One of my friends, whose life is all about WATCHING cricket, always chants, "no knowledge of cricket means, no meaning for life". Whenever I meet this guy, I'll start thinking about, "how true his statement is?" , subconsciously.
So, I decided to gain more and more knowledge of cricket. Unfortunately, after couple of month, I gained enough knowledge to give counter arguments with the same friend, in the matter of CRICKET. Thanks to world cup match at that time.
Obviously, there was a serious arguments flooded between us about the world cup cricket matches. Still, I couldn't empathy regarding "no knowledge of cricket means, no meaning for life". So, "how come you felt it", I asked. As I am already had enough knowledge to discuss with him, he couldn't argue with me much. So, I told him that, now onwards, better to chant, "no knowledge about one's country's politics mean, no life".
"Ooops! what the hell with you. how come you can say that?", he said.
"Why not?", I questioned.
He crisply said, "politics is dirty, corrupted, cheating, and...etc...". How can you compare it with such an international and professional game, CRICKET.
I triggered couple of questions like,
"on what basis do you think, it's a PROFESSIONAL game?" ,
"What's your reason to give so much importance to it than politics?".
His reasoning was, politics dirty (AGAIN THE SAME WORD), its full of corruption, no politician is sincere about his job. Those dirty (AGAIN :( the same word) politicians always try to win more money than to serve the people, for which they are actually for. [ He likes the word "DIRTY" more than cricket it seems :D ]. After listening to his yelling arguments, I said, there are DIRTY things in cricket too. match fixings, selection of players for a game,etc... Moreover, there are very good politicians who strive to serve the pople. rather than, I can say, COUNTRY. Like, netaji subhash chandrabose, sardar vallabai patel, atal bihari vajpayee, etc. Immediately, his question was, "how may are there like that now?"
I said, as long as we are considered as citizen of INDIA, we must know what's going around? and who is ruling US? and Why? After all I am saying about politics but, politician.
So, our discussion is completely on CRICKET or POLITICS?
I am tired of convincing him to agree with my arguments in vain; But, I understood a great lesson from him is, "
CRICKET or POLITICS ?
I have tried convincing him to agree with my argument
"If you don't know anything about politics of your country, you are USELESS".
But, I that, "You can't change a person's way of thinking or attitude with the argument. May be you are on upper hand at that point of time. But, you'll never be able to change his view. Because, his intension was to prove that, his argument is true. If he can't compete with his reasoning, next time, he will try to come with more info to argue with you. But, argument never changes a person's view".
Anyways, after all he said, compare the ration of total number of match fixing players with total number of players and corrupted politicians with total number of politicians. Then, U'LL UNDERSTAND.
He left immediately, without waiting for words to come out from my mouth.
I was in deep thinking....
I am asking my self that,
can you judge an industry or whatever based on these mathematical calculations or statistics ?
Who knows? how many of the cricket players are busy in match fixing rather than playing cricket? Might be, you were able to caught some. But, what about the rest?
Media is always vigilant about political moves. Apparently, everyone keeps an eye on it.
Moreover, politics is related to citizens of a country and its growth. Apparently, it's easy to find out the culprit.
But, we can't say which is best based on these mathematical calculations. We have to concentrate on so many areas before judging an industry.
I have concluded with my reason is, If a player is not doing his job right, it's his behavior. How can you justify a game based on couple of the bad incidents/players.
Game was there long before these idiots were born. Be it, cricket, politics or anything you take into consideration.
Bottom line is, NO GAME IS DIRTY. ONLY THE PLAYERS. apparently, it becomes, NO GAME IS DIRTY UNLESS THE PLAYERS....
