ABOUT ME 


I was born and raised in Maldives my whole life under the sun and near the white beaches. I spent most of my life moving from one tiny island to another, and later to the capital city Male' where I resided until March 2022. I currently reside in West Australia with my husband.  I am in the fab thirties of my life, having enjoyed most of my childhood reading Nancy Drew books and traveling to various islands. Most of my teenage life was spent studying accounting and watching Hindi movies, and my twnties working away at my several jobs and personal projects that involved loads of books, marketing, and teaching.  

Being the eldest of my family, I got spoiled by my family and relatives, much to the dismay of my two siblings. I started school at a very early age and my study life has been quite exciting moving from school to school, and two of my academic loves are Marketing and teaching. I'm currently deciding between getting a PhD or doing another Masters! 

I enjoy classic literature, tea with lots of milk, good books and hot cocoa, rings, snail mail, and lots of sunshine. My life can be summed by to do lists and journals. I dream of sunny days and quiet afternoons of reading and tea. I believe in random things, love letters to strangers, Sunday morning pep talks, unbirthdays, cartoons in the evening, mismatching socks, breaking stereotypes, feminism and handwritten letters. I also believe that happiness is like a library filled with contemporary novels and that people should be loved and respected no matter where they are from.
  
ABOUT THE BLOG

I started blogging under "Shaha's World" in 2007 finding inspiration from some other Maldivian bloggers like Aali, Munshi and Mini. In 2008, I started this blog (then known as DiaryGirl) to write about things that interest me.It's grown since then kind of a like an online diary. 

I mostly write about my daily life, Maldives, movies, bits of fashion, funny things, and about anything that interests me.  This blog is more of a personal journey and a pet project that I can look back on and thanks for joining me in this journey.

    Hei,
    I'm a Maldivian blogger, living overseas for the moment.
    Stumbled upon your blog tonight and thought I'd say hi :)
    It's nice to find girls who blog from Maldives, although yours and mine are polar opposites :)
