Kareena Kapoor :Shahid Kapoor is dating teen

Shahid Dates Kareena

How does it feel to see the woman in your life with different partners every Friday? That too in wide-screen glory? Ask Shahid Kapur who is struggling to keep reel and real love apart.
I don't like Kareena in someone else's arms: Shahid

Shahid, who is dating teen heartthrob Kareena Kapoor, admits he's uncomfortable when his ladylove has to run around trees and romance other co-stars in her films. The experience of Fida, Chameli, Hulchul and Aitraaz has been absolutely galling, the actor says.
"How can a lover feel good when he sees his sweetheart in someone else's arms? Although I don't like it, what can I do? Both of us happen to be in a profession where this is a requirement. I am pained each time I see Kareena in someone else's arms. It is difficult for me to accept the situation. But think I will get used to it after some time," he says.

Aamir turns down Adlabs' 60 crore offer?

The news is that Aamir Khan has turned down a three-film offer worth Rs 60 crore from Adlabs. Aamir apparently refused to sign the contract as there was no proper script in place.
The actor has been offered good money even before. In fact, he is believed to have charged Rs 20 crore for Ghajini. So despite them offering him so much money, what went against the Adlabs offer was the fact that they did not have any story, or script in hand when they met Aamir. They simply told Aamir that he would have the freedom to choose three directors of his choice and Adlabs would back those projects. Initially, Adlabs had offered him Rs 50 crore for three films but when they found that Aamir was not willing, they decided to up it by another Rs 10 crore, but to no avail. The actor is believed to have been quite amused but he turned down the offer very politely. He told them he does not do film just for money and that the script was of paramount importance to him. The actor was paid Rs 8 crore for Bobby Bedi's The Rising; Rs 10 crore for UTV's Rang De Basanti, and Rs 10 core for Yash Raj's Fanaa. But just money has never been important for Aamir, one of the few actors who refuses to attend inauguration ceremonies, weddings and other events which can give him good money. He is only known to attend select events.

