		<title>You are in love, when you stop looking.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have all heard of the guy who left his girlfriend just because the new chic is hotter. We have also heard of the girl who dumped her boyfriend because the new guy is richer… It is almost accurate to say that human beings have a natural tendency to move towards something ‘better’ when the [...]

		<title>Maldives, a paradise in trouble.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maldives in the past few decades have made considerable achievements in social, economic and political fronts.  We have done well in terms of improving our GDP per capita ($2912 in 2008 at 1995 constant price), building a world class tourism industry, eliminating extreme poverty, achieving a high literacy rate (over 90% of the population) and [...]

		<title>I just found home!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t mean to be over excited but i think it&#8217;s quite cool that i can finally find my tiny teeny home in the virtual world, which has never happened before even with Google Map. Thanks to National Geographic&#8217;s  interactive map of Maldives!

I grew up on a tiny island in the Northern most atoll of [...]

To my dismay, there were almost no descriptions available online &#38; i decided to attempt a description of my own. Perhaps, it might be helpful to someone else who&#8217;s looking for it!

		<title>A photo a day for 365 days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I have done a terrible job updating my blog. However, I am proud to announce that I now have a new hobby!

Photography has always been something that has interested me. The sheer lack of talent &#38; having a point-and-shoot cybershot for the last so many years have kept me from pursuing it even [...]

		<title>Happy New Year 2010!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s a bit late but I guess it&#8217;s better late than never!
It has snowed in Beijing for 2 days this week and the city looks beautiful! Inspite of -20 degree weather I can&#8217;t help but feel festive!


Here&#8217;s wishing everyone a beautiful new year 2010 full of blessings, love and happiness.

		<title>How to import posts from Blogger to Wordpress custom domain</title>

I have switched to a WordPress custom domain from Blogger quite recently. Since I have moved I’ve been meaning to import my old blog posts from Blogger onto the new blog (not because my posts were all that cool, just because they were mine and I wouldn’t want to leave them to rot [...]

		<title>My favourite food joints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  
Wherever I have lived I have had my ‘most’ favourite food joint (among the dozens of favourites). Naturally those would be the few special places where I’d have eaten the most number of times in that particular city but not necessarily the most elegant, well-known or unique. However these places are usually relatively [...]

Ever since I have heard of Google Wave, I’ve been quite amazed by it. I am not a tech junky and I probably don’t realise some important technical aspects of what Google Wave is about. However from an average dummy’s perspective, I can still see where it’s headed and the sheer potential of [...]

		<title>Is Maldives becoming more corrupt or seeing more of it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I read the news that Maldives has slipped a few places in the Corruption Index (on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the least corrupt and 0 being the most) it was definitely a surprise!
Since embracing a fully democratic mode of governance with the election of President Nasheed through multi-party elections [...]
