My recent study of 20 years has shown me a new side of democracy and autocracy and the ways to find what kind of rule is in a home. To find the ruler just locate TV and its remote control. Make sure every one is sitting infornt of TV. And then notice who controls the TV.
In a democratic family every one will be fighting for the remote control. Brothers and sisters cursing each other. Couples fighting.
In aristocratic setup, Mom and dad commanding, “Go to study/sleep now. Yeh badon ka program hai”. Or Grandpas shouting,”I want X news channel”, where X= News Channel Brand Name.
And in my case My bro or my niece hold the remote and command. My case is more worst. If my bro and niece and me all are at home and my bro has control over TV Remote Control, then am forced to turn on PC and as soon as I login and start working over some document my niece will just attack and will take over the PC. She even wont allow me to save files.
Back at my home in Ludhiana, dad is the ruler. He will either watch Cricket matches or religious channels. I am a known aethist and dont like cricket at all. You can imagine my position. And if Dad is not controlling TV then mom is controlling TV. Kyonki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi.
At my Mama g’s place the system is democratic. There is utter chaos some time and some time pindrop silence. My cousin Bro and sisters have agreed upon some rules, like My bro will not touch the remote when Kyonki kind of serials are on and my sisters wont touch the remote when some Cricket match is on. But when am at their place, the remote is with me.I watch Cartoon/Discovery/ETC Punjabi/Channel [V]/MTV/HBO/Star Movie. Same democratic setup was in our hostel. We used to watch Most Voted for TV channel or else used to enjoy FM.
At my place in Chandigarh my niece is the ruler. She will issue orders, get this and get that, she will call me and say chup kar jao.
BTW she is just a small kid of 5 yrs.
