The world we live in is enormous and displays varieties of locations for its natural beauty. This world is now a global village, which has reached its peak in means of technology. As a matter of fact, I have heard many stories about child abuse; physical,emotional and most widely spoken sexual abuse. Each and every story is hard to listen to.
Years back, I had a classmate who had signs of burns all over her face and body. It was an inhuman act from her mother soon after birth. She was brought up by the ‘mother’ who saved her and healed her burns. We as her classmates have had the experience of how this lady bundled her with love.
Some mother’s deliberate actions or attempts in killing their own sons and daughters have been stories which is heard on and on. Mostly this happens when the mother wants to hide her illegal act with her unlawful partner or partners. But why are they making the innocent babies suffer? Why are they closing the doors for those cute little beings? Why are they committing sins and adding more of those to their actions? I wonder where their heart go when they involve themselves in killing their own blood. The most miserable part of these inhuman actions is that in some way or the other family members, friends, close relatives give their hand in committing them. Instead of making them understand the wrong in doing it, they are opening them a door for those sins, just to save the wrong doer. But actually they are throwing her to the hell fire. They themselves involve in the sinful act and are adding more to their bad actions.
“Making a mistake is not a mistake, but repeating the mistake is the biggest mistake one could make”, I have heard this saying from many people. This does not mean that we can make mistakes for the first time, deliberately. We should always rid ourselves from them. This could only be possible if we put an effort and follow the way shown by our Prophet Mohammed ( PBUH ). In order to enjoy the best life we should learn from the noble verses of Quran and the religious scholars, what is wrong and right.
Though, I have previously mentioned about ‘heartless’ mothers, this is focused on all the wrong doings and unlawful acts, which are putting flames all over the societies and nations. Instead of ignoring their acts we should guide them and help them to lead a happier life – a life free of dreadful acts.

Friends love each other. They have caring thoughts deep inside their hearts. In that manner, I love my beloved friend. But the love within me might not be of importance to my old friend, today. Even before, we were miles apart. I mean we are not from the same island. But there was a time when we were very close, with the aid of technology and communication. But for a good reason we agreed to move out of each other’s life.
Now we are no longer such friends. But same wishes and prayers comes from my heart for this very special friend, for his family and his loved ones.It is because he is a loving friend, a lively,hilarious, helpful,kind person who had been a source of inspiration during most of the hard times in my life. I appreciate him for what he has done in helping me. Thanks a lot.
I wish you a very happy birthday
Best wishes from me.
We have five fingers on either hands. Also the quantity is same when it comes to our feet. They are of great use to us. Likewise, there are five senses which helps us in many ways. Our eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin,as sense organs, function very well to help us do various tasks.Without any of them we will face different obstacles.
I settled myself comfortably on the soft green pillow and the luxurious double bed , while talking to my relative Riyaa. It was such a lovely room. I observed every inch of the ceiling and the designed flower border in and around it. After a tiring trip from our capital city, I felt quite sleepy. So I helped myself to a deep sleep after closing my eyes.
I woke up around 8.30 but I didn’t want to get up that soon. So I spent sometime thinking about how I will feel in the absence of my mom. Though I was old enough, I was not thorough with cooking and wondered how I will manage. I also thought of a way to thank my cousin brothers for taking me there.
After waking Riyaa up, I went and took a fresh shower. Everything in this place was easy unlike in Mom’s place. So, it took less time and less energy. By 9.20am in our time we had finished our breakfast and we were both washing our plates and tea cups. I thought I heard some cry. That very second, I looked at Riyaa’s face to see whether she was also puzzled like me. Upon seeing the same expression on her face, I called her and hurried towards the dinning room door. As we reached the door we saw impure and dusty water filling every inch of the floor area, with great speed. We heard more cries and saw my cousin brother’s wife, her sisters and children climbing on to a small hill of coral pieces. She saw us in the helpless state and called us to follow them and we did. The water kept on filling. Everyone was terrified. Me too. Some childhood stories flashed back to my mind and made me think that it was the end of the world. We were all thinking about the Almighty Allah. our hearts were thumping rapidly and making us uneasy. Tears fell down our cheeks uncontrollably when we realized that there was no longer any access to communication facilities.
