Happy to have won best feature award (2021) for this article. I spent weeks researching various papers on shark fisheries in the Maldives for this one. Thank you to all my editors then and now, who helped me get this far.
Thanks for the tweet @akshaykumar, I grew up watching your movies. 😎

This is the biggest uninhabited island in Maldives, Gdh Gan. Hundreds of years ago a huge population of people used to live here. But the entire population was wiped out. How it happened is still a mystery to historians. There are many legends about it
After the surges or "udha" that occurred few weeks back, locals of Hulhumeedhoo discovered a newly formed island near Ismahelahera, Addu. These type of islands are known as "Huraagandu". Locals estimate the length of the newly formed huraagandu to be a kilometer

[Thread] Met this nice lady from Gahdhoo on my trip to Gdh Gan. She has a farm there. Her biggest complain was that she cant grow ala (taro) in Gan anymore. According to her and some other Gahdhoo women i talked to it has been this way for atleast 5 years.
This one time in college a classmate straight up left rashah in the middle of the semester and disappeared for two weeks and nearly failed all modules. When he came back we asked what happened he said "ey ma kudakoh boa hamajassaaly"
I need that.
After 3 years at @sunbrk I resigned yesterday. Will miss the great team who were like a second family to me. My next chapter is with @Mihaarunews . Excited for the new beginning
