The Value of Conventional Political Engagement

I

n a previous edition (April 6th, 2018) I wrote about protestors and the role that protesting plays within political activism. In that column I outlined what I saw as the ‘right’ way versus the ‘wrong’ way to protest. Having said that, as someone who is politically engaged it only seems fitting that I now dedicate an edition to the value of conventional political engagement – i.e., working ‘within the system.’

For me – as someone who is a proficient communicator (which is not a statement rooted in ego, but rather self-awareness as, believe me, I could do an entire column on my weaknesses) I have always felt compelled to use my strengths within my system. Thus, from my days on DCTV4 (Delta), to my contributions on 101.7FM (Abbotsford), to presently seeking an NPA Council Nomination (Vancouver), I have always been a firm believer that actively engaging within the system – whether that be indirectly by asking questions that hold elected officials accountable, or whether that be directly by throwing my own hat in to the ring – yields the greatest, most positive results.

Of course, it is that final statement – “greatest, most positive results” – that requires context.

One of the greatest complaints I have heard regarding ‘working within the system’ is that nothing ever gets done.

Not true. What is true is that, often times, working within the system means it takes time and patience in order to see the desired outcomes.

Some will, naturally, view this through a cynical lens and talk about ‘red tape’. Others, meanwhile, will talk about checks-and-balances, duediligence, etc. The reality is that the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but at the end of the day working within the system yields a favourable result with far greater consistency than attempting to work outside of it; a statement rooted in both qualitative and quantitative data.

For The Record…

During a recent radio interview on Roundhouse Radio with host Jody Vance, the conversation turned to those who do not vote. The example used by Ms. Vance was the couple

that don’t bother to vote because one votes one-way and the other votes another-way; thus, the belief that their two votes ‘cancel each other out’ and therefore there is no reason to go to the polls. This, of course, is just one example of what I considered to be political apathy. In the same spirit, there are other ‘classic excuses’ not to vote such as… it’s only one vote, it can’t possibly matter… I don’t really know enough about the candidates or the parties… or one of my *favourites* which is… all politicians are crooked and can’t be trusted. The reality is that not a singular one of these statements are legitimate.

For the couple that votes differently, it’s important to note that the number of votes cast make a difference – especially now when discussions are taking place about changing our electoral system. For those who suggest that it’s just one vote and won’t really matter, there have been elections that have come down to only a handful of votes (in some instances, fewer than a dozen). For those who say they don’t know enough about the candidates and/or the parties… well, I’m sure if they gave-up an hour of Netflix they could get enough of a sense that they could – at the very least – make a ‘semi-informed’ decision (though, I’d be far too embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know enough to cast a ballot given the sacrifices made by so many to ensure we live in a country that affords us the opportunity to vote).

Finally, when it comes to politicians and the ‘trustworthy factor’, this is perhaps the most absurd. Simply put, only those who do not vote are responsible for elected officials who don’t live-up to the standards they ought to as public servants.

cal engagement should not only be important to everyone as a matter of principle, but also because if everyone engaged within the system – if only by casting a ballot on election day – it would undoubtedly result in a more representative, well-balanced, holistic outcome that better epitomises the majority of the populace.

The bottom line is this… the system will only ever be as effective and as meaningful as those who engage within it. Therefore, while there are ways to engage outside of the system (i.e., protesting), I cannot help but think that if those same people got politically active within the system and sought to change it from within, the system in its entirety would become far more effectual; thereby creating a greater climate of cooperation, while minimizing cynicism.

For the Record Justin P. Goodrich, LL.M. mandatory?). However, if people could just park their cynicism and genuinely try engaging within the system I am certain things would be better all-around. Naive? Maybe.

But worth a shot!

knows? In many ways this is one of those cyclical challenges that Previous editions of For the Record can will always result in opposing views be found online at: www.patrika.ca/forthe-record. (unless, of course, voting became

So, what’s my point?

Admittedly – as I have stated in the past – there is no such thing as a ‘perfect system’. However, that comment goes well-beyond ‘first-past-the-post’ versus ‘proportional representation’.

