Today’s morning paper brought this disappointing news that Da Vinci Code is banned in Hyderabad and whole of Andhra Pradesh. And Aruna, Beena and me were all waiting to watch it. This is indeed disappointing!

It seems this is done keeping in mind the law and order issues in the state.
But the book which was available in all book shops and on streets of Sunday Markets did not create a law and order problem in the state?
Then they say, film has a larger reach, especially in the rural areas where books are not read.
So, it’s the illiterate rural folk who creates all the law and order problems in the state?
But surely, they are the ones who is going to miss out! Pirated CDs and downloaded versions, I’m sure would start distributed in the city, if they already have not been.
