The Da Vinci Code has been banned in Paradise Isle. And hats off to the Conference that is Bishops which knew exactly where to strike. Given that the Presidential bitter half She-ranthi is the pious type of the Catholic type, the message hit home hard and the ban came fast and furious. Hmm…

Ma-hinder had more surprises up his sleeve. This time it was the Justice who is Chief who was at the receiving end. He fought many a hard battle with the Council that is Bar on the suspension of the Mag from Wellawaya. But Ma-hinder is finally the star among the black coats when he appointed the man the Trustee that is Public on Friday. Blood they say runs thicker than water, what!

De-shut-priya, the man who chucked out the green list for the Colombo polls, is still smarting after the greens sneaked in through an independent list. When the Raja who came top went to hand over the list of members, despite being a Tamil, he blushed hearing the juicy words Priya used for doing the greens’ bidding. Now there’s an independent public servant for you, eh!

With the country now gripped in security fever, the ultimate victim has been none other than Ma-hinder himself. The prez has had to limit his outdoor exercise regime as the advice is not even to step in to the garden at Araliya Abode. The furniture in the hall is shifted in the mornings now for Ma-hinder to do his limb stretching. Sin no!

Ma-hinder has given the back payments to a good sporty cause, but many are giving the credit to the Leading types. They say that before the Leading types made a sound on the pay, there wasn’t even a murmur of giving it to any cause. What could we do but blush in all humility.
