Handulu Gulha Pizza

A gift for all you riders of waves on this holy month of spiritual ridings I present to you the recipe which you all can ask your mothers or wives to make with their maids at home when you turn off the wave. It is the most modern and most merciful for any dhivehin who loves Joey and has a thing for italian tourism market.

Ingredients
1 smoked fish (valhow mas)
1 grated coconut
1/2 inch of ginger
3 chillies (or more!!)
1 onion
3 curry leaves
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 cup rice (soaked overnight in water)
salt (dhe ingili kurin negey varuge)
mozzarella cheese

Making this pizza is fun, healthy and local. Now lets get started. Make the dough as you would do for making Gulha using the soaked rice. When done mix and make the mas gandu, and spread it on top of the dough. This is where mozzarella comes handy. If this doens't work get a pre-made pizza dough from Fantasy as well. Buy the Gulha from Memorial Hotel and take the mixture and spread it on top of the dough. Now add some tomato sauce and tell your friends that it's a local pizza. "It feels like making love to Monica Belucci on a Holhu Ashi" says my friend Roberto Nizar who has had a taste of it. Enjoy.

MDP's presidential candidate

Nowadays the hottest coffee story of Male' and in UK is who's the presidential candidate from MDP. MDP has kept it's candidate really secretive. Their argument is if they reveal the candidate too soon the government may copy it and present the same candidate as theirs. This goes to all their other policies as well. We people are to suffer. They say that they have better education plans, health care schemes, transport plans. But they do not want others to know.

It is like my friend Jabir from my island. He knows how to build rockets that can go back in time. But he do not want to build it because he thinks that others may copy.

Anyway many MDP people are not very happy about presenting Munavvaru and Zaki as the candidate. Because they both once were the most corrupt ministers of the current regime. People do not want to reward corruption and injustice by making them the next presidents.

Rumours say that MDP may support Dr. Hassan Saeed. But for me I am with Anni. He has said that he does not want to become the president. But he has done more work to reform than any one else. And he has a very presidential height.

Jennifer Latheef protesting on world press freedom day

Jennifer Latheef (Jenny) has gone through transformations in more ways than we can keep track of. Today she can be a photographer for Minivan, tomorrow she's working for NASA (maldives branch). But you will never know what she was doing yesterday - for safety reasons.
