Just like Gandhi II ( check out the video link in the left column of this blog), apparently being a Holy Man is not enough a gun is needed to create the discipline.
Not getting the drift!! Ok, I refer to the shooting outside the Shopper's stop by Baba Ram Rahim's bodygaurds that killed a man.
Baba sparked a riot by making an unscheduled stop at the Mall while on his way to preach to a gathering. I guess, killing a man gives you that ultimate inner peace which you can then pass on to the audience listening to your discourse. Maybe there's some other explanation - like you can learn and preach non-violence only when you have tasted violence , first hand.
Either way, a man is dead because a so called holy man went for retail therapy. Umm, I guess I'll stay away from any place that has a holy man coming. Catholic priests have already spread enough man-love as it is and now this guy is a shining example of non-violence through violence.
You must watch Gandhi 2 video. Again, its not to make fun of Gandhiji - one of the finest men that ever lived this planet. This is just a bit of humor that I'm sure even he would have liked if he was still alive.
God knows, we do need men like him right now.
Wait a minute, we do have modern day holy men like Baba Ram rahim.

Tiger Wins, Miller Looses .... his head and respect that is
So you know the story, Tiger plays like an injured Tiger and comes back from behind, not once but twice and wins over Rocco Mediate in the US Open Golf Championship and that is phenomenal.
Rocco though can keep his head high, he challenged the best player in the golfing world and had a near-win.
In the whole game though, Johhny Miller lost his head and respect of all golfers and sports players. Now you may have never heard of this idiot Miller and hopefully will never hear of this slimeball again but for now, know that he's the "golf analyst" on the TC channel- ABC.
This is what he said about Rocco on the national TV " Mediate looks like the guy who cleans Tiger’s swimming pool."
He then went on to say, “Guys with the name ‘Rocco’ don’t get on the trophy, do they?”
Somebody should ask this low class , third rate analyst about his golf knowledge but more importantly what sewer he comes from!
As for apology after there was a commotion over his remarks, this is what he comes up with, " My intention was to convey my affection and admiration for Rocco’s everyman qualities and had absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity." Point to note here is that Rocco is of Italian heritage.
So we are to believe that his remarks are out of his affection for Rocco. Wow. I guess I can call him an a$$hole out of affection then. Here's to you with love; you a$$hole.

To Be Or Not to be - a refree in the NBA
Before I pen my thoughts ( I think this phrase is outdated now, who pens their thoughts anymore, we just key-in/type what we think but I digress) I have to say that I realized y'day that ranting against NBA should be least of my/our priorities, what with the inflation, war, ecosystem's near-collapse, poverty, racialism and more important issues out there in the open.
Having said that, lets get back on NBA. So in my office we were discussing the NBA finals (though my colleagues know that I become a raving lunatic every time someone mentions NBA League Officials or the Referees, they can't resist to needle me and I can't resist to be provoked) and my colleagues wanted my views on NBA finals and who will win it, now that Celtics are 3-1 up in the series.
So I'll share with you the breakdown of next there games;
Game 5 - Lakers
Game 6 - Lakers
Game 7 - Celtics
I'll also share with you why I think it'll be this way;
Everyone knows that Celtics have been a ragged team ever since the playoffs started so many have been surprised at their surprising lead over Lakers who looked infallible going into the Finals. Didn't Lakers defeat such teams as Utah and Spurs and didn't Celtics seem to be bumbling idiots while playing Atlanta and Cleveland.
So what makes them suddenly appear the claimants to the throne??????
Allow me, Ladies and Gentlemen to introduce to you;
David Stern and the
NBA Referees.
These two make me easy to predict how the league is going to play off the NBAs.
It really not that hard to predict actually, just go back in previous years; Remember when Mark Cuban screamed about Stern and the Refs. - Stern had no option but to get Mavericks into the NBA finals BUT because Stern hated the screaming, had Mavericks loose to a team that was totally undeserving to win the NBA final. Heck, that year, Miami couldn't even have been in the play-offs, if the games were called the way they should have been.
Don't mistake me, Dwayne Wade is as good a baller as there are in the NBA and the Big Diesel has his own presence on the court but if you look at the tapes of the entire season twice, you will still not know how they came in the play-offs or the bigger shock - went on to win the finals.
We can go back every year and you will see the same pattern - surprising teams appear in the play-offs and surprising teams lose in play-offs - remember Golden Warriors losing in play-offs last year! If only someone could look at all those game tapes and convince me that its a fair game out there.
Anyways, back to our current series; if you read my last column you'll recall that I mentioned the fact that Lakers will win two out of three at the home court - not because I was looking at skills of either team - I just concentrate on Stern and Referees.
So my prediction is league will try to show that Lakers have got a huge shock to their system by this sudden loss(wink, wink) and hence will rebound and win the next game.
In fact, it will be such a big rebound ( read- the winning margin of Lakers in game 5 will be around 15 or more points) that they will go on to win the next game - the game 6th at Celtics home court - oh! what a shocker!
The game 7 will be a winner for Celtics - oh because they are at home court!
Now you may say; wasn't it the same home court that your predict that will loose the previous game (game 6 of the finals) on! How can a court change its color in two days!
If you ask that, then all I can say is you don't know this NBA league.
Stern has decided that East must win the trophy this year and that's that.
