Remmembering The Past

We have come a long way in our path of freedom and greater democracy,we have made pack ts with the Devil and slept with our enemies.Now we are on the pedestal of change itself.It is now that we all need to think for the Nation and be assertive in our decisions.
The new government of MDP did come through a revolution, but its wasn't like those of Serbia, Georgia India or any of the past popular revolutions of Democracy.MDP had a minor lead over the now opposition.The majpurity of citizens are still skeptical of the changes. The parliament is at a disarray with DRP majority.Their only thought and ideal seems to be to be the barrier of the changes the MDP government hastens to bring.
Well now we have to ask ourselves who has forgotten the past? For it is when we forget our mistakes and history that we repeat them and take steps backwards.DRP is headstrong in going back to the Dictatorial regime of Gayyoom.The people are ever more impatient and critical and more vocal on each and every step the MDP government takes. Of course the government today is young and very new and have been making many mistakes that should not be repeated.Their core belief of old regime citizens or rather the whole of the civil service might still be adamant Gayyoom supporters but i am sure they shall not stand in the way of good for the people.MDP NEEDS TO win over their loyalty!
For in the past it was these civil servants who kept Gayyooms government in place and they shall have skills from 30 years of experience that the new government might not.
DRP needs to be laid to rest with a tombstone that says "Never to Return". While their only strength is Yaameen they also have a leader who is for now sure not with the least bit of sanity.
In the past we have let our leaders play the role of sole decider and benefactor and employer of all the citizens of Maldives. That gave us 30 years of corruption and hindered development. Maybe it i snow time for us all to do our part in changing the country. TO support the development and be part of the national spirit.Someone says that democracy is a dream.Then let us not call it names but rather do it with wit and actions guided by free thought.
IT is now time to remember we have so much lost in the past that we shall not let it happen again.Remember the government is not the appointed but it is of all of us for us.Remember that DRP is the old and the past and MDP is our future right now. If MDP fails in this 5 years it is the failure of not only Anni but rather of all of us. Again it is us letting our government fail!!!

What makes Us Evil???

i sometimes wonder if i am an evil person.I wonder if where i stand on my beliefs and thoughts, do they make me evil? How can we tell if one of us is not on the right path? Or if they can be judged to be worse than us???yea religion tells us somethings are wrong plain right and there still is so much gray area that so many scholars don't even speak about.So how can we judge our own selves? Of course murder rape and theft can be defined as the evil characters...but what about the reasons? Do we ignore to ask why the people do the things they did? Do we blame them for their actions though we do not understand their reasons or hear out their justifications? Sometimes i think if what we consider to be moral if it really is...I do not doubt God at all or not believe in his holy book...but i definitely do not TRUST the so called scholars who seem to consider themselves only worthy to explain GODs will to the people.how are we to know the truth? Do we all have to revel in reading gaining knowledge and learning the truth ourselves? Back to the point...social well being is supposedly guaranteed by democracy adn religion and our own guidelines...but i guess we have to keep questioning and looking back and progressing or else we end up for example with Windows NT and Doom 3D latest version...now it would never run on the old system!!!

Past can be Forgotten but not Forgiven!!!

Maybe it is getting too alte for the Civil Society or the government or Political parties or Figures to pursue the Re apyment of all the loss left behind by the Past Dictator gayyoom and his regime. Maybe it is out of fear of oneself being entangled in it that so many political and vocal figures refrain from a court case or human rights case or simply even the media to dig deep and find the truth behind all the lies and deceipt by Gayyoom. For one thing i beleive you cannot start a new without cleaning up the past. Its like going to the dentist...you expect him to clean all his tools before he begins to poke inside your mouth with his instruments...you do not want the previous patients miscrobes being transfered to your mouth and im sure you can imagine where im getting at...So my big question is WHY refraine??? Human Rights NGO's are quite young and lack the technical aspects to deal with such issues and they do not ahve the knowledge...but im sure so many other authorities and pooliticians and parties have enough evidence...if we are to set an example of Gayyoom being set free without even a trial that cleans his records of the horrors in the jails and the torture of innocent and the malnutrition of islanders...do we also set free the peadophiles and rapists without a charge??? I do not understand it...Anni could say he will not pursue on his own...but shouldnt someone else be doing it??? where is the Maldivian Human Rights Commission ??? i beleive Nan reethi Saleem should resign if he refrains from carrying out atleast an investigation...dowsnt matter if there is no evidence..just follow a standard procedure...if we do not then anni and his government might commit such attrocities aswell and we would end up at the same place...!!!!Who ends up loosing??? The Fish??Also i do not say we should hold on to the past as so much it regresses our ability to develop and go forward!!!

