Perception wins half the argument

Been having a lot of arguments recently, and one thing that I learnt from it, is the fact that people are more often than not clouded by perception to begin with.. if you walk into a discussion/argument thinking that the other person is ready to listen to you in a unbiased way, then where the heck have you been living (or on what)???!!
Arguments largely center not through getting facts right (at the end of very many discussions nobody even remembers what we were arguing about), but on the ability to win over the other persons opinion of you, and to make that person relate to you and your freaked out thoughts!!! The moment that is done, atleast a peaceful truce/draw is ensured!

Dangerous game, can be a high stakes, high risk gamble, as there is a chance that you might get pulled into this mode, if the other person's got a solid argument! But then, as my grandpa once put it - life, like the old pendulum clock, is a heck a lot better when its ticking, swinging from one side to the other, rather than staying still 'in the middle'. You know what that's called....

CSK all the way....

Finally, after a lot of blips and dips, we seem to be scratching together something close to a run to enter the final 4.... early days, but somehow this streak might just be enough for us to enter the semis.
My prediction...... CSK will do it this time, will go the distance.
