The house is a mess, the dishes are dirty.
I’m too old for this stuff, I’m well over thirty!
The car is not clean, my hair is a wreck,
And I’ve already spent next Friday’s paycheck.

The laundry needs washing, the kids are too rowdy,
And I never have time for a leisurely “Howdy.”
With all that I do, it’s never enough,
It’s never quite finished, it always looks rough.

I looked in my mirror and what did I see?
A harried old stranger, where I used to be.
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.
Today is tomorrow, and I’m not caught up yet.

My kids are growing at such a fast pace,
That I’m missing their childhood for the sake of this race.
I work and I clean and I cook, and I say
“Hit the books, clean your room!” there’s no time for play.

Well, the Lord, for some reason, chose ME with the care
Of three of His children, but I’m rarely there!
I’ve GOT to slow down lest there’s nothing to show
For my role as their Mom when they pack up and go!

I’m only one person, but look through my door,
What appears to be one, divides into more!
I’m a chauffeur, a cook, a planter of trees,
A teacher, an umpire, a mender of knees.

Sometimes, I forget that deep down inside,
There’s a lady with feelings, and last night, she cried.
She gets tired and lonely, feels taken for granted
She wants to see blooms from the seeds that she’s planted.

Then, amidst all the turmoil in this mind-bending pace,
My little ones look at me square in the face…
And just when I need it, they in unison say,
“Momma, I love you” and then… I’m OKAY!

I may never see tomorrow. There’s no written guarantee, and things that
happened are history. I cannot predict the future. I cannot change the
past. I have just the present moment. I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away, and be lost
forever as part of yesterday. I must exercise compassion, help the fallen
to their feet. Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life
complete.

The unkind things I do today may never be undone, and friendships that I
fail to win may nevermore be won. I may not have another chance on bended
knees to pray, and I thank God with a humble heart for giving
me this day.

“Sometime, we’ll meet again,
Somewhere in the sky,
And, together, we’ll sit
On heaven’s steps;
Watching the stars go by.

Somehow, I’ll find you,
Though the crowds
May be numbered great.
When its your time to come,
I’ll be there, at heaven’s gates.”

That’s what she told us,
When we asked her if we’d ever part.
We told her, if we ever did,
It would surely break our hearts.

As she dried our tears,
She promised that
Our love would never die.
She said we’d always be together
And never say goodbye.

Then, she said, “When God calls me home,
Please don’t grieve or be lonely too long.
For, I’ll be waiting, my dears,
If it takes a million years, for you,
Somewhere, in the sky.

Sometime, we’ll meet again,
Somewhere in the sky,
And together we’ll
Sit on heaven’s steps,
Watching the stars go by.

Somehow, I’ll find you, though
The crowds may be numbered great.
When it’s your time to come,
I’ll be there,
At heaven’s gates.”

~ * ~

Many years have gone by since her promise
And it’s lonely, now, without her near.
But we know, someday,
When God calls us away,
We’ll meet somewhere in the sky.

Sometime, we’ll meet again,
Somewhere in the sky,
And, together, we’ll sit
On heaven’s steps;
Watching the stars go by.

Somehow, we’ll find her, though
The crowds may be numbered great.
When it’s our time to come,
She’ll be there;
At heaven’s gates.

It’s official now ! Coming from the horse’s mouth, Shilpa Shetty has
confessed that she is looking forward to marrying London based
businessman Raj Kundra (fondly called Ripu ) in 18 months time now.


Astro Numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi informs us, that the man in
question is one of his esteemed clients and he seems to predict quiet a
‘happy ending’ to this love story (read marriage ) although with some
better understanding.


Both born in 1975, Shilpa is a No.8 in numerology (June 8 ), a
Gemini (Air sign ) ruled by No.5 (Mercury ) & her destiny number
adds up to No.9. (8 + 6 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 36 = 3 + 6 = 9 ) which
represents a light ‘mangal’ in her birth chart.


On the other hand, Raj is a No.9 in numerology (September 9 ), a Virgo
(Earth sign ) also ruled by No.5 (Mercury ) & his destiny number
adds up to No.4 (9 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 40 = 4 + 0 = 4 ) indicating
‘rahu’ in his ‘kundli’ (horoscope ). (astrologically the combination of
‘rahu’ and ‘mangal’ is appropriate ).


Here it is noticeable that both Raj & Shilpa are commonly
ruled by No.5 (Mercury ) the planet of speed and communication, which
makes them both talkative, frank and outright honest in their
conversations. No hidden feelings or secrets here. They also share the
spontaneity and vibrant energy of No.9 (Mars ).


Even their personal elements ‘Air’ & ‘Earth’ form a good
combination although Raj will feel lonely and depressed in absence of
Shilpa especially when she is traveling.


But as far as the foundation level of their relationship is concerned,
they are directly dominated by tough, aggressive and ferocious planets
Saturn (No.8 ) and Mars (No.9 ), as a result of which they could end up
in big fights during arguments, discussions etc. since they both have
strong opinions, likes and dislikes.


A feeling of competition and ego problems could creep in between them
with little or no room for compromise. Acting with maturity and
handling the matter with utmost care and sensitivity at such times is
recommended.
She is advised to stay abroad after marriage and can come back for work
from time to time.

“I can’t go through it all over again” declares Shilpa Shetty, when she
was asked if she would take part in this year’s ‘Big Boss’.

For
starters, Shilpa happens to be the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ winner cum
actress cum entrepreneur cum many other avatars bundled into one!

She
exclaims the above mentioned famous words in the latest issue of
‘People’, the niche magazine, of which she also happens to be the
cover-girl.

Not just this, she also has made many other
confessions, which includes her relationship with her boyfriend- the
London based entrepreneur Raj Kundra.


Not many know the fact that Raj was also a part of the Akshay-Karisma
flick Mere Jeevan Saathi (as a producer), and the recently released
Strangers that starred Jimmy Sheirgill with Sonali Kulkarni and Nandana
Sen.

The
good news is that Raj is also a part of a film venture that Shilpa is
producing! That doesn’t mean that Shilpa will be saying adieu to
heroine roles. Testimony of this is the fact that she is having her
next venture The Man coming up with Sunny Deol.

When asked
about the difference between being an actress and a producer, she
simply blushes in her trademark style to say that “You don’t get as
pampered as an actress”.


Well, looking at Raj’s deep and dedicatedly committed eyes, he truly
looks like the ‘Pampering Personified’ types! If that’s the case,
where’s the point to complain, Shilpa?

After bidding adieu to all the problems that were nagging her life has
finally started looking up for the Ameesha girl both on a professional
and personal level!

With her latest release Thoda Pyaar Thoda
Magic Ameesha climbed the charts; both her looks and acting were
praised to the hilt.


er snaps as a Runaway Bride in this issue of Verve indeed anchors itself in the readers hearts mind body and soul!

Needless
to say that Ameesha is a chic herself but she adds a certain aura and
glory to the already glorious range of Louis Vuitton Prada Falguni
Shane Suneet Varma Hermes (to name a few) range by posing with them.

She
in her own words confesses “I am still enjoying the limited edition
Dior Jazz bag that Kanav gifted me on my birthday a couple of months
ago.” Whereas on a professional front this pretty lass is looking
forward to films like Run Bhola Run Chatur Singh Two Star etc…


On a parting note one simply wonders if the Runaway Bride looks as
gorgeous as Ameesha who wouldnt want to run away with her! What
say Ameesha!
