Where is this heading to?

I was surprised to find that the "Bhaji-Monkey-Symonds" issue was still being seriously debated in India and Australia. For knowing the current status, i looked at rediff and as i was going through the article covering the controversy, i found an interesting piece. This was from Justice John Hansen's judgement, which was released by ICC:


"Mr Tendulkar heard nothing he told me he heard a heated exchange and wished to calm Mr Singh down. His evidence was that there was swearing between the two. It was initiated by Mr Symonds. That he did not hear the word "monkey" or "big monkey" but he did say he heard Mr Singh use a term in his native tongue "teri maki" which appears to be pronounced with a "n". He said this is a term that sounds like "monkey" and could be misinterpreted for it"


Why am i unable to stop laughing!! Mr.Gavaskar, are you listening? :)
