Independent events are like my wife's medicine schedule and my morning oiling of the machine—one happening does not affect the other. Mutually exclusive events are like my tired eyes and fine stitching at dusk—both cannot happen together. You subtract P(A and B) only when events can overlap, so you do not count that overlap twice, just as I cannot count the same rupee for both rice and *ambali*. My life in data science teaches me that real-world events are rarely exclusive; they tangle together like thread in my old basket.
