The Politics was a test in everyones mind, which made it
difficult to decide to go with things better for the island than better for the
party. Protests were on going, starting from the presidential election followed by the days of Parliament election,
and this situation of throwing out Adam Nasir from Thulusdhoo happend in the
middle. After the Presidential Election, It was
time to vote and elect Atoll councilors and island councilors by the new rules
of decentralisation .
Thulusdhoo is the capital of Kaaf atoll which holds the Kaaf
Atoll office in its arms. Due to the time taken to pass
the rules of decentralisation because of disagreements each day in the
Parliament, government appointed temporary councilors
for both Atoll Councils and Island Councils.
During these times , the majority of
the people were with the opposition party DRP in Thulusdhoo. These were hard times
for Thulusdhoo members of the ruling Party MDP because they were lesser in
number in the island. Due to the lesser numbers of MDP members in Thulusdhoo,
they were often targeted. Vandalism to MDP strongholds were becoming common.
MDP members were often harassed. Politics moved people's minds off the track of
unity because they go to extreme heights to support their party and ignoring
what such actions would do to the future of the island.
A protest broke out in Thulusdhoo
when former President and leader of DRP (at that time) was taken into Police
Headquarters for questioning about Abuse of Power during his 30 year regime.
The protesters demanded the Government-appointed temporary Atoll Councilor to
leave Thulusdhoo and said that he or any other councilors of the Government
would not be welcome in the island.
I wish i cud know who all behind planning this fire. Photos soon..

It all starts with the change of Presidency in 2008. It was proven by the vote that most of the Maldivian citizens needed a change in 2008's election. All
voted for a change, all wanted to change Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom. In his 30 years the development was slow and
we have to depend on it. To have the freedom in development and give the people
the power, everyone really needed a change.
With change of Presidency in 2008, the Decentralization of Island offices and Atoll
Offices made major changes in the administrative sides of the offices in Maldives. It might be hard to take in all the adjustments an office had
to go with the new rule. Mostly uneducated people were ruling in the top
positions. They were working with their eyes on forehead to give power to the people of Maldives, to decentralize and work freely on developing their own place.
The political situation was new in Maldives and it created disagreements
and decentralization was not appreciated by the parties which ruled the
Parliament of Maldives that time. Meanwhile, the opposition party DRP who lost in election had the Parliament's majority.
Those members were busy changing the rules of decentralization of island and
Atoll councils like as it was their job to stop it. It was called "The
Political Mashunigandu" for a long time because the rules and regulations
were changed every day
Then in the middle of July 2009, the ex
president and the leader of the opposition party was called by Maldives Police Service for questioning. This article is focused on changes happened in the island during that situation.It became the breaking news and live telecast was on all Medias that night, meantime creating a protest near the Alivaage (Gayyooms residence). Members of MDP and DRP were about to clash anytime. Police with shields arrived had to take hold of the situation by throwing tear gas into the protesters around the streets to make way for the car which was ready to take off with Ex president. Risk of taking Gayyoom safely to the Head Quarters was high for Maldives Police Service. With hours of trying and request they took Gayyoom to police Head Quarters and finished questioning not a while after he got in.

How was the post?
DODAY
Started his carrier in music in
the age of 12. The center of attraction of the band.
One of the main man who came with
the idea of making the band. He picked up his guitars with the idea of playing
the lead guitars. His inspirations for the start came from his family and the
friends around him. Catching up with songs of Metallica the hardest riffs n leads he got his confidence in the
place he marks in the bands soul. With his interest in own style of music, he
mastered his talent with different rhythms played along with the lead, filling
up the rest of the song synchronizing
with bass and drums.
RAMY
The Master of the Percussions
and drums section of the band.
Making his way picking up his
pair of sticks in the age of 13 filling up the Metallica songs with Doday he
gained his control. He can amaze anyone
when he is on drums. Exploring the music out side he is still making his talent
wider, broader and amazing. The one who holds the focus of the band's own music and the centre of
attention in the band's 13 years. He is the only drummer the band had
experienced who can hold a jam for 2 hours non-stop. He can make anyone dance with his
drum beats.
OCCO
The Entertainer with unexpected talents, the front man of
the band.
The band salutes his presence and respects his
talent to get the Audience in the track of what the band is playing. Taking the
3rd place in National School Singing Competition held in Male on 1997 his
interest in music started flowing as a drummer with back vocals on a local band
Smoke. 15 years in music, starting as a drummer and he puts his magical voice
to the front of the audience after joining Blackend White on the new Millennium
2000. The center of creation of band's own music and songs. His own styles in
band's singles are the most amazing feeling a listener can go with.