Indeed, that comment speaks to a fundamental truth that far too many people – in this columnists’ opinion – do not take in to consideration: decisions are made by those who show-up! Thus, with all of the above in mind, it should be clear that politiPAGE 5

Warmer weather prompts outdoor burning precautions

W

ith temperatures rising in northern regions of the province, the BC Wildfire Service is encouraging members of the public, and industry personnel, to exercise caution when doing any outdoor burning.

There are currently no open burning prohibitions in effect within the Northwest Fire Centre or Prince George Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. However, people wishing to light an open fire must watch for changing weather conditions and follow all burning regulations to

help reduce the number of preventable wildfires. They should also take the following precautions: Ensure that enough resources are on hand to control the fire and prevent it from escaping.

cal government to find out if any open burning restrictions or bylaws are in effect.

Anyone planning to do large-scale industrial burning, or conduct a grass burn larger than 0.2 hectares (Category 3 fires), must obtain a burn registration number ahead of time (at no charge) by calling 1 888 797-1717. Burn registration numbers are entered in the Open Fire Tracking System, which allows the BC Wildfire Service to track open burning activity throughout B.C.: h t t p : / / o w. l y / wILl30jF4cf Anyone conducting an open burn must check local venting conditions before lighting any fire. If the venting conditions in the area are rated “poor” or “fair”, Category 2 or Category 3 open burning is restricted. The venting index can be obtained by calling 1 888 2812992 and is also available online at: www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/epdpa/venting/venting.html

Create an appropriately sized fireguard around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material, right down to the mineral soil.

Anyone conducting an open burn must comply with the Wildfire Act and air quality control legislation. If an open burn escapes and causes a wildfire, the person responsible may be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs. It is the responsibility of that individual to ensure that burning is done in a safe manner and in accordance with regulations and any current burning restrictions.

Consider conducting smaller burns around the perimeter of the main fire site before lighting the main fire.

This will create a fuel break and help prevent the fire spreading beyond its intended size.

The Northwest Fire Centre extends from the Yukon border in the north to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in the south, and from the Pacific Ocean and Alaska border in the west to just east of Endako.

Never leave a fire unattended.

The Prince George Fire Centre extends from the Yukon and Northwest Territories in the north to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, the Cottonwood River and Robson Valley in the south, and from the Alberta border in the east to the Skeena Mountains in the west.

Do not burn during windy conditions.

Weather conditions can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires.

Make sure that your fire is completely extinguished, and the ashes are cold to the touch, before you leave the area for any length of time.

Before conducting any burn, check with the local fire department and lo-

B.C. takes on pill presses with a bill to battle fentanyl

I

n a move against the illegal production of illicit opioids and to help keep them off the streets, the Province is toughening regulations on pill-press machines and other similar pharmaceutical equipment.

The new Pill Press and Related Equipment Control Act is comprehensive legislation that is part of a broader scheme of initiatives intended to help law enforcement address the fentanyl crisis in British Columbia. The bill aims at restricting ownership, possession and use of equipment that can be used to make illicit drugs, such as automated pill presses, gel cap machines and pharmaceutical mixers.

The federal legislation only requires registration of pill or tablet presses “Police have asked for more control and gel cap machines on import into and monitoring of who has use of Canada, and there are no limitations pill presses,” said Mike Farnworth, on who can own the equipment.

B.C.’s legislation requires those who want to sell the equipment to register and agree to a criminal record check. There are also notification requirements for when people acquire and dispose of the equipment, as well as powers to appoint inspectors, so that compliance with the legislation can be monitored.

All of the provisions will make it easier to track where controlled equipment is, and easier to take it out of the hands of those who are not authorized owners.

“The B.C.

Regardless of your employment status after arriving in Canada, you may find it useful to expand your network by signing up for one of the newcomer mentorship programs. As you get started, here are a few tips on building a successful, long-lasting mentoring relationship.

1. Establish Goals: It will be helpful to set long and short term goals from the very beginning of your mentoring relationship. They do not need to be audacious goals, but having a solid achievable road map in place

3. Continue the conversation: Your relationship with your mentor may extend beyond the desired program timeline. Discuss what the best ways to communicate with your mentor will be afterwards so that you have a better understanding of how to effectively keep in touch. By maintaining a professional relationship with your mentor, it will help extend your network as you continue to develop professionally in Canada.

ongoing program evaluation.