Unlike our thinking the water calmed down and took few minutes to disappear. We saw the elders ‘on alert’.Cleaning started in a rush. As we were guests they did not want us to ‘lend a helping hand’ in the cleaning tasks.Therefore, we headed out to Riyaa’s place. We were both silent but observing the stuff the water has taken here and there. We saw tins with and without lids , broken plastic pieces , pieces of logs and many more. Riyaa waved good bye and went in when she reached her destination.
I was alone and was experiencing fast pulse rate. But my curiosity to know what happened forced me to see more of it. On my way to the other end of the island I heard a dozen of stories about the extraordinary wave. Among those the most terrifying was the one about the sinking of the island, Kandholhudhoo. No sooner, I heard some announcements coming from the island office asking for the men to go and help our Muslim relations in that island. A very few men stayed with their families and the majority went to aid the ‘needy’ in the ‘available vessels’. I saw a large group of ladies gathering under the shade of a huge bread fruit tree and moved in with them. From there, I came to know the purpose of this group and joined them in preparing drinks for the people coming from that island. We all hurried to the school and made them ready. At the same time the office staff and other volunteers arranged host families for the people who are to be brought to our island.
One vessel after the other anchored safely.They were all crowded with people.
Some of our group members along with me went to receive them at the jetty. It was heart melting to hear the people’s cries; some sobbing,others hiding their tears, some wiping them and a lot of them with ‘withered’ face. On our way to the school we tried our level best to console them by talking to them. Then they were taken to the hall to give them some food and drinks. We carried with this from 12.00 till 7.30. After that they were assisted by the host families who volunteered in sharing their homes and helping them, till they find a better way.
After finishing our work I headed to my cousin’s house. I looked down and saw the latter part of my white jeans covered with mud. I felt embarrassed to be in them for that long. But felt really proud of myself for facilitating them during their hardest time in whatever way possible .
It is so wonderful, to say that almost every individual of our country contributed in helping the Internally Dispersed Population, in one way or the other. It is a great pride for me to be one among them as a pure Maldivian and a Muslim sister.
When we close our eyes we hardly see anything. When we open them we can see a whole lot. From those, our heart desires what is good, realistic, unique…. Prayers come within us, against the opposite. As human beings, we have a lot of wishes. We wish us good quality stuff. What do we wish for others?
I have been working in the profession of teaching since 2004. I have come across number of students; dear and wayward, beautiful and unattractive, confident and uncertain etc. Among them I came across a unique girl.
Unique means the only one of its kind. I assure that Nashwa was one of her kind. She was pure in deeds. She was shy and quite. But her shyness disappears when she face her audience in the academic matters. Her complexion was dark. At that time I noticed she had an average height and weight to the students of her age. I have always seen her as a very sociable student who used to smile dearly. She was excellent hygienically. Her work was very good compared to the other girls in the class. She follows our advice all the time. Today even, it seems so easy for me to imagine her singing the school song very sweetly with pride and spirit. Throughout the year she was given the responsibilities of a class monitor twice and she proved herself as a successful leader by performing her duties splendidly.
Due to the above mentioned facts, I praised her a lot. The real reason why I am sitting here alone in a dark room, and writing about her is an evidence for this. My eyes sparkle with tears of joy when I share my thoughts about this student. Fortunately or unfortunately, I had to relocate my job to a couple of schools. So I got the chance to deal with different students of assorted islands. As a teacher, I also came across few inconveniences within the classrooms. I advise them a lot. I know that all my students like me very much. But, they themselves have difficulties in controlling themselves and staying away from mischief. Every where I go, in this profession, NASHWA comes to my mind. Due to her unique characteristics, I always end up my advice with her story.
Nashwa’s exclusiveness mostly touched my heart after the Children’s day competitions of 2006. The students of our school had a great time involving themselves in the competitions like poster drawing, writing essays and many more. She loved academic activities so her name was present on the participant’s lists for those competitions. It is obvious that competitors try hard to win the competitions. She also did so. Late at night, I went on marking their essays. I was thrilled by her words. In her essay, she wrote how the day was marked and how the competitions went on. Her ultimate statements meant that she worked hard to win a prize. Even with her hard work, she failed to win a prize. She was not satisfied with her result. But she was very happy about her friend’s achievements, because she always wished them the best. She also stated that she knew that they wished themselves the best the way she wished.
Today even, I feel proud of Nashwa for her righteousness. I hope that she is still the same in her etiquettes. I wish that I will have a number of Nashwa- like students in the future. I wish that all the parents will put an effort to rear children like this child. As a result, classroom atmospheres will be smooth and wonderful, in the future.