Mumbai under attack, 101 killed, 600 injured

Gunmen killed at least 101 people in a series of attacks in India's financial capital Mumbai and troops began moving into two five-star hotels on Thursday where Western hostages were being held, local television said.
Gunfire and explosions were heard at the landmark Taj Mahal hotel and thick plumes of smoke rose from the building, witnesses said. There were also explosions at the Oberoi hotel and firing at a hospital where gunmen were surrounded.
"The terrorists are throwing grenades at us from the rooftop of the Taj and trying to stop us from moving in," Ashok Patil, a police inspector said.
Police said at least 600 people were wounded in the attacks which also targeted a railway station and the Cafe Leopold, perhaps the most famous restaurant and hang-out for tourists in the city.
An organisation calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen said it was behind attacks, television channels said. The previously little known group sent an email to news organisations claiming responsibility.
"I guess they were after foreigners, because they were asking for British or American passports," said Rakesh Patel, a British witness who lives in Hong Kong and was staying at the Taj Mahal hotel on business. "They had bombs."
"They came from the restaurant and took us up the stairs," he told a TV news channel, smoke stains all over his face. "Young boys, maybe 20 years old, 25 years old. They had two guns."
India has suffered a wave of bomb attacks in recent years.
The latest attack, apparently aimed at least partly at prosperous Western tourists, is bound to spook investors in one of Asia's largest and fastest-growing economies.
Hemant Karkare, the chief of the police anti-terrorist squad in Mumbai, was killed during the attacks, police said.
"We have shot dead four terrorists and managed to arrest nine suspected terrorists," PD Ghadge, a police officer at Mumbai's central control room, told Reuters.
Japan's Foreign Ministry said one of its nationals was killed in the Mumbai attacks and one injured.
TRAPPED HOTEL GUESTS
Mark Abell, a British lawyer, said he had locked himself inside his Oberoi hotel room after hearing two explosions.
Several hundred people had been evacuated from the Taj hotel, one witness said, but many more remained inside, some calling for help from the fifth floor. Firefighters broke windows to reach trapped guests.
"We came down the fire exit, but I think they took some more people, they are trying to get to the roof," one foreigner told local television. "I think about 15 people (have been taken hostage), about half of them are foreigners."
In Washington, the White House and US President-elect Barack Obama condemned the attacks, as did France, current President of the European Union, and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
A European official was among the wounded.
"My hotel is surrounded by police and there are gunmen inside," European lawmaker Ignasi Guardans told Spanish radio from the Taj. "We are in contact with some deputies inside the hotel, with one in a room and another hidden in the kitchen. There's another official hurt and in hospital."
Indian Home Minister Shivraj Patil said there were around four or five attackers in each of the two hotels.
"They have attacked hotels, they have attacked the hospitals, they have attacked the railway station," he said.
KOREANS, EUROPEANS CAUGHT UP IN ATTACKS
A driver told Reuters at least 50 Koreans were stuck inside the Taj with their drivers waiting outside.
"We were just getting ready to pick them up, when we heard the first blast, police did not let us get past and they (the Koreans) are not answering the phones," Deepak Aswar, the driver said. Europeans were also caught up in the attacks.
"I was in the restaurant inside Oberoi and I saw this series of gunshots and death which I don't want to see again," a Spaniard who declined to give his name told Reuters.
"I crawled out into the kitchen and waited there, until I sensed it was all quiet and seemed over."
Maharashtra state police chief A.N. Roy said attackers had fired automatic weapons indiscriminately, and used grenades, adding that they were still holed up in some buildings.
Sourav Mishra, a Reuters reporter, was with friends at the Cafe Leopold when gunmen opened fire around 9:30 p.m. He was injured and is in St George's Hospital.
"I heard some gunshots around 9:30. I was with my friends. Something hit me. I ran away and fell on the road. Then somebody picked me up. I have injuries below my shoulder," Mishra said from a hospital bed he was sharing with three other people.
Another Reuters reporter saw a hospital ward full of injured people with bullet and shrapnel wounds. Many people were crying as the injured were brought in on troller.

Australians, English delay cricket trips to India

Australian and English provincial clubs postponed leaving for India for next week's Twenty20 Champions League because of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, and cricket great Shane Warne said he will likely skip the tournament.
Terrorists killed at least 82 people, wounded at least 200 and took Westerners hostage in attacks across the southern India city, where the tournament was to start next Wednesday. One of the luxury hotels in flames, the Taj Mahal, was where English side Middlesex planned to stay.
Middlesex captain Shaun Udal told Sky Sports News on Wednesday the team's scheduled flight to Mumbai on Thursday was canceled. He said the team was waiting for new travel plans, as the games in Mumbai were reportedly moved to Bangalore.
Cricket Australia halted the departures of the Western Australia and Victoria state teams, along with test stars Mike Hussey, Matthew Hayden and Shane Watson who were playing for Indian clubs.
"The state of play at the moment is that that we are not expecting to have any really good understanding of what the situation is for the first 12 hours," CA spokesman Peter Young said.
"We are basically on temporary hold while we assess the situation, while we get expert advice and while we consult all of the parties who are involved. I wouldn't expect we would be doing anything for at least the next 12 hours."
Indian champions the Rajasthan Royals, captained by Warne and featuring allrounder Watson, were to play the Sialkot Stallions at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Dec. 5 and two other matches in Bangalore.
Warne told Melbourne's Herald-Sun newspaper Web site from Singapore that he would likely return to Australia and not travel to India.
Warne and his long-time friend, former Victorian wicketkeeper Darren Berry, were scheduled to catch a connecting flight to the Indian city ahead of the tournament. They are now likely to return to Melbourne.
"It's unbelievable, the place is chaos," Warne said. "We are heading to Mumbai and that (the Taj Mahal) is the hotel we are staying at. I don't think we will be going (to India) now _ why would you?
"At this stage I am going to stay where I am for the rest of the day, but I reckon we are certainties to be on a flight heading home later today. It is just not worth the risk _ no amount of money is worth the risk with what is going on over there at the moment."
Cricket Australia's operations manager Michael Brown, who is a founding member of the Indian tournament and is on its organizing committee, was asked if the tournament might be canceled.
"All options are on the table," Brown said. Dean Kino, a Cricket Australia lawyer and one of the architects of the Champions League tournament, reportedly was in one of the Mumbai hotels targeted in the attacks but had been in contact with family and friends to say he was unharmed.
The attacks could yet affect the travel of England's test and limited-overs international teams, which are already in India.
England was in Cuttack on Wednesday, when it lost the fifth one-day international in a seven-game series. The team was due to travel to Guwahati for the next match on Saturday.
"We will be guided by the foreign office and will await developments," England spokesman Andrew Walpole said. "We need to get a clearer idea of what the situation is before we react further."
Mumbai was also the scheduled venue for the second test between England and India starting on Dec. 19.

