Introducing myself and my journal: Be informed, be empowered

About Me:

The Maldives is developing economically at a fast speed. Yet the intellectual development and intellectual maturity of the populace is not keeping pace. I believe, the road to success lies in the fusion of these two. I feel an obligation to play a role in reaching out to the people in the outer parts of the Maldives, to encourage them to read and explore instead of being brainwashed by the political talks.

I also have a need and urge to speak about abuse against women. Most people take the abuse silently. I wish to break this silence. I am not that outspoken and I don't believe in radicalism. Yet I want to, as subtly as possible, empower women to speak up, to stand up, to have a voice.

I love my nation dearly and want the country to prosper. I want the country to be a civilized place. The new road to democracy is dividing the nation and its people's unity. I have a wish to play a role in making this journey livable.

My Passions:
Writing, Reading, History, Publishing, Research

My Challenges:
A need for diplomacy that sometimes borders on an overly introvert personality.

My Vision for the Future:
To see Maldives as a civilized sociaty that respects basic human rights.
