Since Eid is now finally over, let's talk about how MTCC/Maldivians treated expats at their ferry terminals on Eid Day.
They had the expats wait in a separate queue, held them back for over an hour just to give seats for Maldivians. Most of them are Muslims, it's their Eid too.
Can we just patiently wait for the HPA press at 12, instead of getting status updates from a post of Ahmed Manik from Sh. Firunbaidhoo with no profile picture, or from a family Viber group with your 113 distant cousins. Please stop creating fear!
Do you guys remember this girl asking for a 3000mvr sponsor for her team participating in the national tournament? That was last April, this is her now.
RANKED NO. 8th IN THE WHOLE WORLD! OUT OF 3.7 BILLION PEOPLE!
Did a single one of you (Maldivians) got beaten by a Srilankan in Colombo, or by an Indian in Trivandrum just because you were from a different country? I guess not.
Maldivians are Racists. Period.
Xenophobia is so common for us Maldivians, we treat expats like they're trash. Being born in a country with white beaches than a country like Bangladesh/India doesn't make us special. We're all human beings before we were anything else. Be humble to them, there's no harm in that.
All of this started in 2010, when nobody listened to
@Velezinee
!
Afraashrem, Abdullah Shahid, Mujthaz Fahmy, Husnu Suood & everyone that was in JSC allowed this.
Since then Velezinee is labeled as crazy. But, she was right all along.
During Eid Prayers, while arranging the lines, parents moved their kids away from expats. And Eid Salaan is common for us, Maldivians avoid shaking hands with expats after prayers. They wear their best dress & perfume for Eid Prayers jut like us, yet Maldivians avoid them. Why?
Meet Jayaseela, my security guard for almost 3 years.
I visited Lanka after a year and knew that he wasn't working at my old apartment, I searched for a while and found him recently.
Honestly, I've never seen anyone as happy as he was just to see me. (don't mind the fatso)
And, Maldivians threw comments like "mi lhaimenaa hedhi Eid ves faahaga nukollevey" "bangaalhinnah hulhumalé ah dhaan mi noon dhuvaheh nethunee tha?"
What they're forgetting is, it's one of the few holidays they get unlike most Maldivians, and this time a 2 day holiday.
6 years ago we started Insaafuge Dhathuru. Few kept on reminding us not to lose hope, not to lose faith & Just to keep on fighting. And we've lost good people along the way.
Finally after 2421 days, we have arrived.
Welcome to Jazeera Raajje!
Some expats were waiting in the queue for more than an hour, but whenever a Maldivian comes, they allowed them to jump the queue and let them inside the ferry waiting area. You think expats were not in a hurry? Some of them had to be back to their 2nd job unlike most of us.
This might be the only time anyone heard Madam Nasreena speak, but the message was clear & strong. And her presence was a great motivation for all those who stood against tyranny & injustice.
I just found out that the owner of Thambi shop (where I used to buy most of my drinks during break times when I was at school) died last week. It's one of the few shops that still got the old kanmathee fihaara feel from the 90s. May god bless his soul!
If I'm ever to explain what courage is to my kids, I'll tell them the story of

Lock him up once, twice, or a dozen times, he'll come back stronger!
So, I was waiting for a friend outside STO Supermart right before Por/Uru match. This guy who came out of the ATM handed me 20 rufiyaa. I said I don't want it, he said sadagaathekey & insisted. I think he genuinely felt sad for me as I was wearing an Argentine jersey. 😭🙄🇦🇷
I'm so mad rn, some stupid fuck tossed a lit cigarette butt from a higher floor of G. The Last, Bodurasgefaanu Magu. I was stuck there with no petrol, a friend brought half a bottle for me. The lit cigarette landed on my petrol tank as I was filling it. We both could have died!!!
Last night I took my Dad to Moon Café for their Dhivehi Keun, and learnt that he used to work there as a chef when they first started, almost 5 decades ago.
Back in the days, there used to be this thing called
#ThashibariRule
, which is, if you get a thashibari with food, you have to return it with food. People these days doesn't seem to understand this simple yet kind gesture. 😭
Unpopular opinion: 🙄
Aan kopitaa meehunaa gelhen veema okay. Ehen meehaku echekey buneema how glum one's life must be.
Kopitaa meehunge tweets ah reply kuran okay. Ehen meehaku viyyaa stranger on a public platform or their personal account.
You know what's annoying, people going to the mosque on 27th night only. People skipping going for Futsal on 27th night only. People skipping coffees on 27th night only. TV stations showing only madhaha on 27th night only. Who tf told y'all 27th is Lailathul Gadhri? Smh! 🙄
Finally got tickets to Avengers Endgame, for the Friday night show, after waiting in line for 4 hours.
Geyga tweet kuran thibbakas filmeh nubeleyne. Massakkaiy koggen kankan vaanee.
I got the scout life saver badge in 2001, but I never had to use my skills until tonight. Saved the life of my friend

. Masha Allah he's recovering now.
Do you remember what they said when they were cutting down the trees to develop this road?
They promised they would plant 400 trees and more. But I don't see a single tree planted. Or is there?
Guys, can we have a thread of all school songs we sang at schools?

Every Thursday night, Maldivians play an Augmented Reality RPG game called "Malé City Maze" in which the players have to find their way through roads & construction sites to reach it home safely.
There's a huge kabaddi competition going on at stadium. With jerseys, sponsors, referees, scoreboards and everything. Love it when expats enjoy themselves doing what they love.
Just watched an Ambulance struggling to move forward near Sosun Magu. In this traffic, there's no space to give even to an Ambulance. And the traffic is getting worse everyday, Sooner or later someone is going to die, just because the Ambulance didn't reach the hospital in time.
So it's been 2 weeks since the W Construction incident that lead to the death of a 7 year old.
Who is held responsible?
Who is going to jail??
Only a press release from W Construction?
Just 3 days of outbursts, thoughts & prayers?
That's it?

Everyday you meet a lot of amazing people, & yesterday I met an 82 year old lady who recently started learning Arabic. She said that you don't need any other motivation to learn new things, & that learning new things should be the motivation!
It's never too late y'all.
So glad that I convinced

The joy of winning the Presidential Election in 2008 is nothing compared to what we're feeling right now.
Most importantly, birun thibe tweet kuri zamaan mi nimunee.
Ignorant guy on twitter misunderstood what harassment is.
Couple of guys misunderstood what bullying is & bullied the shit out of the guy, even though he apologized, rather than trying to talk sense into him.
Say no to Harassment & Bullying.
Our society in a nutshell ☹️
My family was invited to Lunch by a very respected family friend. They had turtle meat curry, we didn't eat that & was asked "why?" as if they were offended. HAHA!
So, how do I fucking explain to these retards, that killing & eating turtles isn't normal? ☹️
Alright kids. Here's the deal 🌶️

On the occasion I'll be distributing reusable shopping bags to everyone throughout the week. And it's time for each & everyone of you to do your part in protecting the environment.

Let's get real here, the only contestant that's worthy & deserving of the title, who's got a bright music career ahead is Azal! We dont want another Laisha/Bob. We need someone who would pursue a career in music. Not a doctor & definitely not a tourists in Maafushi
