SAY NO TO DRUGS

It is not olden days any more. Where ever you go you would face the so called "parteys" (locally known for Drug Addicts and other gang members). It seems major proportion of our youth is involved in some extent in drug trafficing or other..

My cousin who was so good in studies lost his future because of it. Once he was one of the leading accountants in Maldives, but now he is no man. lives in the island trying to fight against drugs with the help of his family.

In my own opinion, the govt is unable to act upon and to minimise it due to a lot of constraints. Drug trafficing is highly involved with world known gangs like MAFIa and other gangs that are in India and Pakistan. So assume how much difficult it would be with a 1200 islands scattered all over the indian ocean.

But we need to act.. from the parental level to the govt level and i think we should before it is too late..

WORLD MUSIC DAY

Hi everyone,

After a long time here's my first post. I went to the World Music Day festival which was held on Friday Night. The show was awesome but the lighting was horrible. Met Notsogoodphotography and Obofili there... Later on found Dude crush and Clopp taking pics..

I went to test and to improve my photography and i think i need a lot of improvement to get some quality images. Hope i would get some more chances to take shots....

One year almost

It has been almost a year since i posted anything in my blog and i guess i should start from now on.. I wish i could.. but by laziness is killing me!! errr!!!!

The fast and the furious

The name seems to be ironic to me now. It's a pity that some of our youth watch the movies and really try to follow the stunts in the tiny and narrow roads of Male'. It was a shock to me and my friends to hear the news in the early morning. One of my closest buddy’s brother was a real bad victim of the horrible incident. A cop who were having a talk with his friend lost his leg and have been paralised for the entire life because of it.

But the real question is that what are the speedy freaks doing in the streets of Male’ and why are they allowed to do it when everyone knows about it! Even my 13 year old brother was asking my mom to send him to watch it! In fact he woke up one day around 4’o clock in the morning to go there!! I really thank god that he was not allowed!

But some times, the speedy freaks should learn is to think positive!. None of us do I guess! We always think that rules are meant to be broken and it makes us loose one of our friend’s life or an innocent person. The thrill that they get for 30 seconds has made a person crippled for his entire life!

It has been a long time since I wrote anything in here, but just wanted to share my deepest thoughts regarding the incident with all of you guys!

Trip to Kyoto

KIYOMIZU-DERA

Atlast the training is over. We are currently visiting to Kyoto for a study tour to learn more about Japanese Culture. We came to Kyoto by bullet train and i manage to take some pics of mountains with snow. It was really difficult to take a good shot. Kyoto is the oldest city in Japan and it was the previous capital too. We visited Kiyomizu Temple, which is located in Otowasan, one of the Kyoto's Higashiyama(east mountains), commanding a great panaromic view of the whole Kyoto City.

The temple was founded by Yenchin in the 8th century (780) and the present structure was rebuilt in the 17th century (1633) consist of Niomon(two stories gate of the Deva Kings), Sanjunoto (three storied pagoda), shoro (bell tower) and some others.

The view from the temple is simply amazing, with red leaves all over the place. I really enjoyed the nature around here. Though my hand was freezing, i manage to capture around 192 pics. By the time i returned to the bus, my hand was really shivering bad. But i manage to show a bright smile :D
