We all seem to attract it. Or maybe it attracts us...depends on the way you look at it. Chances are if you're a Maldivian, you're involvedin some form of drama or you know someone involved in some form of drama(and since male' is so incredibly tiny, you're probably connected to all parties involved and thus, it becomes your drama too). Honestly, I'm not making this up.
Just look at the divorce rate in Maldives, and theres drama..right there. Maldives tops the charts with a divorce rate of 10.97% (aww, aren't we proud) with Belarus coming up next with a rate of 4.65%. Sigh, sad innit? It's not even close.
There could be a billion reasons why our divorce rate is so high, but in my opinion, theres one factor above the rest.
Hindi.Drama.Series.
With wives chopping up husbands for the mere fun of it and evil mothers in law plotting to kill their daughters in law, is it any wonder why Maldivians feel incomplete without any drama in their lives? Just look at those dhivehi movies...most of the plots involve a mistress or 'another man' at some point in the movie. Now, I'm not putting down my country at all and most foreign movies are just the same, but the drama always seems to be worse in Male' because one persons business is everyones business.heh.
Take me, for example. I detest drama. Loathe it. Yet, here I am...jumping into it time and time again despite the wise little voice in my head telling me to run as fast as my in-the-process-of getting-toned legs can take me. Do I listen? No. And why, you may ask? 5 words...
Theres Just No Escaping It
Sigh. I digress

hmm.ti kahala visnun hunna kudhin gina ee kaneinge ehnu.drama kulhey hie vegen doesnt give a second thought to ur lil voice in the head thts sayin u to run away.if u try,"just maybe" u mite escape it.wel ppl in da other countries are doin so.why cant we?
true true...but cmon beybe...u hate drama too...but dont u face it from time to time too?:P
bodu drama aa ekkoh ulhunyma vaany eheney.. lol :P
i dont see any probs with the dramas n all. stuff like that happen alll the time. that doesnt mean we have to be influenced by everything we see. everyone has their own choice in the matter. u of all ppl shud knowthat. everyone will have ethics and the extend to which they choose to hold it is upto them.
but then again u are right. most ppl do take examples from such dramas and do get influenced alot from them. so in short i guess most maldivians are jes damn gullible. :)
