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...

Labyrinth

I fell down
amid the streets 
got up
dusted myself
wishing 
noone had seen
how I have been
wishing a path
to light beyond
this wrath
to fight beyond 
this aftermath 
but nothing so far
wishing for 
the next turn
after this heavy run 
that can predict 
that the fall can be fun
wishing for
lesser bleed
that doesn't stain the meed
but only
calms down the greed
within that
speaks of being sober 
wishing for
greater stride
when I climb down 
the mountain of pride
while I see faces
that grinched 
at me over and over
wishing fate
to debate
until after
the slate to
be wiped clean
from constant slaughter
wishing pain
to be part
of very much
everything
so that you 
aren't left alone
under a sad looking stone
