and so the story goes...

So I am still alive, Golhabo is still the President, the Maldives is rotting under the sun, and the whole world is full of shit.....nothing changes eh? Yeah, I am still around and believe it or not, life has not changed an iota except I am back with more books and more trips to the library and more meetings with a bald headed half-drunk old geezer for a supervisor...interesting life!

Of course the obvious, ultimate and that one in a billion dollar question that everyone's been asking me..Why have I not updated my blog? As if they care? As if they had been having sleepless nights and losing the hair on their head because they have been tossing and turning on their pillows unable to get Wynken, Blynken and Nod to visit them because they have not read my blog... What a load of merde!

And still our beloved God, Golhabo (or in DO terms, Pharoah Golhabo I) still reigns supreme in his pharoahdom...while the opposition shivers and shrivels into an unbelievable heap on the ground, soon to disappear for good. Or yeah, lest I forget, the Three Musketeers keep battling on....and next year is election year? Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? Yeah, the next year IS election year and our beloved god would be re-elected for life

...and so the story goes..

Carpe Diem! ..

stay away from politics in the Maldives? what a joke

Got a call last night. My friend wanted to know what I hoped to gain by this blog spot. My question is do I have to "gain" anything? The gist of the argument was there must be a motive, a political motive. WTF! This is my blog where I write whatever bull I want and I don't particularly care two kavaabus if people don't even know that it exists let alone read it. This is where I spill out my gut churning, projectile vomitting, carcinogens and I will continue to do so as long as I please. If he thinks that I am doing this for a political reason, he can go and lick a certain ageing, pimpled derriere.

After the conversation, I realised that my friend's concerns aren't without a reason after all. In the Maldives, every action, every reaction is often politically related even if not motivated. While there are many who tries their level best to stay out of the political sphere, it inevitably lands on them and drags them helplessly into this vortex of lies, corruption, power and greed. A few years ago as long as you remain silent you may be able to escape. Now its no more. Even if you are a hapless bystander, you have no guarantee that you will be able to remain a bystander for long. Someone you know, someone close to you would be embedded deeply inside this political game and you are forced to take sides. And the best way to even try and remain a bystander is to play the political game..what a paradox aye?

So I am not surprised that my friend thought I had an ultimate motive in this and refuses to accept that this is just a tool for letting out my frustrations.

When is the next cabinet reshuffle? hehe
