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...

I Lied

I lied..
All this while.
I lied when you looked at me,
Lied when I couldn’t even see.
I lied when you were close,
Lied when you chose.
I lied by the sidewalk,
Lied when you didn’t talk.
I lied to the response,
Lied cause you were gone.
I lied to the fact,
Loosening the impact.
I lied because I couldn’t,
Plead that you shouldn’t.
I lied I don’t know why,
Lie seems easier than cry.
I lied to the truth,
I lied with faith, 
I lied so that you may,
Make your mind to stay.
But you never did lie,
Only you didn’t bother to try.
