Why or what is Thundho? I am "Thundho" -"ތުންދޮ" Because Kokko ( @alaadidii ) accidentally called me that instead of Dhontha. I liked the name better and it got stuck. I like to think of it as an honorific rather than a name.

Drawing Kaafa and first time he held me. 3 years ago I held his hand for the last time in IGMH. There isn’t a day that goes by , that I do not think of him. He was the safe haven I ran to always. Times like these I miss him even more.

Finished a kasab bovalhu on a Kuda hedhun. This is not how a dhivehi libas looks like. So I call this dhivehi hedhumeh. Why? This dress lacks "kah" (gusset) and bovalhu lacks" koi" (slit on shoulder). Bovalhu follows the basic pattern though which makes it dhivehi.
