Axing Away

The kind Mr. Dhoni was helpfully illuminative,

He revealed that he had decided to,

“Axe them”

He was supposedly talking about dropping a few senior players from the squad for the one dyer’s in Australia.

But who knew there was more to it than it seemed!

It appears that immediately after returning victorious from down under he did put something else to the axe.

A “live goat” to wit! Not by himself of course, he had it done at a temple near his home.

No I am not making it up.

Animal sacrifices are still discreetly practiced in some parts of the land, though banned by law. Kalighat at Kolkotha was famous for it before the ban came.

Dhoni seems to be an old believer, though he rides modern BMW’s!

This is the land where the great Budha walked. He compassionately took a lamb up while it was being led to such a sacrifice and carried it there.

Not to haste it to its end, but to save it by his presence.

No, I am not being sanctimonious, I love lamb chops like my neighbors.

There is a saying,

“Eat that which you kill and your sin will be absolved”

To kill to eat seems natural if not necessary.

But to kill to spill blood, well that is another matter altogether.
