you know about 60 years ago we still wore sarongs and wooden shoes, my mom used to tell us this story when we were little to let us appreciate the little wealth that we had, she used to tell us that in her family of 7 including her parents between them they had only one pair of shoes the wooden ones, and they had to take turns to go to the bathroom each night to keep their feet from getting dirty.. this was about 60 to 65 years ago. i cannot comprehend living in a situation like that, but my brothers and sisters can.. i mean they had 1 uniform a piece and my mom used to wash and dry and iron everyday... that was 43 years ago.. but i didnt have to go through any of this.. and we wernt rich.. so how were we able to jump from that to this in such a short time...?? and i do realize that there are people who suffer.. but what im talking about is the current living standard that we have.. the coffees, the motor bikes, the phones...etc etc

politics is the newest fad in maldives.. so naturally everybodies a politician.. im not.. im just an observer.. i wudnt know how to run a country or what the ppl need.. but as i said im an observer.. or a citizen if you will.. so this is what i see.. mostly.. the whole thing began even before i was born.. maybe i was born but i cant remember anyway.. just rumours.. attempts to take down the presidency had been implemented in many ways.. and failed all of those times but nothing lasts forever and if you rule long enough you will have made as much enemies as you have made friends.... so in our lifetime the grudge that had been brewing for a long time erupted.. i call this a grudge because .. maybe it was unofficial but the whole point of that election was to bring down the current "Dictator"... i see a point to that.. in fact 30 years is too long a time to rule especially maldives which changes itself every year..

but what i see now is pretty disturbing.. i mean i used to laugh while watching indian parliamentary bashing each other heads in with chairs in some ludicrous hidden camera show.. i never imagined this amount of violence would be the final product of the steps we had taken for change.. final product atleast that is what is being portrayed in the news and by showing live coverages of fights.. but this is not the final product.. this is just the pain before you remove the broken tooth.. well hopefully it is..

what everbody does not understand fans or not is that we cannot bring about this big a change over night.. you cannot make the whole thing better.. you cannot bring down the prices of food or electricity just because a regime changed.. but also to the point, it shoudnt have felt that it had become worse.. i think that is the problem i have with the current system..is the belief that you can change people over night.. carbon neutral is a big deal.. we will be effected the worst.. but it cannot be done by giving police bicycles to patrol on.. because the people they have to catch dont really care about burning carbon as they race away.. so in essence a gesture towards a better future can be taken as a joke.. with most of the people not appreciating the direness of our situation.. things will change.. things have changed.. but only time the same as before will tell if they are good or bad.. inshah allah it will be for the best..
