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...

Rainy Day

Walking back..
On a rainy day..
My coat drenched..
In running water.
Unknowingly splashed laughter..
Are my shoes on the puddle.
A puppy tried to cuddle..
Held my umbrella avoided the muddle.
Gladly acknowledging..
As I smudged right next to her.
My eyes ran into..
Colorful petals left off by the peddler..
Made me think will they ever wish to be a flower again..
Cause with glory comes bitterness and pain.
A knocked out homeless..
Is glad that showers are harmless.
But food will be sparse..
As forbidden becomes wasted morsel.
There’s a girl who sits down pale..
Waiting is difficult..
But endless defeat meets the cult.
Piping hot coffee..
As dancing the smokes fly..
A cookie breaks into two..
And I share it with you.
Nodding in agreement is kindness..
Whimpering sits the penniless..
How I wish to break through !
