Dwitiyo Khorak....!

Male' again is in the grip of a pleasant weather spell.As I was inching towards the Laundry with a sack of clothes to be utilised in the ensuing fortnight ,I was greeted with a fresh burst of cool winds which instantly dried up the sweat shirt,which I was donning since late afternoon.
Last month had been unusually warm and humidity was high.
Male' is known for its pleasant evenings with the Indian Ocean Breeze having a profound sobering effect on the sunny weather of the day.
Its a city and country of joint ventures with practically all nationalities here....harmoniously living together with the island populace.Interestingly ,the local language Dhivehi with its origin in Sanskrit,Pali and Arabic is well spoken by the predominantly expat. Bangladeshi workforce.
Sometimes a Tamil patient will speak to me in Dhivehi about his ailment to which I will reply in Dhivehi which is the common Denominator: a strong point in this liberal modern Islamic Democratic Republic.
