Those 'Rewarding' Comments

There is no point If you have ‘been there, done that’ Unless you announce so loudly On social sites Show the proof of The ‘Happy Family’ moments You see, enjoying those moments At that very instance Is secondary It is all about looking ahead Thinking of the future And this is just the beginning Because now you Have to check, every now and then Those comments Of your friends Their mushy remarks ‘Oohs’ and ‘Aahs’ Literally dripping their love for you These bring back the twinkle in your Sleep deprived eyes And instantly uplift Your travel weary selves If you do not get a response From someone specific And you want to know Whether he is dead or alive All you have to do is ‘Poke’ him His reaction, a ‘thumbs up’ will Give you the same satisfaction As a complete meal on a hungry stomach And your daughter will tell you ‘Now, it has all been worth it’ Your ‘Thank you’ replies To hundreds such comments Are bound to keep you busy For weeks to come So much for our craving For some ‘social recognition’ If not in the real world Then at least in the virtual one Where no great achievements Are needed to get those ‘Rewarding’ comments
