Age of Empires

Recollecting yesterday's dream !!! I watched a recent Hindi flick "BhoolBhullaiya" late night and slept. The movie had a little suspense( I bet there was) and some crappy old kingdom story line; but overall it sucked.. But I had a related dream...thats what i found worth mentioning.

In the dream I am the ruler of a kingdom and as expected had all the luxuries of life ; reigning over a good part in India ..though can't recall which part.. Anyways...I had the best people around me who would care about my comforts and who were bound to follow me.. and to my surprise now...I was an ideal king as many would say in the dream kingdom. The state had been built on a good plan. Monarchy was prevailing and the king had it all .The state was really well governed and virtually free of crime and as the rules of land made by me were tough(I had the best law makers) ! The extracts being instant death sentences in case of not fully abiding by the law and yeah people feared the law keepers from what I recall now. I had the police on patrol in the kingdom 24*7 and they knew they duties. The criminals held in the kingdom were brought to me in my darbar and a hearing was done and then i used to decide their fates !
It was just another day in the kingdom and a criminal had been caught . just when I started to feel now I am going to use my power and decide his fate but suddenly my door was knocked then only and my wingie woke me up and the culprit Gupta was cursed ! The kingdom was lost and the criminal would have been still biting his nails waiting the decision.Damn it ,I was not able to catch the sleep again and lost the silly dream.
But now when i think about that i am confused and somehow feel that it ain't a bad idea to have states in the 21st century like kingdoms with monarchy.I know democracy cant be replaced by this and its a poor thought.. but still it's to complete my dream story... Yeah its a fact that crime rates used to be lower than today at the times of great rulers in India but again it could have been the people who were loyal and good at those times unlike present day people who tend to be more glossy and its an accepted fact that they belong to a generation of equal opportunities to all. Not all were allowed to be kings in earlier times unlike today and no body can be denied any right in the present date. But still it is possible to choose our kings and obey them and their laws in states . Not that they wont be followed as people show signs of following others even in modern date.Following a king in a state ; I believe is not on cards these days but not impossible . Modern date people fan follow Shahrukh and the likes like mads, pray cricket as a religion ; they listen good music, know their own Indian and western quotients ; believers follow religions and many others do more similar stuff that gives signs of monarchy in this world too.
Ending here on this note that the day democracies fail in this world, which might be the case seeing the present day crimes,corrupt standards,world politics ; Monarchies are going to make a comeback and I am of a firm belief that the kingdoms and the people will be better off as per safety norms and the sufferings in the modern society will be less compared to now; the only need is to make sure the best kings are chosen !
And I want to re-dream my kingdom tomorrow night! Probably acting selfish here as I am the 'Power'.