The Fraser Health hip and knee replacement program builds on Burnaby Hospital’s Central Intake and Optimization Clinic for Arthroplasty, which enables booking with the first available surgeon, rather than relying on a traditional referral relationship between a family physician and an orthopedic surgeon. This new approach helps to ensure people have timely access to surgery. The clinic also supports patients with a nurse-liaison throughout each step of the process, to make them aware of options that are available in the community to help them recover more quickly when they return home.

“We know that when we use the resources in our public health system effectively, we can make our healthcare system stronger, and our surgical strategy aims to achieve that,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “By choosing to improve how we schedule and perform hip and knee replacements, as well as how we care for people before and after surgery, we are helping to get people back to their day As part of the B.C. Surgical and Diagnostic Imaging Strategy, Fraser Health to day activities.” will also see a 14% increase in MRI As a result of this program, the number exams, for a total 63,000 in 2018-19. of hip and knee replacement surgeries Approximately $11 million in funding within Fraser Health is expected to is being made available to increase increase by approximately 836 in 2018- MRI capacity provincewide in the 19.

Fraser Health’s hip and knee replacement program will also make improvements designed to support increased surgical volumes, reduce wait times and improve continuity of care for patients by co-ordinating all the services a patient requires to prepare for, undergo and recover from surgery. This includes:

Under the provincial surgical strategy, which is being supported with ongoing targeted funding of $75 million starting in 2018-19, and increasing to $100 million in 2019-20, approximately 9,400 more publicly funded surgeries will be completed by the end of March 2019.

The strategy will improve timely access to surgery through a more efficient dedicated operating room time; surgical system, and will help the Province catch up and keep up with demand, pre- and post-surgical support; starting with hip and knee replacement centralized intake; surgery and dental surgery. It will also improve patient experience, by focusstandardized assessment; ing on improving surgical pathways, access to the first-available surgeon; co-ordination of care and information provided to patients. and

Ministers’ statement on Child Care Month in B.C.

K

atrine Conroy, Minister of Children and Family Development, and Katrina Chen, Minister of State for Child Care, have issued the following statement recognizing the importance of Child Care Month in B.C.:

“May is Child Care Month in B.C., an opportunity to highlight the importance of improving access to affordable, quality child care throughout the province. Under the new Childcare BC plan — which aims to create more licensed spaces, while improving quality and affordability for families — the first step has been to lower child care costs to provide some relief

to families.

“April was just the first month of the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative.

We’re happy to say that, so far, child care providers have applied to lower fees for 39,384 of 49,136 eligible spaces. Already, 25,309 of those spaces have been approved. This means parents have already begun benefiting from lower child care fees, with even more families expected to benefit as April applications con-

tinue to be processed and approved.

Through our work with thousands of child care providers who have opted in to the program, we have put more than $2.2 million back in parents’ pockets in this first month alone.

More and more B.C. parents will see savings as providers continue to sign up in future months.

“The list of child care providers who are participating is now posted online, so parents can see if their provider has opted in and find out more about Childcare BC. “In addition, we want to make sure that we’re addressing the shortage in child care, so parents can find licensed spots for their children. That’s why we’re investing $237 million to fund more than 22,000 new, licensed child care spaces over the next three years. During the coming weeks, we will begin to announce more details about enhanced and redesigned programs — like major and minor capital funding — that will help B.C. families find licensed child care in their communities.

Preliminary details about the study will be released this week, along with more information about professional development and educational supports that are available to ECEs throughout the province.

dropping in to child care centres that have joined the fee reduction initiative, and talking to community members about child care. These face-to-face discussions will complement a series of telephone town halls we’re hosting towards the end of the month — in the Lower Mainland, on Vancouver Island, up North, in the Interior and on the coast — to talk to “Child Care Month, and Child Care parents about child care and answer Provider Appreciation Day on May their questions.

“We are also committed to making sure that B.C. children can benefit from the highest quality care and early learning experiences. Early childhood educators (ECEs) are key to building a system of quality care and early learning. As we build more spaces, we need more qualified ECEs to staff new facilities.

Premier announces awards for excellence in education

N

ominations open today for the new Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education, an opportunity to recognize the enormous contributions of education professionals who go above and beyond to make life better for students in British Columbia.

