He-Guru and She-Guru
What is a "indian" word for female Guru? To the average south asian, the usage does not seem quite right. What would you rather say? Devi? Mata?
They say that inuits have many words for snow. well you should know that 'they' are always lying: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_words_for_snow
Anyway the concept underlying that is: etymology revealing something about the culture being studied. E.g. many words for snow means you see a lot of it. No word for snow, means you live in a desert.
Now, the eager young intellectual pups amongst you are leaping to the conclusion that no satisfactory female form of the word 'Guru' would indicate that there is no such thing as a wise indian woman.
Hah! I laugh at you naive, gullible feeble minded mutts making generic stereotypes out of a single data point. Only I have the mental calibre to deal with the data presented and pierce the veil of ignorance. The greater truth is that there is no such as a wise woman, indian or not.
Now now, dont get all antsy you feminists. Do you really want to join the league of those classified as gurus? is it that desirable a club membership? Really what makes a guru a guru?
Long matted hair
infrequent access to food
unkempt
shabby clothing
chanting/muttering
unwashed bodies
begging for alms
drug use
prone to interacting with entities beyond the sight and sound of normal folk.
Why then Manhattan has tons of gurus! we call them homeless! boy do they smell!
they come on the subway and kill your spiritual nasal senses. make you cry out "oh god!" in spiritual ecstasy. speaking of subways, I saw a midget saunter into the subway the other day. He just ducked right under the turnstile. no toll, the cunning little rascal! But really, would you issue a ticket to a midget ducking fare?
Some of you think the cops would be too politically correct to do that or maybe NYPD would feel bad for the wee guy. Wrong again turds, the truth is that they would be laughing too much to write out the challan. Only I have the insight to see the truth in everyday life. because i wear acuvue contast. oasys. hellz yeah

You would be well advised to modify your tone and content towards a more fake IPL blog style, the author of which, as has been stated, is quite possibly the second greatest person in the world after me.
But I forget, you, quite like the gap between Yusuf Pathan's pre-molar and canine tooth, are utterly useless.
