Colon Family...

The matriarchal or the patriarchal system has been followed in our country since ages. But with the PC becoming an eternal part of our lives nowadays, I have observed the folder hierarchy of late which prevails in the colon family.

Here the head of the family is obviously the well known C:, I'm almost sure that the person who devised it was weak in grasping alphabets as it doesnt begin from A:, which is given to floppy drive, which is almost obsolete now. The head of the family contains all the installations, programs, games and actually every garbage that's possible...so obviously it started getting burdened with all the responsibilities and whenever the PC used to get into coma, there was no chance of reviving it back. Then entered the concept of formatting in which each son was passed on exclusive businesses of C: as in D: became for songs, E: for games and so on..so that at least some type of plastic surgery could be performed and with certain operations , either of the colons could be revived.

Then came the eternal problem of naming the baby which took the form of folders, which not only has surname but 100 middle names and then its own name!!
D:\My Songs\Bunty Aur Babli\Chup Chupke.mp3
D:\My Songs\Kya Love Story Hai\Its Rocking.mp3
D:\My Pictures\Aby Baby\bluffmaster.jpg

When you actually look at the hierarchy, sometimes you come across hilarious combinations like the above. So if one child goes missing, its almost an endless search because even if one uses the "search" feature, there are kids with same name under different colon heads!!
