I am sitting here at the Maldives Islamic Bank. There is a gentleman sitting beside me who is on his third phone call since half an hour.

He is speaking loud enough for everyone in the sitting area to hear. He is talking about his girlfriend, his wife and family, and his party. And also his relationship with powerful party icons and the party media outlet. It is really disturbing but I dare not say anything!

In the middle of all of this now he says this is my personal affair and nobody else’s business!

He is now inquiring about who would be the chair of the women’s committee. He thinks that it was fixed.

He is now again gone back to talking about who doesn’t take a “bit” when there’s the opportunity. And goes on to talk about who is whose “bit” and so on.

What privacy of the man’s personal matters!
