  • Speech Given by Speaker of Parliament, President Mohamed Nasheed During the Ceremony Held to Handover Outdoor Fitness Equipment Full Translation
    ` Date: 13 July 2020 Male’, Maldives Speech Given by Speaker of Parliament, President Mohamed Nasheed during the Ceremony Held to Handover Outdoor Fitness Equipment Full Translation Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid, Indian High Commissioner to the Maldives Shri Sunjay Sudhir, Minister of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment Mr. Mahloof, Chairman of the Sports Cooperation Mr. Ahmed Mauroof, Members of Parliament, and all gathered here today. High Commissioner, I am sure you will excuse me, I have written my speech in Dhivehi today. We heard recently that Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has tested positive for Covid-19 and is undergoing treatment. I am sure, that there is no Maldivian citizen who doesn’t wish him a speedy recovery. I too wish him the same. We all know that the relationship between our two nations of India and Maldives spans back many generations. Both our people eat rice and curry, tandoori and biryani. We watch Kasauti, and movies starring Shatrughan Sinha, Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. Even our cultures have strong similarities. Since as far back as our countries have existed, our people have intermingled and created strong bonds lasting the test of time. It may be true that the Governments of Maldives and of India haven’t necessarily had the best relationship at all times; but even during those times when that relationship was strained, we didn’t stop ‘eating rice and curry’ or stop watching Amitabh’s films. We didn’t stop reading Indian books or abandon the cultures and way of life we share with India. Maldivian nationalism is steeped in Islamic values and independence – and what we must accept is that the best way to maintain Maldivian independence, freedom and sovereignty is to sustain a close bilateral partnership with India.

  • The Laxmi Chhaya DVD
    The Laxmi Chhaya DVD Introduction As with many other of the actors and actors in classic Indian films, not much (meaning practically nothing) of Laxmi Chhaya's personal life and her career in films is known. We know that she passed away way too early, dying of cancer about 6 years ago. Beyond that, nothing. If anyone can fill in details - family members, friends, friends of friends - perhaps you'd be so kind as to comment in memsaab's blog (link at bottom), maybe in her "My 10 Favorite Laxmi Chhaya Songs" post. There are many people around the world who love her, her dancing, and her acting in the movies available, and you'd be sure to receive a warm reception. Apparently she began her film career in 1963. I say 'apparently' because the information available is so sketchy that there's just no way to be sure it's accurate. I think her first film was 1963's Bluff Master starring Shammi Kapoor and Saira Banu (memsaab gets the credit for spotting her before the qawaali begins). I think this may have been her first film because she isn't listed in the film's credits, where for the other 2 films IMDB says she appeared in that year, she is listed in the credits. Here she is, standing beside Saira Banu: Hers was a speaking role with several lines of dialog, which makes her not appearing in the film's credits all the more peculiar. In the other 2 films she was in that year she (probably) performed her first dances.
