flork the international - 2.

flork the international - 1.

flork the international.


atulaaastu. i have some flork the international. one of the funniest dhivehi comedies ever. but its not just me, every one live FTI.after i posted bakhabaru here on my blog people have been asking me continuously if i have cant publish FTI (like i have access to the video libraries of TVM!).Cmon it just came my way. i ripped the dvd, edited (cropped, joined,made em 3 files) and published it. so i just had to wait for FTI to come my way.

This time it was on youtube. midnightmaldives had these on her/his playlist. I just ripped em and joined the files to make each FTI episode a single video file. Its just that they are so special to me i want it among my videos and on my blog too.as one single file.maybe one day he/she might delete the youtube account (is that even possible?). who knows. then i will have my backups. anyway for whatever reason, i am going to post or lets say re-post all FTI videos here on my blog. then again these aint in good condition for various reasons. whatever.who cares. here they are.the next three posts on this blog will be 3 FTI episodes.wooohoo!!!

hope i will get more and more of these. all of em!thank you midnightmaldives.

Mein Hoon Na, Har Dhandi Ya.

"Main Hoon Na" means 'I am Here' in Hindi and Urdu languages. It is used to express that you are there for some one even if no one else is. To show that you will always be there when needed. Or to simply mean that 'I am here (so you don't worry)' in situations where you can be of help.

This is also the name of a successful Bollywood film of 2004. After this film's success, it have become a very common phrase used, even by Maldivians sometimes. But what does it means in Dhivehi language?

It is kinda funny, but it does mean something in Dhivehi also. though it is not pronounced exactly in the same way by native speakers of Hindi (a slight difference). But when Maldivians use it both (Dhivehi and Hindi phrase) sounds exctly the same. It is like "meyhoonaa". How ever, this must be followed by a similar sounding phrase; "Harudhandiyaa" if we want to make sense of it in Dhivehi according to the radheef (but i guess meyhoonaa alone also means something). So, if we write it in Romanagari (how hindi is written in roman script) it will now look like :

"Mein Hoon Na, Har Dhandi Ya"

It is a Dhivehi figure of speech which is used to express hunger and having no food to eat. It literally means;

"(my) chest is warm (like burning from hunger); (i am) still (like a person in sleep) and stiff (like a dead body)".

Here is the radheef definition:
މޭހޫނާހަރުދަނޑިޔާ
މަޖާޒު: ކާނެ އެއްވެސް އެއްޗެއް ނެތީމާ ބުނެއުޅޭ ބަހެއް

So 'Mein Hoon Na, Har Dhandi Ya' or simply 'Mein Hoon Na' in Dhivehi language means; "I am very very hungry".

'Dictator' Nasir and 'Reformist' Zaeem.

We all know that Gayom really really hates Ibrahim Nasir. More than anything, it is the personal hatred because he was jailed and banished by Nasir. He later spread many stories of how much he was tortured - the truth of which i am not certain of. But until Nasir left the country to live in exile; Gayom was speaking very nice of him. In his first speech as president, Gayom praised Nasir as a hero, a great leader who did so much good to our country.

But after he left the country, things started to change. Allegedly there was an attempted coup (to get back his power) after which demonstrations and horrible anti-Nasir songs were recorded and distributed. Some songs were even played on national radio; people say. There were cartoons of Ibrahim Nasir on the roads, on news papers. These songs and cartoons were used in the demonstrations.

Gayom revoked Nasir's 'Kilege' title and a stone in the Male' international airport -which stated that airport was officially opened by Ibrahim Nasir- was thrown in to the sea, and was later replaced with something about Gayom reopening the airport. The prison where Gayom was allegedly tortured was destroyed and made in to the Biggest mosque in country and the center for brainwashing the people with the new version of Islam Gayom brought from Egypt. The hero of Maldives' independence was pushed aside and on independence days we hear only the semi- mythical holy jihad tales from olden days . Gayom often make sure he does not to even mention Nasir's name in his speeches.

No matter how jealous Gayom is with Nasir, or how much he hates him; history will have lot more good things to say about Nasir than about Gayom. Not that he did not do anything bad, but he is actually the father of modernization and development in Maldives, he laid the foundations of almost everything gayom failed to develop. Maybe that is why Zaeem hate him. Because he did everything Zaeem could have done (and take exaggerated credit along with titles and awards) if it wasn't already done.

Now we are seeing the same kind of thing against Gayyoom. But still (being civilized maybe?) i think we are unable to top Gayyoom and his reformists in that. DO lava party is nothing compared to the auguraana, death threats..etc in those songs. Koto is nothing when compared to those cartoons. Demonstrations of that caliber have never been held against Gayom. But it is said that 'history repeats itself'. Lets just hope it stops repeating from the point a new government is formed.Coz we don't want another golhaa.

Today is marked as Poets' day in Maldives.It is marked in the memory of the famous orator and poet; late Mr. Ibrahim Shihab.Thought i would share some old dhivehi poetry.This is a 'lava' or song lyrics famous through out Maldives.There are many versions of this, i myself heard around 3 different versions from Kaafu atoll Kaashidhoo Island alone. The poet is unknown.And this was popularized later by the famous singer late Naifaru Dhohokko.The year and origin of this song remains unknown.

ive seen this sometime back also,but again came across it yesterday and thought i would share it here.some guy talking about music and 'dhivehi' music; in dhivehi language.there is an ebook by this guy named Mohamed Jameel (no, not the thauleem dhiyaanaa one).This book is about music theory (all in dhivehi language) .i love music,i listen to it (...some times play it..u know...like..drumming on table, on my lap ,sometimes humming,and screaming out songs sometimes), but i am totally ignorant of the theory part,so i dunno how to judge this one. you guys got to see this for your self and decide.here is the page:
