Friendly Addiction: Unlimited Interactions

  In life, we get all kinds of friends, some close, some closer, some strangers, some travelers. In my experience, at one point in my life, I had more than 500 friends, during my school days back in Carmel Convent School, Hamirpur, Rourkela. My parents would constantly see me getting phone calls, and visitors independent of their demographics.      My father would smile and say, "Jenny, are you an IAS officer?, that you get so many calls in a day?" . I used to laugh in response and say, "Paa, they all want me to solve their problems, and I love the attention".     How did this happen?, it didn't happen when I started school, trust me, I was really shy, hardly talking and surprisingly even my teachers in kindergarten had escalated issues, stating that I don't even show classwork to teachers during the class.

Child In You

Blowing bubbles..
Popping one by one.
Splashing water..
Roaring with laughter.
Going round and round..
Until you hit the ground.
Rowing innocence..
With simplifying nonsense.
Bowing with gratitude..
To avoid solitude.
Rattling stubbornness..
Fighting keenness.
Hitting the run..
Not forfeiting the fun.
Holding the need..
Never thinking where it leads.
Fearless trip..
And a never ending grip.
Instant tears..
With wholesome cheers.
The art of discover..
Ignoring the cover.
Truth ain’t trouble..
And lies are feeble.
Your reflection distracts..
What attracts is the child in you.
