have been repeating that it’s not my comeback so many times this evening that I think I am going to tape this line,” laughs Raveena Tandon, who’s very soon going to come to our drawing rooms. She will be a judge on a new reality television show called Chak De Bachche. And, since we agree with her that this isn’t what you call a comeback, she laughs some more and says, “I wish I hadn’t had to explain this to everyone. I mean, a comeback would mean if I am doing some acting, playing a character. Here, I am playing myself. I am just resurfacing, that’s it.” Raveena had been busy playing mommy and she says she enjoyed every bit of it. “After I had my daughter, I had almost said yes to a woman-oriented show, and then I was pregnant with my second baby. So, I went back to being a mommy. And, parenthood is so much fun, believe me. I don’t just say it as a woman, my husband has enjoyed being a parent as much as I have.” Besides, she continues, “All of us as parents are very hands-on these days. We are very involved, we want to discover what motherhood and fatherhood is all about. I mean, our fathers and grandfathers probably didn’t even realise when we were all grown up and in contrast, we are involved in every little thing.” What about the two girls she had adopted? “I was only 21 then. And today, I can say that I am going to be a ‘mother-in-law!’ One of my girls just got engaged last month and it’s such a happy feeling,” says Raveena. So, is she open to Bollywood? “Yes, yes, yes! There’s such a broad spectrum of ideas in the industry now, there’s work for everyone. It’s one of the most exciting times to be an actress. The kind of films we are making, we feel proud of our industry. I saw Chak De! India and Jodhaa Akbar and I loved them both,” says Raveena. But at the moment, she will be happy “watching young talent from India unfold in front of me as a judge and being able to give wings to unexplored and undiscovered talent” till some really good offers from Bollywood pour in. Birthday parties, play dates, the sweet banter of her children, and the comfort and warmth of a good marriage: Raveena seems to be living the good life. “You bet!” chirps Raveena, “I really couldn’t have asked for more.” |

Marianne Clark cannot understand why the woman who gave birth to Terri Schiavo, dried her tears and nursed her cuts and bruises counts less to the courts than the husband who asked that Schiavo's feeding tube be removed. "You have a husband who hasn't been faithful, and he's the one the judges all listen to," the Sarasota woman said from a protest line outside the hospice where Schiavo was in her second week without food or water. "There's nothing like a mother. A mother knows her child, and nobody else should be able to make that decision." Some Christian conservatives

Premarital legislation requires re-thinking
As Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province resumes the practice of mandatory premarital health checks for couples wanting to tie the knot, the nation is re-engaged in a hot debate over the soundness of the legislation. Local lawmakers said the regulation was reasonable since it would prevent congenital diseases and reduce the amount of birth defects. They point to statistical evidence that shows an increased number of birth defects in the province after the check-up became optional nationwide in October 2003. The argument supporting the resumption of the mandatory check-up, however, does not hold water. Statistics sometimes cheat. Heilongjiang's highlighting of a rising number of
Canada Evangelical Christians Outraged at Homosexual Marriage Law
The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) has voiced its regret over the passage of Bill C-38, the Civil Marriage Act, which will legalise marriage between same-sex couples in all courthouses and city halls in Canada. The EFC fears the new law will have detrimental effects to both the family and religious freedom in the country. Bruce Clemenger, president of the EFC, said: "Today our government has chosen to redefine the foundational institution of our society. The consequences of this massive social experiment have not been fully examined or understood." Clemenger warned more specifically of the danger for children if the emphasis within
