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. I was the youngest, in my father's family and I had a total of 6 elder cousins to look upto, including my elder brother. When I started school...

Let Me Not

Let me not sit and cry all day..
Let me not try and stay forever.
Let me not play the sad songs..
Let me not verify all the wrongs.
Let me not fit into the broken picture some way..
Let me not treat the denture with clay.
Let me not count the drops that fell..
Let me not dismount the stories they tell.
Let me not think of what could have happened..
As it didn’t go that way.
Let me not see the false mirage.
Let me not free the glass voyage.
Let me not hold those moments any more..
Let me not frown those laments even more.
Let me not go down the path again…
Let me not show up at the door that has a fake window pane.
