  • Maldivian Boduberu Street Performances in Hulhumale

    Maldivian Boduberu Street Performances in Hulhumale

    The following series of Maldivian Boduberu performance Videos were shot in Hulhumale, in Male, Maldives. After we landed in Malé, and moved into the hotel located in Hulhumalé, in the night me and my daughter went out for a stroll when we saw a gathering and noises a bit far… as we walked closer we realized it is a performance on the street.

    Little did we knew that we are witnessing the traditional Maldivian dance and music form Boduberu (name of the drum instrument). The trip started off on a great note, with this surprise performance on the streets of Hulhumalé.

    The atmosphere was indeed electric, with disco lights illuminating the streets of Hulhumalé. The troop, unfortunately I could not speak to, were part of the Dhammaanu Boduberu. I could understand a few words here and there (some words are similar in Hindi and Dhivehi, the language of Maldives), but largely unheard of lyrics and rhythm.

    What surprised me was the energy and the feel I got just standing there with my 5 year old was amazing! I can definitely get some help in naming the songs, as I have little clue what the song names are…

  • Blackberry is not in a mood to put down the fight

    I came across this article at GigaOM related to BlackBerry getting down and requesting Developer not to abandon the platform, given that there is a further delay in developing phones with BlackBerry 10 OS. I read the article and it pretty much sums up the feel around BlackBerry beautifully. What I really wanted to share here is this brilliant video message BlackBerry created for its developers.

    From a company that is in doldrums and facing the ire of its stakeholders for not keeping up with its competition, mounting losses each quarter and job cuts and losing their developer base to iOS and Android – this was something I never expected.

    The last parts, the developers, are key to any mobile operating system in today’s app frenzy world. The above video was created by company’s employees who are putting their heart (and many man hours) out to get BlackBerry back in shape. This for me is an example of best inspiration they could provide to its developers.

    Putting down an optimistic outlook for your partners, in such a musical way was probably not thought of before or that I am not aware of. The lyrics themselves are a brilliant use of technological jargons which developers are familiar with and instantly has this emotional connect.

    Great work BlackBerry on this one, if not on your phones yet. Kudos!