Terror attacks on Mumbai stun Bollywood

Bollywood reacted with shock and horror as terror attacks brought Mumbai to a standstill.

• Terror attacks echo Bollywood movie's theme
• Mumbai attacks barbaric, says Pakistan
  Bollywood reacted with shock and horror on Thursday as brazen attacks on luxury hotels, hospitals and a tourist cafe in Mumbai killed at least 101 people and brought the bustling city to a standstill.
  Mumbai under terrorist attack! Terrible! Terrible Situation!" actor Amitabh Bachchan posted on his blog (http://bigb.bigadda.com/) just hours after the attacks were reported late on Wednesday.
  
  Hundreds of people, including foreigners, were still trapped by Islamist gunmen on Thursday in a city that has witnessed some of India's worst terror attacks.
  
  Several film shoots were cancelled in Mumbai, home to the worlds most prolific film industry, while security was tightened at the ongoing International Film Festival of India in the nearby state of Goa.
  
  "Shootings in Mumbai, especially those in South Mumbai, have been cancelled because people are scared to come out of their houses, Mukesh Bhatt, chairman of the core committee of Bollywood producers, told Reuters.
  
  But some producers are still shooting. We have to get used to terror now."
  
  Many of the areas targeted in the attacks are frequented by celebrities from Bollywood.
  
  The gunmen arrived by boats in Mumbai on Wednesday, before fanning out and attacking the Taj and Oberoi hotels, the landmark Leopold Cafe, hospitals and a railway station, firing indiscriminately.
  
  To think that any one can walk in with AK-47 into a station or a five-star hotel boggles the mind, said actor Rahul Bose.
  
  Indias film industry lost millions of rupees in revenue in the past two months due to workers striking over better pay. The terror attacks are bound to hit the industry even harder.
  
  "The immediate effect will be that people will be wary of going to theatres so revenues will suffer, Bose said.
  
  In the tourist haven of Goa, armed policemen mingled with delegates and lovers of cinema and a minute-long silence is being observed before each screening at Indias most prestigious film festival.
  
  "We have some 500 foreign delegates here, and we are doing everything to make sure they and the other delegates and our guests are safe, festival director S. M.Khan said.
  
  Oscar-nominated French actress Catherine Deneuve was scheduled to arrive on Thursday while jury head filmmaker Peter Chan was already at the festival venue.
  
  Bollywood actor Abhay Deol is also in Goa to promote his film Oye Lucky Lucky Oye but said his mind is far away in Mumbai.
  
  Celebrating films seems a little selfish right now," the actor said.

User's comments:
the original kaukswe is spicy and has lot of other ingredients.
This essentially comes under sea-food; so instead of the boneless chicken, it would have dried fish/prawns... It is quite a dish and my mouth is already watering by the name of it! :)
What about Ajinomoto (China Salt), which is prime ingredient in this recipe.
u have forgotten the raw ingredients that can be added to the stew.
Hey this recipe is quite incomplete and incorrect!!
