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...

Seek Yourself

Be nice..
To yourself.
Put up a smile..
And dress yourself.
The journey is far..
Embrace yourself.
Don’t ask too many questions..
Guess yourself.
Ahh you are wise..
Suit yourself.
Wait for the drum roll..
I bet there wouldn’t be any.
Soon the dark will feed on you..
Without you having a clue or two.
Warm yourself.
You want to be good..
Find some food..
And stay foolishly hungry.
You don’t want to be rude..
Then obey while being sheepishly angry.
Become the odd one..
Choose the broad one..
Remember the roads wide open..
Always end up broken.
Count beyond the stars..
Don’t pretend that you know the wars..
Where people bled for freedom.
Where people had no thoughts or boredom.
There was life which was killing..
And death that came unwilling.
Sense yourself.
Smell the odor..
Of an undue favor..
Don’t sit too far..
Be afraid of the closure.
Look through windows alone..
Capture a feeling under tone..
Some people left with no other choices..
So treat yourself better..
Be present for the world..
Voice yourself..
While problems go unheard hidden behind..
The dismantle noises.
