All in all it's just another hole in the wall

Kasimbe fishermen from Huraa anchored his dhoni near mas Maarkeytu and tonight he took his usual walk near Islaamee Markaz towards Sultan Park. He was amazed to see a hole in the wall of Maldives Defence building. He thought baaghees returned. Today in Maldives society baaghee is subjective thing based on what colour you are. Kasimbe saw many people standing near the hole to take photos with the hole. This brought nice memories when Kasimbe was just 11 years. He came to Male with his father also a fisherman and stood near a cyprus tree in Sultan Park to take photo. At that days there was no digital camera or USB sticks. So Kasimbe had to get photo only after one week later. They went to Hura and came back one week later to get photo developed in dark room in Male. The cyprus tree was taller than the 11 year old Kasimbe but it was a good photo. There were always photographers with cameras in Sultan Park asking people to be photographed near one tree or another tree. Those days everyone worked to enjoy decent life with income that provided black tea and nice hedhika everyday. Now everyone wants to be parliament member so they can get good income without hard work. Now the times have changed and there is a big hole in the wall of NSS building. This used to be the favourite place for expatriates on Fridays and Saturdays but now Maldivians have returned to this corner to take photos with the celebrity hole. Maldivians have chased away expatriates from the Jumhooree Binaa area because this is the era of nationalism and xenophobia. Sheikh Imran has popularized this era by standing up for our beloved airport, a 100 meters of gravel on which the sweat of our forefathers were poured. Now the Maldivians want their airport back. This was the airport on which legendary Ali Rasgefaanu battled Portuguese when they arrived in their F-16 jets in the 14th century. This was the airport on which Boduthakurufaanu landed on his famous fighter jet Kalhuoiyfummi and chased away the Portuguese. This was also the airport on which the Indian paratroopers landed on November 3rd to help Maldivians against the PLOTE. But something strange happened. The Indians never left the airport. They stayed there and formed a company. All paratroopers became businessmen and their company was called GMR. Now Maldivians want this airport back and Sheikh Imran is our new hero. To commemorate November 3rd this year our army organised a big orchestra party at Jumhooree Maidhan. This Maidhan is not related to Gasim Ibrahim's Jumhooree Party. So in the night everybody listened to orchestra music watched fireworks and took photos with the hole. Everyone is happy and tomorrow is another day. Next year is election year. All in all it's just another hole in the wall.
