LIFE=STATISTICS=LIFE

There are a lot of people around I see who are bored of the word "STATISTICS", but my life essentially revolves around this word which I think is good enough actually to define your whole life. Essentially, everyone of us, indulges in this partially atleast. Think a bit, don't you sometimes count, the speed at which you are driving, don't you sometimes think the number of glasses of water you drink in a day! Ok forget all of this, don't you think of getting to work/school or anywhere at a particular time. What is all this, it is statistics.

Some people(read me :)) over-indulge in numbers. I simply love defining everything in terms of numbers. Starting from the game I play, to the project I work in, the number of times I listen to a song, to the number of times I eat at a place. Life therefore looks simple to me, but complicated and boring to a lot many others. But I get a cool feeling being able to churn out numbers for my explanations.

But a word of caution, this tool of life, can be influenced and shown in the light in which you want to show it, and not necessarily the light it deserves to be shown in!! A common example of this is the cricket statistics, which can sometimes raise a player to the stature of "GOD", and the next moment doom him to "HELL".

Advice for all is : Do use statistics to some extent, don't over-indulge in them, but they sure can make your life interesting!!
