FOOTBALL CRAZY

This island nation is too crazy about one thing-football. Most of the islands I have visited, have a football field. The astonishing fact is that some of these islands are so small that the football field covers more than 1/4 of the island's total area.Bigger islands have more than one football fields. Only their mosques get a priority when it comes to using the area available in an island, but they do not cover as much area as a football field covers.
Adjacent to this floodlit football field th…

GOD OFF SMALL THINGS !

Unity In Diversity
India is an amazing country in many ways than one can think of. You will not tag me as a jingoist,if at least once you visit this place and try to understand a bit of it. It is A NATION with one name but many religions, thousands of languages and dialects, myriads of festivals, confusing cultures and seemingly ridiculous rituals and many more such things!
An Almighty For Each and Every Thing!
Today I would like you to just have a peep into the CULTURE of Gods in this wonderful…

BASHI-A DIFFERENT BALL GAME

The 'Bodu Eid' (or the 'Big Festival' is fast approaching. So the women folk of the island are busy practising the 'Bashi' for the Eid tournament. Eid-Ul-Adha, this year, falls on the first week of September. I caught up with them during my late evening stroll and clicked some snaps.
'Bashi" is an exclusively Maldivian game. Women play in teams in a place like a tennis court with tennis balls-for a change- plenty of them at a go. In this traditional sport, one woman from a team stands in the co…

SUMMER RAIN

Rain Drops, Showers And Then Pours
Nature does not need much of a preparation or time to do a somersault with its appearance, mood and the entire perspective. Last night the less fortunate who could not cool themselves with an a/c, felt as if they were on a sweltering furnace due to the hot and humid conditions. But, lo, Cometh the dawn and down pours the rain, settling everything in a matter of a few minutes!
Then there was no looking back and it is still drizzling as I am typing these lines fo…

MID-SUMMER NIGHT'S STREET

Hi Friends...
As we are into the last two weeks of the Dukasummer Contest, let's have a peep into the scenes after sunset.
The surface which has a silvery look under the blistering sun, now has a different look with the cool breeze caressing over it and the hazy light just showing the limited length of the street, we stroll into another street.
Then to the jetty.
That's all for tonight
Thank you all.

THE PLEASANT SUMMER COLORS!

One Of The Warmest Receptions!
It was after Sitham's classes that we both marched towards his home. Along with his parents there was another host who was welcoming me with his kaleidoscopic bouquets and friendly tweets. His vigilant activism was like a cool breeze for me, especially as we had taken a harsh battering under the scorching sun.
It was as if he (he or she?, I will check with Sitham later) was a bit showing off! Did many of his tricks in a short while. I was bit upset that I could not…

DOG WALKING


Waiting To Be Collared And Leashed


This is our lovely, lively and overly active Micky. Now it is (her) our walking time. If she gets an order to 'GO' without a walking line she becomes a speeding bullet, springs out from here leaving butterflies in our stomachs for next 30 to 40 minutes. For, she is a cutie for us but I don't think the big, bullying canines in her neighborhood will be entertaining the same feeling for her. Whenever she has won over me with her highly bewitching antics and got …
