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...

Be Nice

Speak nicely

because that's

what is going

to give you

some people

alongside 

if you don't

then get ready

to die alone


Be nice

even if you don't

want to

otherwise

you need to

learn the art of

swallowing

medicines

without water

being a part

of conversations

without laughter



Don't suffocate

yourself to blurt

out the truth

no one wants

to hear it

so even if you

know it

keep it to yourself


Don't educate

just recommend books

as looks are going

to shred away

and no living being

loves to listen to

a talking skeleton


Strictly keep

advices to yourself

if you don't

get ready to see

some really weird eyebrows 

raised

as for them if 

they aren't animals

your human words

can't amaze


Learn to 

forget the dead

because if you

remember them

more than 

their closer ones

then you are

the ghost of the dead

haunting your own self

till eternity


If you care

don't you dare

say a word

sit there still

when anxious

pop a pill

lay there

unconscious

but don't try to

beat down bias

coz mother's can be harmful


They don't

want you to 

talk when they say

we want to hear from you

they just want to

know who are

the outliers

that they

need to take care

to bury down a rebellion


Independence can be freeing

if it's just giving you money

for listening to someone

then chasing a bird

while climbing a tree

befriending a bear

for a jar of honey

might be more comforting

but we all have to do

what needs to be done


when the flowers 

fly away from my grave

hopefully some animals

do use it as a cave

when it rains...

that reminds 

I will be torched

then my ashes 

as good as dust
