A 35year affair takes the curtain call
As Charles marries Camilla defying all
At the wedding it seems both will bewail
Their sins that led past marriages to fail!
The bishop will then ask Charles if from now
He will truly be faithful to his wedding vow
I wonder why the bishop still has fears
Over a love that's lasted 35 long years?
It appears the common people have said
It is okay for Camilla and Charles to wed
But we surely do not want to see her as Queen
Name her duchess,consort,or something between!
The Queen herself is fed up of course
Three of her four kids have had a divorce
The tabloids as always are minting pounds
As they ensure royal gossips do the rounds
People are saying Diana would have enjoyed
Reading what all’s pouring out in the tabloid
However...
Maybe the time has now come at last
to let the two be and forget the past?

Celebrity angst
In trying to respond to people’s woes
Vivek Oberoi has stepped on the toes
Of Jayalalitha the Tamil Nadu chief
on the question of his tsunami relief.
She said, "I’m working day and night
and this chap hogs the media limelight
I pray you tell me, is this a fair story?
And when will I get my share of glory?"

Remembering pope John Paul II
I saw him for the first time in Calcutta in 1986. Then a high school student, I remember how we thronged the street outside our school and excitedly waved as pope John Paul II passed by in his 'popemobile'. For us, his glass-cased vehicle was no less an article of awe and discussion.
Then the years flew by and in 2003 I had the good fortune of seeing him again. Standing in St. Peter's square in the Vatican on that November morning, I listened to the pope giving his blessings from the window high above as all around me the faithful catholics craned to get a closer view of the spiritual leader. Though not a catholic, I remember feeling equally reverential in his presence.
I know how I am going to remember him. For me he will always be the person who gave Mother Teresa of Calcutta her rightful place with the saints.
