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...

A Brave Story Of An Ant

I am dead and cold, 
I was never told
How it feels 
Like I feel now
It's a lot still
Than just a minute before
I have been obsequious
Than usual
Yes, I am not just an ant
When infant
I was taught
To work every instant
Feeding on leftovers
Ripping apart carcasses
I refused to become
A part of this massacre
One day helped
A wounded bird
That was already
One third
I started sewing them back
Healing one from the dead
With a needle and a thread
They gave me fruits to eat
And flew me through 
The mighty sky
I never knew that I would be able to fly
The fellow ants hated me
But saving lives was the fate I chose
Over most of them close
But unfortunately that came to an end
As a fierce mother
Did poke to choke my emulsified pretence
My absence wasn't felt
But a lot of them wept
As I slept going farther
The ant that saved birds
They flew in herds
As unheard I was
Looked through the icy box
My father felt proud at last
I wasn't an ant that 
Got lost in the crowd
But I made him proud
While gliding beyond the cloud
