Once Paul and his friends were travelling through woods to distant town, Paul found a dead Hare with 3 legs, and said to his friends its strange with 3 legs Hare’s are so swift, one of his friend giggled and said “No, Paul Hare’s have 4 legs”, which agitated Paul and said “don’t you see Hare has got only 3 legs, I’ve it right in my Hand”. Paul’s friend said, may be this Hare is handicapped or lost one in an accident, Hare’s have 4 legs, check with our friends if you want, without any doubt every one said “yes, Hare’s have 4 legs”.
Paul was not able to accept it, he got a hare in his hands with 3 legs, said to his friends “just because you all chorus it doesn’t mean it has got 4 legs, I’ve one in my hand as proof with 3 legs, so all Hare’s should have 3 legs, if you all say it has got 4 legs, show me the proof with at least one hare with 4 legs” now all the friends are in trouble, find a live hare in woods is not an easy task, more over they have to capture it so that they can show to there friend Paul.
Friends started hunting for a hare, they spent hours after hours, all in vain, and returned empty handed to Paul, and said they cant find one, Paul said you cant find one because there is none, just by side passed a hunter with a hunted hare in his hand, that was relief to all the friends, and showed the hare to Paul, unfortunately has shot the hare on one of its leg, which has chopped its leg, and it has got only 3 legs, which strengthen the Paul’s claim, friends want to get out of the argument and leave Paul to live in his belief, but at the same they don’t want Paul to live in something which is not correct.
They decided to hunt for the hare again, and this time after several hours they manage to hunt one, and showed the same to Paul, to there astonishment, Paul said “may be your hare has got one extra limb, just like you claimed mine as handicapped, as I have two hares with just 3 legs, and you got only one with 4, to consider this I need more evidences”. Now all the friends were stunned, and were about to give up, as it become more difficult to prove hare’s have 4 legs, however they don’t want their friend to be an ignorant. They went in search of hares again and they came out with couple of hare’s fortunately all with 4 legs.
Paul verifying all the hares leg said “you all took whole day to find hares with four legs, where only me found hares with 3 legs in few hours, so it seems to find hares with four legs are rare and with 3 legs are common, as per my knowledge I infer that hares with 3 legs are more than the hares with 4 legs, I accept that hares have 4 legs, however it seems that hares with 3 legs are common, what you all say?
This dumbed all the friends.

For The Sake Of Argument
For away from home, in the other part of the world, is the sickest thing that I can ever imagine, however, staying with friends who are warm and friendly people to work with, then take it for granted, you are in heaven, I’m in Boston most of the year since last year, I started enjoying this, on the social view it has given me different dimension, I’m a person for a physiological quest, I was in an assumption that I know enough about the people where I live, and it is shattered by one of my friend staying with me in Boston.
We often get into arguments sometimes it becomes really hot and heavy, but only verbal clashes within dignity. I’m going to discuss few such arguments here, it was a fine spring noon, with clear sky and all, at a distant place in the sky I saw a light, so bright and all, I showed that to Bharath and asked him what it would be, Bharath had a lazy look at it and said “it is an airplane” I said dude cannot be, it is so bright outside and a clear sky, and sun is brighter outside, moreover the light is not flashing, I said “it cannot be a flight”, in just a wink the light disappeared, I called Bharath again and asked him where did the light go?, its not there anymore, he reluctantly answered, probably the flight has landed, I again stressed, it cannot be an airplane and kept mum, and I was thinking in myself, may be Bharath is correct, it is an airplane, however I was not convinced, that it could be a flight.
As to break the silence, Bharath asked “if that is not an airplane, what do you think it is?” I sincerely don’t have an answer, I thought for a second or so and gave an insane answer it might be an UFO, I know it totally doesn’t make any sense, I just want to cut it off there, but it turned out to be an argument when Sripall said “Good, atleast you did say it is Krishna’s Chakra”, I know he got pissed off, it really showed the Sripall’s frustration, let me try to explain about Sripall, he is man who needs a scientific explanation to support any statement, and he may or may not accept the logical explanation, he is an atheist to the core, but practices Zen and Tao philosophy, without even knowing it. Anything without a scientific explanation pisses him off, So there is no wonder that he got pissed off when I say it is an UFO, as there is no scientific explanation for UFO.
And I don’t know whether knowing the heat Bharath changed the topic, or it is just a coincidence, he started teasing, the way I use introduce myself to others, though my first name is Gopi, I like to refer myself as Krishna which is my last name. Bharath asked its your name after all, why don’t you like your first name, and I questioned him why don’t you call me the way I prefer to be called, Sripall joined Bharath asking me, why you don’t like your first name, I seriously don’t want answer that question, to Sripall, as my answer is not supported by any scientific experiments or may be it is, but I don’t have the reference, so I avoided it and bluntly said, just call me the way I preferred to be called. Bharath said that I got pissed off to Sripall, and I said “No, I was not pissed off”, Bharath keep saying that I’m pissed off, and I drafted a reference to prove that I was not pissed off and said “if what Sripall said is due to frustration, when I mentioned the bright object as UFO, I can understand why you people are saying that I’m pissed off, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense to me”, and there was pin drop silence for a min or so both there faces are blank.
Bharath concluded that I’m really pissed off, but I’m not till this point, all I was trying is to, make them understand that I’m not pissed off, after this point I started asking myself, why I need to prove that I’m not frustrated, and that frustrated me.
I’m not sure have they got my logical reference and still thinking that I’m just referenced something insanely let me know if any of you before I start digging it further…
