Raif is very busy

Rifle is his nick name. I'm talking about Raif. He's a busy man. Busiest man in Male'. Just like every other Malean. So busy with a quick temper. But he's a friend. I visited him today.

He was watching TV. Switching channels. He said 'Nothing good on this f**king TV, So many F**King channels, F**K Mesco and Cable net. What a monopoly". Just then his grandma said there's no onions in the kitchen for tomorrow.

Raif at once said 'Hello boys, we've got a job'. I went after him. He took out his high speed Wave motorcycle. I sat at the back. Woo Wooo, he raced. Honk Honk he tested his horn. He took off like a jet. I told him 'Raif, we don't need it so fast. There is 18 more hours before the onions were needed tomorrow.' But Raif did not listen. He says that if he doesn't go fast he'll not be there in time. I asked him what time? He did not reply.

And the traffic on Majeedi road was very slow. Raif made sure that he made good use of his loud horn. He gets so angry if even a kid crossing on the zebra crossing slowed him down. He goes 'Fucking B*lh*nthah'. If there is a taxi stopped to pick up an old person from the house a roads get blocked. Opportunity for people like Raif to use their horn. Peep Peep. They say that it's impossible to see Male' from NASA's space station. But they hear the sound of the horns of Wave cycles from up there.

Raif thinks that places in Male' are so far away. So he needs to speed up as much as possible to save time on transportation. Honks help to clear the paths for him. His house is near Central Hotel. He bought onions from the new Hyper Market in Male' Agora (just one block away). His cycle adventure is something that makes him feel busy in this town.

When Raif brought the onions home his wife was so happy. The End.

I enjoy this story...the way you have brought it...it is sadly yes the reality of Male'...there is no respect for little children or old people crossing the road...for that matter nobody cares...even if there is overpopulation in Male' i see no reason why people cant stop for the crossings...maybe we should take the example from Dhonmeehun/Faranjeen...they stop their cars or whatever even if you stop near the zebra crossing...unfortunately we learn all the bad habits too fast...and forget the good ones from foreigners...
and btw whats the hurry... :) maybe to take a nap!!
Regarding motorcycles we should bring some drastic changes if we want to improve like ban them for instance :)

We suggest to put a deck in Hassaney's room and make one to five extra floors depending on how much "Stuff" Hassaney wants to keep in his room to show off.

Another solution would be to get a Sofa-Bed from Rainbow furniture. I'm sure Hassaney would really like to ride with some of their sales girls.
