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...

Without You

No I won’t go..
Not without you.
The thunder roars..
Just to scare you.
Fallen trees smear..
The pathway.
No I won’t go..
Not without you.
Give me your hand..
Pull me by your side.
Don’t just lie there..
That ain’t fair.
As the raven crows..
Staring back at you.
No I won’t go..
Not without you.
Kiss me right on my forehead.
Lie to me as your eyes fade away.
Look at me as you ignore..
Get up now I can hear you snore.
No I won’t go..
And this isn’t you.
Cause you always..
Listen when the sun goes down.
While here I am sitting alone wearing your favorite gown.
