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.

Camouflage

Shed those wings..
If they don’t aid to fly.
Shed those tears..
If they always make you cry.
Shed those notions..
That refrain you from try.
Shed those attractions..
That lead you to lie.
Shed the skin..
That outgrows.
Shed the thoughts..
That overflows.
Shed the fin..
That delays the swim.
Shed the tail..
That drags you to fail.
Shed the color..
That shows you pale.
Shed the bone..
That holds you back.
Shed the tone..
That easily cracks.
Shed what’s beneath if it’s getting weak..
Shed the voice underneath that’s getting meek.
Shed and grow over..
Shed and go beyond.
As camouflage has to seek..
Behind it’s hiding streak.
