It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you !

Which one is better ?

So lets talk about comparing things…the case of two friends comparing two things .

You say ‘A’ is better and your friend says ‘B’ is better ! Now what’s really better??

Now one obvious way of comparing two things is to,

  • note down all important attributes of ‘A’ and ‘B’
  •  compare the attributes
  • declare the winner as the one which has most number of favorable or better attributes.

Now how can you decide which attribute is better? They can sometimes be outright facts !

For example we have a comparison between Tea and Vodka !!

If we take the attribute of healthiness, tea wins vodka hands down.Does that make Tea a better drink?No ways !! We have various attributes under various circumstances !Analyzing them all and arriving at an agreeable judgment is next to impossible!!

Things get really interesting when the friend supporting Tea has never drunk Vodka and the friend supporting Vodka has never drunk tea :) Now neither will concede that their drink is not better . So we have a problem on comparison !

Please note that,

  1. we are dealing with comparison of TWO things only
  2. Argument is among two friends with no other living soul nearby to take sides or provide judgment

Now how can these two people really come up with a judgment !! Confusing? Here’s a simple way !

Suggest a new item belonging to the same category in which ‘A’ and ‘B’ falls.Let’s say that is ‘C’ Choose ‘C’ such that both friends have experience or encounter with ‘C’ before. If ‘A’ is better than ‘C’ and ‘B’ is worse than ‘C’ then ‘A’ wins.

For example, The friends choose Coffee as ‘C’. Friend supporting Tea says that Tea is better than Coffee, while friend supporting Vodka says that Coffee is better than Vodka. This makes Tea as the Winner. Both friends should accept it :) But in most cases what happens is,

  1. the one supporting ‘A’ tells ‘A’ is better than ‘C’ and the one supporting ‘B’ tells ‘B’ is better than ‘C’… and in very very rare cases
  2. both friends agree ‘C’ is better than both ‘A’ and ‘B’

In situations 1 and 2 we cannot arrive at a judgment! So what to be done?? Choose different ‘C’ and repeat the process..Continue until you get a judgment or a friend gets dejected or irritated (like how you are after reading this utterly meaningless piece of blog post :P )

Thanks for reading this patiently !!

I promise you that my next blog post wont be as irritating as this one !

A Heading ?

A sailor seldom sails without a heading(direction of the destination).

I started this blog long long ago after getting inspired by various blogs and posts that were interesting and fun to read.

Well begun—>half done.

My blog remained only half done for months…I dint write even a single post ! Weird, it may seem.

Today am soooooo(the extra ‘o’ s mean am enlarging or stressing the importance of the word ‘so’ ! please pronounce it as the normal good old ‘so’ )bored…, bored to an extend that i actually started writing a post for my Blog. Wow !

But before writing a post i would like to inform you in nutshell, what was actually holding me back from writing a post..

!.     Am lazyyyyyyyy (you are used to this kind of repetitive letter in a word now right ?! )

@.  I was not ready to write any random post that was as boring as your textbooks (particularly the raw theory ones) !

#.    I forgot the fact that i actually OWN a blog( i could hear some of you saying “aamam periya Docomo company owner..wordpress la freeya oru blog open pannitu pesura pecha paaru”… )

Note: A word in CAPS is intended to make the readers not to miss the word while skimming, since the absence of that word in that sentence may make a group of sentences irrelevant !

I will be posting when i find the heading to my next post !

[For those who noticed the weird numberings i used(!,@,#) : They are the characters that get typed if you press shift while typing 1,2,3. Kudos if you already know that ]
