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...

The Pictures That I Took

Looking at his shoes..
A kid waits.
Chasing ants on a bench.
Stars on his trench..
Lonely eyes at the gate..
Just before sun sets.
A girl rushes through heavy rain
With an umbrella..
As her toes splash water in the narrow lane..
checking her watch..
If she is late.
A whisper in her ear..
After which a smile appears.
Dense clouds..
Beneath the moonlight..
Crowded streets at night..
Two friends walk..
The same way they talk..
As kids in a relic plight.
Dogs chasing shadows..
Hunger peeping windows..
All covered during winter..
Sitting by the fire soaking warmth..
Bits of ashes swarming..
Drops of tears to stare right through
Train arrives with a glance of someone..
Insane eyes for a chance of no one..
Change in color..
While dawn meets morning dew..
Change is captured.
When gone sweeps startling new..
All the pictures that I took..
Can be never well described in a book..
You got to see what they make..
Out of life which just fails to shake..
When you seek to take a look.