Life

Strange as it is mystery Drives us
Beginning with a cry we begin to smile
Remember the times that we used to be free
Thoughts would wonder like bees to honey
Times have changed and repent we do
Forgiveness we seek too often for comfort
Sins hold us back from finding god within
Temptation for revenge gets stronger again
Lies and deception are the titles of our book
Songs we sing are song for ourselves
Selfish and greedy we feed on each other
Like goblins and monsters of fairy tales
We have become what we feared the most
And through out at what a cost
Second chances gives us hope
Sometimes wishing it was the last breath
For the end is near and time has passed
What we set out to do has come and past
Let us lay down to rest for eternity
I wonder if they forgive me for all i did
For i meant no harm and was human for it

Lean protest Peacefully and no Hinderance to Development!!!y

Well the opposition of the previous government started the protest/boycott/rally/refrain/and saying no culture amongst the people of Maldives. This was key in defying a rogue government until at times it harmed more than did any good. Guess that was one reason MDP became more political rather than activists.
Unfortunately some of the people are still carrying on with the Protesting, especially at the islands to limits it hinders more development than anything else. Maybe their reasons are that is the only way they can get attention but one can argue the newspapers are quite happy top report any misgivings of the new government in a zip!!! Is it not an option to exhaust all means of non violent non disruptive methods such as media before shutting down offices and schools??? The shutting down claiming not adequate is a argument that is defeated when they do it. The shutting down of public services means now they are more in adequate than ever before!!! They got to learn that one teacher [not so qualified] is better than no teacher at all...as goes for nurses doctors and public servants as well!!!
Well i guess time will teach people the best of ways...and maybe i have no idea of the situation at all...but i feel non violent peaceful protest such as sitting down at the beach and going live on radio and t.v will get you more attention than anything else!!!

THE NEW GOVERNMENT!!!

well with all what is being said and written about the new government i guess i will have my take on it as well.
The new cabinet is filled with politicians and new people who have never been in the government. There are educated youth and the street protesting hardcore democracy lovers. There are people who gave their jobs and families to achieve the goal of a democratic government. then there are the appointees by default form the other party's [note: i know this is the wrong spelling but ain't it more like this heheh]involved in the coalition government. Sadly a lot of the appointees have the agenda of bringing down Anni as president. That's politics i guess but think of the people for ounce!!!
Then there's the controversial appointees by Anni as well. Well i dearly hope like he always had before he has a plan under his sleeve that will bring about the best.
As of now there is so much change in the system. The people are motivated or atleast activated. Someone should do research on how fast the changes are coming. Some policies will FAIL...there's never a gurantee...but all in all i would say the rapid changes in the past three months is amazing. Lets us give them till after parliamentary elections.

Life is a Rollercoaster ride for sure

Well it has been ages since i last made a post here...well when i look back at all the past posts i realise that LIFE keeps going up and down and swift turns and slow crawls and it all gives a bigger rush tot eh rider.
Within the past three months i have gone through so much. Old job ends and new job im searching for...new girl i meet new girl i let go...old memories resurface and new memories are made. The new year was just perfect. Small gathering of the closest friends and the people that mean the most to me.Well all in all things come and things go.Memories can last if we want them to.
Right now i have a job untill the end of March and then i have to look for a new job. Quite strangely i feel elevated and enlightened on my path of unforeseen events that i look forward to unfolding right before me. The mystery of not knowing has quite evidently captured the romantic in me.
Well i guess personal posts are the least read here. so i will keep it short. All in all the new year looks bright and i have the strength and power to keep it that way. Lets see how things go now....