“B.C.’s talented teachers, administrators and support workers deserve to be honoured and celebrated for the important work they do,” said Premier John Horgan. “We are focused on investing in British Columbia’s education system, and developing new relationships with our education partners that are built on trust and respect.”

Premier Horgan’s announcement kicked off B.C. Education Week, April 23-27, 2018. The week includes students, teachers, staff and parents participating in a variety of activities celebrating the innovative approach to learning that occurs in their respective schools and communities.

“B.C.’s 43,000 public school teachers all work hard every day to create safe, fun and enriched learning environments for all our students,” said Glen Hansman, president of the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation. “We are teachers, mentors, coaches, club sponsors and much more.

“We hope community members throughout B.C. will take the time to nominate education professionals who have made a positive difference in their own lives, or those of their children or grandchildren,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Education. “Highly skilled and innovative teachers, administrators, principals, vice-principals and support workers – who operate school buses safely, help our kids read and keep schools clean and well maintained – deserve acknowledgement for their dedication to helping students succeed.”

“CUPE BC represents more than 27,000 education workers who work in B.C.’s K-12 education system,” said Paul Faoro, president of CUPE BC. “I’m pleased the new government has established a category of awards to recognize the important work our members do making public schools welcoming, inclusive and safe.”

Public consultation begins on new species at risk legislation

T

he Government of British Columbia has begun a threestage approach to gathering feedback that will inform policy development for new species at risk legislation.

Currently, the Province has 231 species listed under the federal Species at Risk Act. While there are protection measures for some species under the current provincial regulations, there is no comprehensive legislation for the protection of species at risk.

“The great variety of plants and animals in British Columbia provides important ecological, social, cultural and economic benefits to the province and its residents,” said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. ”

and regional engagements with Indigenous communities.

Phase 2 is a collaborative, multi-day workshop with key stakeholders in spring 2018.

Phase 3 will be an intentions paper, issued for public comment in the fall of 2018, that will outline specific details of B.C.’s proposed species at risk legislation.

Species at risk legislation will fulfil the Province’s commitment to reduce adverse impacts on B.C.’s most vulnerable species. The legislation will establish a clear process for protecting species at risk, to meet obligations under the Canada-British Columbia Agreement on Species at Risk, as well as provide increased certainty for those operating on B.C.’s land base.

Phase 1 will consist of a series of The engagement and consultation one-to-one conversations with key will occur concurrently between stakeholder groups, online discusIndigenous groups, stakeholders and sions with members of the public the public.

Something can begin to stir in your mind about action, which would be best taken when it comes to future goals.

You could begin to gain a clearer picture of the commitments you would need to be prepared to make. There can be a tendency to overlook the amount of finer detail involved but you will find out soon enough.

Activities with others but particularly within a group of people can be most enjoyable. It could turn into something bigger than you initially expect. Be cautious about anything you are pressed to agree with or any person who is very strong about their ideas as it will be difficult to gauge exactly what they are looking for.

You can feel challenged with what might seem never ending matters to deal with on a daily basis and that there is no conclusion in sight. Rather than worry too much about this you should take an optimistic view on it working out satisfactorily. You do have support from people who have authority, so it will all work out eventually.

Anything you are uncertain about when it comes to the expectations of others, you should simply ask questions. If they don’t want to tell you it will be made very clear but this may not necessarily be the way things go. Anything practical that needs to be dealt with or impacts upon things on a daily basis can be sorted quite easily.

The Full Moon this week occurs in your sign.

This can generate much self- awareness when it comes to your own position and that of others. You could feel overwhelmed by others right now but much is up to the way you decide to respond. You can be strong-minded about the manner in which you want to establish matters

It is important you get the right information that will enable you to get on top of any situation that makes you feel like a slave to circumstance. This is challenging you to put a structure in place that will be enduring but also something that you can have greater control over. If money is involved it is possible to improve the situation.

You will enjoy being in any situation that is either generous to you or allows you to create some benefit. You can express practical, down to earth ideas without seeming out of touch. This might be necessary, especially if there is any expectation for you to be putting money into something has been lacking boundaries.

