A young girl in a mini-skirt says to a friend, 'Wouldn't it be great if we could wear skirts like the English Prep school girls!'
She is only worried about one thing - not being able to have her school uniform above her knees.
'It was incredibly hard for her to bend over because of her mini-skirt.'
She wants uniforms as short as evening dresses, fashioned in a way that everyone will notice.
A girl gets off the Viligili ferry and walks towards the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital. Because of her short dress, most of her thighs are exposed.
'... the material was so transparent that you could make out the curves of her body.'
After a while, when she walked up to a group of young boys she began to pull down parts of her dress, stretching it. She tries very hard to lengthen the dress.
Why the hesitation to be in front of others in a mini-skirt, if you choose to wear it?
If instead she wore a dress more suitable for the Maldivian environment, discreet and considered appropriate by Maldivian society, then she would not have to pull at the hem of her dress to feel covered.
A tall girl is in one of the stalls of the Society for Education. Her dress was about a handspan above her knees.
Due to a collision with a child in the stall a paper file in her hand fell to the floor.
It was incredibly hard for her to bend over because of her mini-skirt.
She slowly pushed it behind a desk with her foot and at last picked up the file.
Many people ridiculed her about it and the next evening she wore a shalwar-kameez.
Dressing appropriately for the place and occasion makes you feel comfortable and avoids embarrassment.
A young girl who was watching a weekend show was complaining there were too many men staring at her.
She didn't think about the reason. She was wearing a dress that was shorter than Maldivians usually wear, and the material was so transparent that you could make out the curves of her body.
It is very important to dress in a discreet way to avoid ridicule and suggestive glances from others.
Maldivian society approves of such discretion.

Maldivian Fashion Burugaa VS Islamic Hijab.
Moderate Islam is much the topic these days.So we all agree Islam is a practical and moderate religion (compared to those other divine religions..but not compared to noreligion-religion,or the new world religion or the vatican's satanist religion)... there is a difference between the saying.."Islam is a moderate religion"...and "a moderate version of Islam"...or 'Enlightened.
Nowadays in Maldives we see a lot of young girls wearing the burugaa...some are drug addicts and almost all get involved in illegal sexual acts...the traditional maldivian version of islamic hijab-burugaa,in dhivehi language- have been modified..every one tries out a different style...but i have found that the ones wearing these burugaaz are worse than the ones not wearing em (in some cases). But this does not mean every one wearing hijab is to be blamed for what some,or most of em do.
Another important point to note, when wearing hijab is...that it has to cover the whole body. to cover means..with opaque clothing..and not revealing the shape of the body (as most maldivians do it)...if it is ok to wear thight clothes with burugaa...the teletubbies are also wearing hijab....and this women (naked and body painted but wearing burugaa) is also wearing the islamic hijab... you can see her all naked..but ..her skin is covered (with paint)..whats the difference??? between her and a maldivian burugeez girl?If you call it an Islamic Hijab..it:::::
1.Must cover and conceal the whole body of her (except the face and hands).
2.The garments should not be so thin or transparent as to reveal her body.
3.The main garment must be a flowing one (ie;the women must avoid tight or clinging clothes which exaggerate or show her figure,or any part of it,such as breasts,legs and arms).
4.Muslim women, in order to safeguard their cultural identity ,are discouraged from imitating the dress of non-muslim women.
5.Inorder to maintain their feminine identity women are forbidden to imitate men in dress.
6.It is necessary to avoid clothes that attract the attention of others.
7.Wearing perfume on clothes either outdoors or when meeting strangers indoors should be avoidedand.
8.The dress of the muslim women must be clean and free from bad odour and dirt.
This is what the "islamic hijab" should be like..(well almost.) So if you think this is extreme gender discrimination..or something like that..just say no to isalm..just say Mohamed (PBUH) was an extremist and get lost!!!!

Will Madonna come up with anything original in the 21st
century? Not content with ripping off ABBA; Madge is now ripping off MTV too...
Well, she is planning on copying the channel’s car make over show ‘Pimp My Ride’ on her new video.
Apparently the material girl is so fond of the show (despite no-one in her house ever watching TV) she plans to recreate it in her video for new single ‘Sorry’.
She will take an old Ford Cortina and transform it…the video will also feature a cameo appearance from the world’s worst hip hop DJ and wannabe, Tim Westwood.
A source told The Sun: "Madonna really loves the MTV show. She wanted to do a video with a rags-to-riches story, taking a battered old British banger and turning it into something special.
"Her record company contacted the MTV producers behind Pimp My Ride and they came up with a storyboard and car for the video."
Pay someone to think of some original ideas for you please!!!!!

Garam Masala
Almost close on the heels of a successful film titled Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, comedy king David Dhawan returns with a mega-starrer that promises loads of trademark David Dhawan masala. And for this movie he gets together with producer Vashu Bhagnani with whom he has always come up with hit films like ‘ Coolie No.1’, ‘Hero No.1’ and ‘Biwi No.1’.
As for the storyline, while Raj (Fardeen Khan) loves to paint the town red, Bhavana (Ayesha Takia) has a spiritual outlook. Whereas he wants fun 'n' frolic in the bed room, she prefers pooja paath in the prayer room.
Veer (Zayed Khan) likes to flirt and Diya (Esha Deol) is interested in acting. While Veer wants to play a flirt, the only role Diya will consider is the one in films.
Aryan (Sharman Joshi) is God’s gift to women wanting love, and Sonia (Soha Ali Khan) is a life line for women wanting divorce.
Meanwhile no one knew that three bomb shells Madhuri (Ria Sen), Dimple (Sophie Chaudhary) and Rekha (Arti Chabaria) will have an explosive blast with Raj, Veer and Aryan.
And most important of all is the ‘Kabab Mein Haddi’, Lucky Bhaiya aka Lukhwinder Singh (Sanjay Dutt). He adds spice to the perfect khichdi cooked by the guys and make their wives suspicious.
