blitzkrieg - an intense military campaign intended to bring about a swift victory.
It’s a year since the terror attacks on Mumbai stunned India and the world. But even now, there is an absence of comfort at how we might deal with another terrorist blitzkrieg that could possibly surpass last year’s 26/11 attacks in intensity.
flurry - a number of things arriving suddenly and simultaneously.
fiasco - a ludicrous or humiliating failure.
After an initial flurry of activity and pronouncements – from military threats to Pakistan, where the attacks came from, to promises that our police and intelligence agencies would be geared up to prevent such a fiasco – the government’s responses have been far from reassuring.
smirk - smile in an irritatingly smug or silly way.
To add a smile to Pakistan’s smirk, our prime minister’s meeting with his Pakistani counterpart led to a contestable joint statement despite Pakistan’s rejection of several volumes of proof that India has provided the Pakistanis.

Mastopexy - breast lifting
Can women lift up their breasts without having to wear a bra? Yes. An Israeli researcher has developed an “internal bra” that will give women the kind of lift and shape they want without having to wear one.
Mastopexy, or breast lifting, may be performed but the procedure involves massive interference with both internal and external breast tissues.
