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...

Leave it all alone

I wish 
I can be normal 
Like sitting with someone
Drinking tea
With the whole world to see


I wish
I cannot cry
and tears don't just come out
The moment someone blames 
me for doing all things right 


I wish
I can just see happy faces
without endless chases
just sitting right next door
is the girl with keys to explore


I wish
I can draw on top of what's not working
and rub the one's that pokes fun at me
fixing everything that's broken
mixing emotions to stalk the unspoken

I wish
I don't think about
life and death 
What's beyond our control 
leave them the way it is

I wish 
I stop wanting to win so much
I stop wanting to be kissed or a simple touch
I stop wanting that people hold doors wide open for me
I stop wanting a well carved future for me
leave it all alone
until my bone just melts to ashes
