I was shocked to see the interview of President on CNN, where he very openly declared that Maldivians are fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That too according to him are in hundreds, at least few hundreds if not thousands. This will certainly change how the world looks at our country. I do believe that every action possible should be taken to stop this yet, I do not believe, president should advertise it. Excuse me, if you say democracy, well, then shall we see him announce tomorrow that we are next to Mexico in drugs? Best in Asia in gang fights? It is true that there are few who Maldivians who fight and are involved with Taliban. Yet they are very few. Whether we like it or not, there are people in this country who do not believe in Islam.

Are we really civilized to develop and maintain a nation as developed in this 21st century. Though I love my nation, as someone who loves to speak the

"I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me . . . All I ask is that you respect me as a human being." Jackie Robinson . Its been a while since I last updated the blog. There is something that keeps disturbing me. So thought to share with you all. Maldives is famous throughout the world as a destination of peace and stability. A heaven on earth. A paradise of white sand. We all, as Maldivians feel happy and proud of it. However, today I feel that there is something that we kept aside which we should not have. Bangalhun, the labours, the workers, the garbage takers, the drivers, the plumbers, the wielders etc etc... I have a question. You want to do something and you couldn't do it. I did it for you. Will you be thankful or will you be harming me? The very reality is that this is what those Bangalhees are doing. What you could not do!!! Cleaning the junction that you cannot clean, doing the works you'd otherwise hesitate to do. In simple terms, making the i
