High! How are you?

nothing much going on.. i guess everyone is too busy with the ramzaan and all.. i am not sure whats going on with the people under house arrest.. my guess is everyone is laying low for a while trying to see where this is going or maybe they are waiting for them to set a trial date or how the gov is going handle this situation...
for some reason there are a lot of crime happening in the capital city.. now crime is again a subjective thing.. this is no crime compared to other major cities.. but for maldivians pick pocketing is a crime.. and mugging someone is a major crime.. when i grew up there was never a mugging and i don’t think there is a word in maldivies dictionary for mugging.. funny... now i guess the gov has to come up with a new word...at least we are enriching our language.. mostly the crime is directly related to the drug epidemic.. it is such a rampant problem that its is out of control now.. i think the gov did very little initially tackle it until it was too late.. and its too late now... creating rehabilitation centers or increasing the number of councilors wont help, my guess would be that.. now is the time to start from the very young generation thought education.. for most part of nineties not even the gov but the people where in denial about the problem.. refusing to talk about it.. the problem of drugs in the islands are getting worse.. lack of a policing service make it worse. unlike the capital the islands have little agencies to look in to these social problems.. i have this feeling that in the next ten years the problem will explode and this will effect the economy in major ways... i think independent people should starting taking statistics and see which methods are working.. maldives is not us or europe its different.. what work in these countries will not work in maldives contradictory to some of the oppositions arguments.. thats the problem with the opposition they look at other counties models and try to bring it to this small island nation..
i bet there is one person in every family in the capital male' who is in to drugs.. this is a scary situation when you consider there are only 300 000 people in the whole country.. i think the problem of drugs is a much worse problem that the government face than the actual reform groups..
