Another IHM at Farmagudi

Posted: 25 May 2010 07:24 PM PDT

Land admeasuring around 5 acres has been transferred to a Society set up for the purpose. The IHM Society has already been registered and is headed by Secretary, Tourism, Dr M Modassir.
In the picturesque location of Farmagudi, IHM is expected to come up in less than two years. The building plans are being prepared, Dr Modassir told this paper. The modalities of setting up the institute were discussed at the meeting of the Society recently for which a representative of the central Government was also present.
Goa, apparently, has the distinction of getting sanction from the Centre for a second IHM. Goa's first IHM which is in Porvorim was established many years ago. As there is a high demand from local students for hotel management and catering studies, the Goa Government had requested the Centre for another catering college in the State.
The Farmagudi college is a Rs 12 crore project. Part of the funds has been released to the State Government by the Centre.
Dr Modassir said the IHM Society intends to start the first batch from next academic year (2011-12) before the building is completed.
Meanwhile, the work on the proposed convention centre will kick-start soon. As reported earlier, the project will come up adjacent to Bal Bhavan, Campal, here. The Centre has just disbursed Rs 5 crore to Goa Government for the centre. This will be a small convention centre compared to the mega one which was earlier proposed in Dona Paula and has since been shelved.

First Look at Kareena Kapoor’s ‘Golmaal 3′in Goa.

Posted: 25 May 2010 09:36 AM PDT

The movie is not slated for release until November 5, but you can already now get a sneak peek of Kareena Kapoor’s upcoming comedy “Golmaal 3.” After starring in the box-office hit “3 Idiots” Kareena Kapoor takes on another ‘3′ and is hard at work shooting her new movie “Golmaal 3″ in Goa and Hyderabad. The Rohit Shetty directed comedy co-stars Ajay Devgan and Arshad Warsi.

Bebo’s role has been described as a ‘tomboy’ and will be far from some of the more glam parts she has taken on in the past: “My look in Golmaal 3 is not glamorous. He’s young and grunge and maintenance of the weather and the appearance of Goa in mind. I play a tomboy, but with a feminine touch. Although to use language Tapori not be too abusive or vulgar. I will agree with my personality,” Kareena told reporters when asked about her role.

This is not the first time the “Kurbaan” star has had to take the glamour level down a notch. For her role in Karan Johar’s remake of the 1998 Julia Roberts movie “Stepmom,” the Bollywood beauty will portray an ordinary working woman, a stepmom. “I walk, talk and dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no makeup,” she revealed, adding “I’m going for a new hairstyle,” said about this part.

Sounds like everyone wants to take Kareena from glam to gloomy! “The last time I rehearsed for a part it was for Vishal Bhardwaj’s “Omkara.” However, that was a more unconventional film and role where I had to get into a milieu and character I knew nothing about. But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl. It should’ve been easier,” Bebo added.

So take a look at Kareena Kapoor’s look in “Golmaal 3″ and tell us what you think; are you looking forward to seeing the movie? Drop us a line.
