recalls, “Yuvraj Singh drove his car around the popular suburban Mumbai cafe a few times before him stepping out and entering it. He then entered the cafe only a couple of minutes before his on-and-off girlfriend Kim arrived in a chauffeur-driven car. The two were seen chatting over endless cups of coffee. While they seemed quite comfortable with each other, onlookers sensed that the two were consciously maintaining a distance from each other.”
Our source continues, “It looked like the couple was consciously trying to be discreet in public, so they stayed at an arm’s length from each other. When it was time to leave however, Yuvi held Kim’s hand and walked her to his car and took her on a drive, while Kim’s car followed them around.”
