The Whatsapp friend

There's a friend 
for each occasion
One to laugh with
One to cry on virtual shoulders
One to gossip
One for the daily grind
or the occasional recipe.

One for political rants
Another for a movie review
Yet another for spiritual solace
Or reliving old times
in campuses laid-back.

The Whatsapp universe
gives choices aplenty
Choose at will 
Mute for peace
or block on the sly.

But there's no hiding from it all
Unless we choose to be
non- tech savvy
or social media free.
