Khiyaalee dhuniye...

When I was a kid, I like go and do shopping in nearby stores. My grandpa would often say do shopping from the stores that has more number of customers as this indicates that their products are good. But I would look for the stores those have the least number of customers. I used to think if everyone buys from busy stores, how could these other businesses become successful? I was not good at bargaining either. When I reached home after buying, I would often lie to my grandpa that I bought those products from the busy stores.

Emme kuda iruves aharenge hiththah araa mashah bairu faisa libeyne namayeh. Eyee geydhoshuga eyruves varah haaluga ulhey aharen umuruge kudhinnai, emeehunge aailaathah ulhey goiy mashah fennaathee. Aharen hithah araa mashah baivrau faisaa libijjeyaa emeehun ehaaluga ulhunaka nudheynamey, aharen emeehunnah eheevaanamey…

Adhi aharenge hithah araa keevebaa vayeh magey mamma yaa bappa efadha meehun nah eheenuvanee? Adhi misuvaalu ma kuranves kuran mamma yaai bappa gaathuga, eyru mamma men bunanee adhi dharifulhakah neyngeyneyeh…

Magey hithah eyru aranee emmen nah baivaru faisaa libigen, komme meehakuves emeehengge hurihaa kanthah thah hama jehigen ulhey dhuniye eh mashah fennaane baavayeh…Dharin mainbafa innah kameyhitha, adhi umurun dhuvas vee meehunah ihuthiraam kuraa dhuniye akah mashah ves dheveynebaavayeh nooney fennnaane baavayeh. Ekaku anekakah kuh thakah maafu koggen, ekaku anekakah eheetherikan foaru kodheegen ulhey dhuni eh eyru magey hithah aranee ma boduvaairu mashah efadha dhuni ye eh fennaane kamah. Ekamaku kan vee eheneh noon. Boduvamun dhaa dhiyavrakah I realized that the real world was very harsh, and was very different from the ideal world that I imagined. Added to this, I was disappointed when people changed the definitions of morality and God, according to their practicality and what works for them, by saying “It’s all relative. There is no such thing like good or bad. It all depends on our viewpoints”.

Magey hithah aranee kobaibaavayeh mihen kan kan mihigumuge aslakee. Meega varah bodu goaheh ebaulheyeh mihen midhimaavumuga. This world is not meant to be working like this”. I would often be pondering about what went wrong when I was alone. I think I was looking for two solutions mainly: the world operating close to my ideal world, and the right leader/president who can guide the world properly by serving people (and not by dominating), thus making rulers out of everyone.

I was not trying to conceive my ideal self for the position of this leader. I was looking for at least one person who stood up to (or surpassed) all of my high ideals and led a perfect life. It would give me great pleasure to find one. I often short-listed characters from movies for my leader. Sometimes I picked my leader from celebrities that I was aware of. In each case, I was saddened that I could not find all the ideal qualities in him/her.
