Illogical Logic

My brain has always been immune to logical understanding especially the stereotypical logical analysis types. Where if A is bigger than B , b is biger than C than C has to be smaller than A.Going by this logic West Indies lost to India, India lost to Bangladesh. Then does that make Bangladesh a stronger team than India & West Indies.

Logic it self is based on a fallacy - if everything else remains constant ...but I cant recall a single incident in life when 'everything else has remained constant ' .

The irony is that this illogica logic is more than often used to judge a person's IQ & ability.

whatsay people?

expecting brickbats from the logical and bouquets from the illogical

Cricket : the curse of Farmers

I attended a workshop on what ails agriculture & farmer suicides. The entire day experts discussed & debated about the root cause of farmers problem ranging from free trade agreements with ASEAN to Agriculture out of WTO , reducing tarrif lines to amber box subsidies.

However, what stayed with me was this :

When Sharad Pawar was asked how serious is the problem with agriculture? the 'honarable' minister replied : "It is so grim that I cannot be the ICC President for the coming year"

I think thats the problem that ails agriculrure today. The person in charge is more concerned with 15 odd men in blue than half a billion people toiling in the fields.

and look what wonders he has done to them : the men in blue surrendered to minnows bangladesh. I wish the politicians did limit themselves to what best they do : Nothing
