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...

Friend

Close your eyes..
Rest your head..
As you find a shoulder of a friend.
Sit back..
Track the sun..
While it sets..
As by your side..
Sipping coffee is a friend.
Laugh louder..
Voice getting bolder.
Echoing amidst the crowd..
Peeps a friend.
Cry childishly..
Turning nose red.
Rolling over the grass bed.
While lying still next to you is a friend.
Thinking of them..
Ballistic overwhelm.
As dreamt of flame..
That fire in you is a friend.
Departed..
Forgotten..
Hiding behind days..
Where once upon a time was a friend.
Nothing can be it..
Replacing a heart beat..
Waiting all night on the street.
Sitting in a room filled with heat.
Changing to be upbeat..
Tears of joyous fleet..
Just to see you is a friend.
