As I entered the lounge, my brother who was lying on the sofa and watching TV, ordered me in a very low and polite tone to bring him a glass of water. When I turned, another order was placed and this time it was for the bowl of fruits. Well, after cursing Sheitan Buzurg, I calmly said Labbaik to his list of commands which he had prepared for me.

And he did all of this because I am the “chota” of my home. Sometimes, I feel like I am the same chota any car repairing shop would have. Other mazalim you’ve to bear in your own beloved home, are listed below:

Your nickname is “Baby”

However, being the ‘chota’ is not all about the tortures and mistreatments, sometimes you also get huge benefits for it. The lion’s share from every birthday cake, the clothes of any brother and sister you want, and last but not the least, you have the power of mellow tone in your voice with which you can call your father at the last moment for ice-cream and he’ll never say no!
