Last updated on: February 9, 2013 09:40 IST


Asserting that there is an overwhelming feeling of pessimism in India, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today on Thursday said that the biggest challenge is to use human resources to its full potential. Lauding good governance in Gujarat, Modi urged the youth to make proper use of opportunity.

Addressing a packed auditorium of students, at Delhi University's prestigious Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Modi said that India is not a poor country; it is rich in natural resources but the resources are not fully exploted. Praising the development model of his state, Modi said that the state developed on three pillars, agricultural, industry and service sector.

Modi also recalled the contributions of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi and Sadar Vallabhai Patel to the Indian freedom struggle.

The short little break is over and Kareena Kapoor Khan is back to work as she has started off with a soaked-in-affluence photoshoot for Vogue India magazine's February 2013 issue.

Kareena could be seen sitting atop the imposing dome of the magnificent Taj Kalaknuma Palace in Hyderabad. This is Bebo's third Vogue cover.

She wears a splendid Dior black bustier frock and dons a Philip Treacy top hat. If the hat adds a hint of drama to the picture, then the finely crafted black outfit, perfectly encasing Kareena's bootylicious frame, creates a wonderfully stark contrast with the white dome in the background.

Much like Kareena's elegance and her impeccable class, this shoot is supremely beautiful.

If rumours are to be believed, the maker of Kamasutra 3D is planning to replace Sherlyn Chopra. Director Rupesh Paul is miffed with Sherlyn for uploading a video clip of the photoshoot of the film on her YouTube channel without seeking his permission.

The director has now decided to approach Hollywood stars Eva Longoria or Mila Kunis for the film instead. But with shooting of 'Kamasutra 3D' in process, there are less chances that Rupesh Paul will replace Sherlyn with another actor. This could possibly be a big publicity gimmick.

Popular for her striptease act on Twitter, Sherlyn also posted several nude posters and stills from the movie on micro blogging website.

Under tremendous pressure, the rock band of Class 10 students called it a day. Earlier, in the face of online abuses, the band had decided to stop public performances for some time and restart doing musical albums.
