Steel drums in winter

Dear Thathu,

I heard about the water crisis in Male' today and felt guilty that we take so much for granted. We turn our taps and out pours the water. We go to the supermarket and the the choice of brands is innumerable. The same goes with our food. It is only when there is a shortage we appreciate what we already have.

I was walking in town today and came across the fruit and veggie stall they always have on a Thursday. I loved to browse around the stall. Sometimes I just don't buy anything but stop by to say Hello to the people there. The same goes for the lady selling ice cream. But what struck me today was the man playing the steel drums. He was standing on the side and entertaining all the passers-by. Steel drums are not something one normally associates with winter. But in a strange sort of way it was just perfect listening to him against the backdrop of Christmas lights twinkling in the distance. The weather was crispy and cold in the winter sunshine. 

I am sorry the video is rather short. But do enjoy.