For Many years Thulusdhoo is the most famous island in Kaaf Atoll, which we got so many facilities naturally and by government, namely Atoll office, the main Fish storage Warehouses, worlds number one refreshment Coca-Cola Bottling plant and a world famous Surf Break named under it. Im here to write about people of Thulusdhoo in my view. Its about something my friends and people who visit here always talk about. Like something we have to point out and get a solution. For the visitors to Thulusdhoo they find one thing in common from our eyes, i.e the strange way of eyeballing (looking) on them. Maybe you'll also have noticed this or if you want to see it, when walking around the island, mostly in the evening and nights, some middle aged people grouped up to talk and when you pass by look at them. You'll never want a friend or a visitor to see it from your island. My friends, most people who visited here pointed out specifically this eyeballing behavior, we've been talking about that strange look on their faces since long. Some of them who visited now take it as a specialty of our island. Some take it as a political fever, actually not a fever a disease coz its been there for long now.Elaborating the view from their eyes
Already having the Hardcore DRP island as a political name, some still have a tendency to show it to the ones who come here for holidays. Its like some of them WANT to show it. I wonder whats the use of it, to let them know? Hey, they already know its Hardcore here. They came for relaxation for the Beauty of this Island. They come in Peace.
Its not only the visitors who comment on this "worldcup thashi " feature, from most of the people i talked and most of the youth both males and females from the island also facing this problem. They sure don't like it here. You might have recognized that recently we dont see girls and boys walking on the beaches having family times n fun anymore. Maybe the groupies dont know that some islanders (mostly females) dont like to go out in the evening coz of them. We know we'll meet some of this featured people on the way. These youths don't want to hear on the next day from mom or from a relative that some talked about them and was saying he/she ain't working in home, always roaming around and did this and that with a little bit of spice in the sentences. Most of the talks these "worldcup thashi"s do are not true, not true at all. You know what i mean right? Like they blow out the freedom, they blow out the Socialism of youth. A friendly community is one of the essence a youth will need in growing happily. I have been thinking how will we stop this. For my mind one way to stop this is, make those people realize the outcome of this and show how islanders and visitors take it. They must see the picture they are creating.
Funny fact about these groupies is the way of looking at a Maldivian Film Star, they over smile at them. You know like, with some wrinkles they smile till the end of the lips touches their eyeballs. Anyone who have seen 'The Joker' in Batman cartoons and movies will get that image. I dont know why, they favor these Film Stars so much, coz they meet them on tv everyday? At least good they greet them with a smile, not talking about the back stabbing after he/she passes.

Behind the Lines
According to the comments from oldest in the island, Thulusdhoo was the safest and peaceful island in Kaaf Atoll. It was before around 50 years from this time. Any fishing boat or any traveler crossing Thulusdhoo in their trip will make their stop in this safe land. For the peace and friendliness of the people living in Thulusdhoo. See how it changed to this day. We got friendly people here but a little of them has changed that tradition with time. As for a reason that eyeballing is common with islanders is coz they didn't visit any other island near by. I can say a few travel to other islands on School Vacations with their kids. Mostly we can say those people 'the eyeballers' are stuck with life in island. They just spend their life watching after kids, chit chat with friends mostly about something political, laughing at people and most commonly back stabbing people. So basically they don't know how it feels like to be eyeballed on them or a visitor or anyone passing by like that. For them everyone is strange, coz they never been a stranger. If you wanna know how a stranger feels like, you must first be a stranger to feel it. People always say "why is it special in this island? I don't see it in any of the islands in this Atoll. You guys proud of something? If you are proud of the beauty, take things beautifully...and this thing im seeing here got a bad outcome..teach them the friendly look..." Yeah others dont like it, i even dont like it. As a result it has been giving our island a picture that we don't want, we got more friendly people and great places here on Thulusdhoo to be proud of.