You will be fired up to get things in place so that what follows on has a good foundation to operate from. Your vision won’t be bound but when it comes to others involved you will need to be persistent in leading the way so that matters take to path you want. This is because they can wander off the track quite easily.

There will be more to handle than you initially anticipate so be very careful about committing yourself to things when it seems you have plenty of time available.

You need to deal with matters that involve you personally and require your attention and leave any opportunities for social involvement floating until the last minute.

There is a lot of focus on your finances with some aspects having the opportunity to work to your benefit. Any situation where you are owed money could come to a head and you should not hesitate to take appropriate action to state your priorities or to express what you expect. The final conclusion might be slow but it is positive.

You may not know how to take what becomes obvious about somebody else.

You need to put your focus on your own position and be very clear and definite, in your own mind, when it comes to any responsibilities you are willing to accept.

What will give you pleasure in the long term may need to be taken into account as well.

Tension can arise through somebody else taking a dominant approach, especially if they are of the opinion you should either be more responsible or enter into greater levels of commitment. There could be more to handle on a daily basis than you imagined but for the moment this is not likely to prove troublesome to you.

Renewed focus on invasive species by government, partners

T

he Government of British Columbia and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. have renewed their commitment to effectively manage invasive species in the province, with an updated five-year strategic plan and the proclamation of May 2018 as Invasive Species Action Month.

Invasive species are plants or animals that are not native to this province, or are outside of their natural distribution areas. They can disrupt habitat, displace native species and negatively impact British Columbia’s environment, people or economy.

“Once invasive species become established, they can spread rapidly, and seriously disrupt B.C.’s ecosystems if left unchecked,” said Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. “The close partnerships that our government has developed with the Invasive Species Council of B.C., regional invasive species organizations and several local governments have gone a long way toward managing these harmful species.”

and Rural Development, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and members of the InterMinistry Invasive Species Working Group were also involved in its preparation.

The updated 2018-2022 version builds on the original strategy released in 2012, and focuses on seven key priorities, or “pillars”: establish and enforce effective regulatory tools strengthen collaboration prevent introduction and spread implement effective control, restoration and monitoring programs

ICBC legislation focuses on affordability and supporting crash victims

T

he Government of British Columbia is introducing changes to legislation aimed at reversing ICBC’s skyrocketing legal and administrative costs, and making insurance rates more affordable for B.C. drivers, Attorney General David Eby announced today.

If approved by the legislature, the amendments to the Insurance (Vehicle) Act (IVA) and the Civil Resolution Tribunal Act (CRTA) will simplify dispute resolution processes for cases under $50,000, allowing them to be resolved in as little as 90 days, where currently these disputes can last two to three years in B.C. Supreme Court.

in accident benefits in more than 25 years, and will dramatically increase the care available for anyone injured in a crash, regardless of fault. It will introduce a limit of $5,500 on pain and suffering payouts for minor injury claims.

“It is unacceptable, not just that British Columbians faced skyrocketing rates while ICBC lost hundreds of millions of dollars, but also that benefits for injured drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians have been frozen in time for a quarter century,” said Eby. “We are rebalancing where ICBC premium dollars go. We’re shifting the money out of administration, expert reports and court processes, and into driver’s pockets through stable rates and better benefits.”

A limit on pain and suffering damages for minor injuries will allow ICBC to redirect resources to increasing benefits for lost pay and medical rehabilitation for all people injured in accidents.

If approved, the majority of amendThese changes also establish the frame- ments to both acts would become efwork for the first major improvements fective April 1, 2019.

NDP CALLS ON GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT A NATIONAL LOCAL FOOD DAY Today NDP MP Wayne Stetski (Kootenay–Columbia) kicked off the first hour of debate on his Private Member’s Bill C-281, An Act to establish a National Local Food Day, which would designate the Friday before Thanksgiving of each year as National Local Food Day. “Food is at the heart of our homes, our communities and our economy,” said Stetski. “Ensuring that Canadians have access to healthy, affordable local food and a sustainable food system need to be national priorities.”

