			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mihir Bose <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/mihirbose/2008/01/what_was_and_wasnt_said_in_syd.html">writes</a>  something very interesting. Apparently Harbhajan Singh did not call Andrew Symonds <strong>‘monkey’</strong> during the episode at the Sydney Test that provoked the recent cricket crisis between Australia and India. He actually said &#8220;Maaki&#8221;.</p>
<p>Thank god Symonds heard it only as Monkey and not as Maaki, not that he would have understood. If calling him by the name of a very distant primate relative could stir up such trouble, imagine what would have happened had he understood what Harbhajan said that moment. I mean, we are used to the words Maa ki or Bhen ki, since it is spoken minus the word that has an obvious reference to a certain female genital part, But Maa ki only refers to that, and it is a swear word that would not be taken in good light if it were translated in the true form.</p>
<p>Well I have explained more than I should, but Monkey or Maa ki, it shows a very high level of immaturity on our part.</p>
