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...

Too Much Love

 I have been too much in love,
to see the sorrow it hides..
I have seen pain,
while love grows insane,
I have cried all night,
when all I wanted was to
end the fight..
 
I have been too much in love,
to see the lack of depth inside..
I have seen smiles,
that don’t mean anything,

I have seen teardrops,
that fall and deny,
I have seen broken pieces,
scattered everywhere,
when all I wanted was someone to hold me together..
 
I have been too much in love,
to ignore the poison that kills one side..
I have slept through open eyes..
waiting on responses,
I have kept withholding the lies..
sitting at the table for hours,
I have seen myself vanquishing,
trying to fit into a dress I will never wear..
when all I wanted was someone to stop treating me as a spare..
 
I have been too much in love,
look at how obsessive this all sounds..
I hope when you read it,
you still find me around..
amidst empty cups dusting a shelf,
with a picture frame,
of us still looking at each other..
like I always wanted us to be…
