Power

OK, first and foremost: this hasn't got anything to do with the world power balance, I'm too slaphappy a man to care about the likes.

The power-balance stands disturbed today. Ever since November 8th, 1993 (my younger sister's birth) the power balance in our home has been tilting in her favour. I've had numerous friends ask me about why do I treat my sibling sister so nicely. All that, just changed today.

I've come back home after a long long time, needless to say parents are showering me with affection, the focus of which for the past 15 years had been her, of which for the past 2 years, she was the exclusive one! Now she is just another desperate teen of today. Again needless to say she that throws a lot of tantrums. In one of those many today, I found that she had crossed the limits and had hidden something very personal & sentimental to me... All I did was just take her laptop, change the status of my user to "administrator" & that of all other users to that of "limited user" and then password protect all her files so that only I could access it. I then handed over the laptop as if nothing had happened.

In a matter of seconds, the gargantuan monster I'd anticipated was facing me; only for me to tell her: "What you've seen is not even a fraction of what I can do. Simply because I chose not to, doesn't mean that I CAN NOT make life miserable for you. Now, I'm going out for a few minutes; when I return, I better find things as they were, or they shall be worse for you!" A few minutes later, I recieved a phone call converying successful restoration of my possessions. Of course the war doesn't end there; but then what chance does Pakistan have against India when India declares war (provided India has the political will of course, eh!?)

For a lion who has been vegetarian all its life; this is like savouring the most exquisite venison. Now I understand what joys I've missed all these years & further doubt if the vegan in me shall ever stand resurrected again. But it's definitely not me who's complaining!

Hasmukh :)