According to Statistics Canada, agriculture contributed $111.9 billion and accounted for 6.7% of Canada’s GDP in 2016. The agriculture and agri-food system as whole provides 1 in 8 Canadian jobs, employing 2.3 million people. Establishing a National Local Food Day would give all Canadians an opportunity to celebrate our local food

PAGE 44

and recognize the hard work of local producers and harvesters, food manufacturers, farmers’ markets, and others in every region across the country. It would also raise awareness of the challenges many Canadians face in accessing healthy, affordable food close to home.

“A National Local Food Day is something everyone can get behind,” said Stetski. “From coast to coast to coast, we want to celebrate the diversity of what local food means to Canadians. I urge all MPs to help us make National Local Food Day a reality.”

Wildfire Community Preparedness Day is May 5 this year

W

ildfire Community Preparedness Day is an excellent opportunity for people to reduce wildfire risks around their homes and in their communities, Doug Donaldson, Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Minister, announced today.

The FireSmart Homeowner’s Manual was developed to help people lower those risks and make their properties more fire-resilient. The checklist in the manual makes it easy to get started. The manual is available online: http://www. gov.bc.ca/firesmart “In light of the extraordinary wildfire season that B.C. experienced in 2017, and our government’s ongoing efforts to support fire prevention strategies, I encourage everyone to do their part by reducing wildfire risks on their own properties and within their communities,” said Donaldson.

FireSmart Canada and its partners provide project funding awards throughout the country to support activities aimed at reducing wildfire risks. The

full list of recipients for 2018 is on the FireSmart Canada website: https:// www.firesmartcanada.ca/firesmartcommunities/congratulations-to-oursuccessful-wildfire-community-preparedness-day-2018-award-recipients/ This year’s funding recipients in B.C. include: Kaleden, Invermere (Castle Rock Estates community), Chilliwack - Ryder Lake Community, Polar Peak Lodges (Fernie Alpine Resort), Whistler, Fernie (Castle Mountain Community), Lake Cowichan, Fraser Lake Elementary School, Sunshine Valley, Fraser Valley Regional District, Woodbury Village, Powell River, Okanagan Indian Band, Creston, 108 Mile Ranch, Maple Ridge, Nakusp, Barriere, Penticton-Spiller Road, Penticton-Riddle Road, Penticton-Sendero Canyon, Vernon-Predator Ridge, Piers Island, Saturna Island, Whistler-Powderwood, Rushmere, Whistler-Eagle Ridge, Nadleh Whut'en First Nation, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Burns Lake, Robson, Ashcroft, Vernon.

I am not someone who just wants to be not married : Varun

Actor Varun Dhawan doesn’t talk about his romantic relationship with Natasha Dalal often, but he has not made any effort to hide the fact that he is in one. He says it takes away from his personal life and he feels it is his job to protect her. “Why is it so hard to talk about your relationship?” Varun said. The actor, who has just turned 31, said, “I feel like it takes away my personal life and that is the only reason I don’t talk about it. Because then (whether) you are in or not in (a relationship), they are going to write something here and write something there.” Is she uncomfortable with the

attention? “Yeah, she is a normal girl. She is a normal kid and she wants to just live a normal life and it’s my job to protect her,” added Varun, who is currently riding high on the praise coming his way for October. Asked if it is hard to conduct a normal relationship when you are an actor, he said, “I think it is too hard to have a relationship in general in 2018, but I think that if you want to be in it and are in the right phase of life then you can do it… The main thing in life is that you’re happy and you don’t have to prove anything to anybody. That’s why I don’t talk about it.”Varun also opened up on his marriage plans. “I am not someone who just wants to be not married. I believe in the institution and I don’t think there should be an age and date for this, but there should be a feeling that it is the right time and when you feel it then get married.”

Shakti on Shraddha’s marriage plans: She will marry a man of her own choice Actor Shakti Kapoor says his daughter and actress Shraddha Kapoor will marry a man of her own choice. Shakti spoke to the media at a teaser and poster launch of his upcoming film The Journey of Karma.

