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...

No You Will Not Cry

No you will not cry..
You fool.
Don’t try to be wet and miserable..
Instead play this cool.
No you will not cry..
Or break open every word you heard..
As a memorable token.
And besides no one is sitting thinking about you..
No you won’t be missed in the very few ..
No you won’t have known this before or would have any clue.
No you will not cry..
So don’t you even try..
If this doesn’t hold true then stop asking why.
It’s the more you ask..
The more you hate the mask.
Which was worn or adapted..
While you kept being the same..
Someone just retracted..
So don’t you cry..
Give it not more than a thought or two.
Don’t defy stop figuring out woe..
No you will not cry..
And if that makes you happy..
Let it be a self inflicted lie.
So not a sigh..
Or a drop of smear.
Tougher as it gets..
It eases when kept near..
And you won’t find out until..
One day it disappears.