Asked about Shraddha’s wedding plans, Shakti said: “Every father wants that his daughter to get married in a good and respected family. I wish that she grows in her personal and professional life, but I think as a parent, you have to give some kind of liberty to your children because now that period is gone when parents used to marry their

children (to a person) of their choice.“Now, we have to ask them about their choices in terms of everything, including their life partners. She is right now very busy in her career, but whenever she will tell us about her marriage plans, she will marry a man of her own choice and we don’t have any objection with that.”As a father, Shakti is happy that Shraddha, who will next be seen in Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal’s biopic, is working hard to take on challenging roles. “In today’s time, every actor is taking challenges in his career. If you see actors right from

There's an unspoken hierarchy on a mainstream film's set : Richa An unspoken hierarchy on the sets of a mainstream film is not something actress Richa Chadha is fond of.

Having worked in both mainstream cinema and projects with theatre artistes, Richa pointed at the basic difference between the two.

"Working in mainstream is somewhat stressful, but not in exact sense. It's a very different experience... There is an unspoken hierarchy in a mainstream film, that I am not fond of," Richa said. here after she wrapped up the shoot of "Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui". The film's ensemble cast includes actors as talented as Pankaj Tripathi, Saurabh Shukla, Vinay Pathak, Divya Dutta, Manoj Pahwa and Pavan Malhotra.

Richa says even if she is on the top of that hierarchy, it makes her uncomfortable."Even if I am at the top of a hierarchy, I don't like it.

Ranbir Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar, all are doing really good in biopics in which they have worked. Every actor is working hard in the film industry.“Now Shraddha will play the character of Saina Nehwal. She has trained with Saina in Hyderabad and now, she is continuing her training.

Apart from that, she will also head to Abu Dhabi to shoot for ‘Saaho’ along with Prabhas. She is also working with Rajkummar Rao in ‘Stree’ and ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’…

So, I am really happy that she is working in every genre of films at this point in her career.”

I get attached to films I feel have a story touching my heart : Rani In her over twodecade-long journey in Hindi film industry, actress Rani Mukerji has always followed her instincts to choose her roles. She says she not only wants to give out social messages with her movies, but also entertain the audience. Over the years, Rani’s choice of films have become as different as chalk and cheese — from Ghulam, Bichhoo and Bunty Aur Babli to films like No One Killed Jessica, Mardaani and Hichki.Asked if working on stronger roles is something that she is

focussing on, Rani said, “No, not really. I am very instinctive when it comes to choosing the roles offered to me. I get attached to films which I feel have a story touching my heart or is a story that needs (to be told).

So, tomorrow if somebody comes up with a Bunty Aur Babli 2, I will 100 per cent do it… and where they would expect me to sing and dance.”The actor, 40, says it’s essential for her to establish a connect with a story.rani mukerji at an event in Mumbai Rani Mukerji at an event in Mumbai.“At the end of the day, it has to make sense and it has to be something that I enjoy doing. It could be purely for entertainment because as an actor, I should never forget the fact that I am here to entertain the masses.

Because it unknowingly distances yourself from other people working on the project. For example, there are five actors and all of them are equally commercially viable and have equal experience... Just because my manager says, 'Richa ko kuch alag do, alag van mil jaye (Give Richa a separate vanity van)', so when I will sit and eat food with them, I will feel weird," she said.During the shoot of "Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui", the experience was different. All the actors, who have a lot of experience, stayed together till its wrap up. And they also helped junior artistes in giving the best shot."Suppose we are doing a scene... Like, while shooting 'Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui', we have had a few junior artistes in Lucknow. They are not trained actors, so they do not know mark, light, how to put the mic, and the basics. But we are sitting and helping, coming together... If there is a hierarchy, then it won't be the same... They won't be able to open up.

People may want to see me romancing after this : Sanjay Mishra "Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain" lead actor Sanjay Mishra feels after this film people might want to see him doing more romantic roles. Interacting with the media along with his co-stars and director Harish Vyas, at the film's trailer launch here on Friday, the veteran actor said he felt anxious before the release. "I was a little anxious because this is something new and there is a possibility that people might want to see me in a romantic role from here on.""Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain" is set in Varanasi and revolves around the lives of three couples, who have very different views of love. Known for his works in "Ankho Dekhi" and "Masaan", Sanjay said the story of Vyas' film depicts the truth of our society. "I wouldn't say the story is different because it shows exactly what happens in our country and in our society."It is us. Many people cannot say -- I Love You -- in spite of living together for years. They cannot express their feelings. "The film inspires people to express their love. It adds colour to your life and gives you the energy to live on," he added.
