what people say............

It is very nice to know how people feel about you. I thought my blog would be rich enough if I can write something like this. So I sent a message to my entire contact list on face book and msn. It is nice to see that people reply by sending me whatever they feel. As we all know it would be very difficult to express what we feel for others, but still I appreciate for their reply…

I was surprised by few replies, because I didn’t know I was like that. From the all replies I got, I had a few things that I need to make correct myself. That was the important part, may be one of the best part in going ahead with an idea like this.

Unfortunately... in this writing I won’t be able to bring you from my family side as most of them are not on msn or face book. Most of my close friends are also out of reach in this context… but I will try to bring some of them and as well as students, classmates, friends and others too. Here I just write what exactly they say about me… with the same wordings..

Let’s start it from what my best friend says… He has been with me since childhood… in our group, team, club and every step of my life… he says that “well, I don’t think I can write all of it in my mind about you. But’ll try my best.... Hmmmm...Since my childhood u were there with me, sharing each and everything. And also u cared me as a brother although u r a close relative. Same way I shared and cared u, I guess... Ever since u r my closest friend, u helped me in almost everything, u advised me on every step of my life, u enjoyed with all my joys, u felt sorry for every misfortune in my life. So in short u r a good friend which is hard to find as diamonds. u r a funny buddy and a good adviser who cares his friends a lot. So u r THE BEST... and thnks for being such a friend and a brother. tc “…. Yea he was right… he did the same thing… am too glad to have a best friend like him.

One of my close relatives wife…. So my sister -in- law says “u are a person with gud heart, friendly & nice brohter to me ... u are cool man ... God bless u . .. Wish always happiness eagy .. tc “ These are the two people I could bring from that category.

The school days are some of the few days in our life that it would be difficult to forget as they are very beautiful days in your life… My class mates … they say “You are the best jadu jadu I have ever had....thankz buddy “ hehe.. that’s a name they call me because they got to know from me that it is a name called for a short eat in Maldives. Cool huh!!.

And “u r sweet n funny n wonderful n carin n creative friend i know ;) “. And another class mate said “u r decent ,smart n intelligent..wat else z dare den igu, u r still d same sinc i met u , cute frnd,i guess most f ppl who u knw, liks u alot, may b dts coz f d way u treat dem..n i luvu dnt tak it -ve, nt luv luv as a frnd, n last, 1day znt enugh 2 old enugh 2 b elder dan me,,,heheheh bi imsure ull get nice responses..... n 1 more thing, i like ur old hair style,curly wide hair ,,,,lol....”

There were three very close buddies in our class whom with I studied a lot together... and one of them says " well, u r the jud jud dho..just kiddin. ure very open minded person, open minded in instances where you should be, and conservative in where u should be conservative...very caring and always care about friends...and one thing i like about you is that you have a very good sense of humor even though you are a bit sarcastic sometimes.."

Since I came to Srilanka, friends here are some people who make my life worth here… I thank each and every one of them for their great support and the friendship they share with me… One of them… a girl who is like a sister to me quote “well i think ur one of the really cool guys i've met.its coz u respect people nd in turn u deserve the v.best in life.well ive known u 4 a year now.nd i think u really care abt ur friends i still remember u callin me up just 2 chk whetr evryting is allryt.u r one of dose people who try 2 make others lives comfortable.nd dats v.sweet.

You confess mistakes easily.which is a true sign of nobility. Just write in ur blog my friends think im d best coz i say so.God Bless u “

A boy from the same class and is like a bro to me replied saying “....the bubbly Maldivian around Mercury...lol...Got to meet this wonderful brother in the MADM class which was my 1st class in Colombo.......At first sight I couldn't figure out what sort of a person he was, but found out that he was kinda popular around, with lots of people around him, making fun in the class and having a nice time. I was kinda alien to him at the beginning, so we didn’t have a chat 4 d 1st 2 days or so, but knew dat we come 2 d same class.
One good old evening after class, when the busses were crowded, when the roads were jammed, consequently both of us got into d same bus. This was where we spoke 4 d 1st time and wasn't it a memorable conversation. I was very shocked bout the openness of this guy. He told me almost everything about him. Hats off to u bro.... From that day onwards, this Maldivian bro has been one of those memorable people in my lives.
The way he thinks, the way he speaks, the way he moves around, everything has friendship embedded within it. I'm really greatful to go for giving me a friend ike u. He's been so supportive at times and I have heard and seen this guy heling out a lot of people around him, specially his other friends with their both personal and academic lives.
Really proud to have u as my friend brother. and Thanx a lot for all wat uv done to me all these days. Hope and pray that u succeed in all ur endeavors in the future.”

Another friend who I met in strategic class feels that am 1 bubbly character she have seen. And a guy who is very close has to say that “As long as i know you have been one of the best Maldivian guys whom i have met. But you tend to show moods to people at times... i suggest you to keep smiling at everyone and all the time (merit).” Thanx buddy letting me know it… hopefully you won’t see it again :D. His other half and one of the sweetest girl I met in SL and one of the closest buddy says "da nicest guy iv evr met after ....!!!!!! seriously.. sm1 who wont judge people but take them as they are.ur kind gentel perfect in evryway. "

My closest buddy in foundation and still a very close friend who treats me like a brother says "Hmmm...u hav a very friendly charactr......rarely gets angry......alwayz tryn to keep othr ppl hapy.....quite mature enough.......willin to help friends in al possible instances.........every bdy lyks to hangout wit u coz of easy movin charactr................. "

Some other friends from SL says….” Im siriusly think that u r a nice frnd ALWZ. u cn live n associate any1. I js rly dnt no abt u vry wel. Bt my opinion is u r a caring n sharing fnd. kp it” and one member from the “toxic” family says “you are a great guy brother....... i hope u never change..... “ while his girls friend replied saying “i've met you only once but i felt you are a very gentle soul and i hear you are a man of principles. keep it up. the world needs more people like you.” And finally from SL one who worked in our institution says “well i feel you are a Good and Understanding Friend.... very good qualities... willing to help others.... and you are very handsom, naughty fun loving down to earth person”

One of my co-worker said “u r the MARS chocolate bar at contracting....in short the 'energy' “. Another friend says “you are a cool n great guy! and a very friendly friend. :D n u know how to make people laugh! “

Now it comes to my students …i.e. the students I taught in tuition class… most of them were really great and are still in touch and doing very good in life. One of the girl who got second place from the entire Maldives top 10 says “u r da best teacher a student cn ever wish t have.....a frend whose worthy than nyth on da earth......u r always there wen i nyd u.....sharing ur views nd opinions n guiding me thru da tough days......ill never frgt those sms u sent me during o levels.....they wer one thng dat kept my confidence other than ur valuable advices.....u will always b someone close t my heart( evn tho i dnt get much chance t tok t u nw ) knowing u was kinda blessing fr me....so thanx a lot fr evrythn sir......( alsu words really cnt xpress hw i fyl abt u )”

while another girl who is very close and nice says “well....ur ONE of my fave teachers.not just sayng this... as a friend,ur really kind,trusted..well..ur great listener u know :) i know ur a very caring peron.and most importantly u understnd others feelings wich i love most. i wish u a very bright future..and im really happy i got a friend like u.”

Finally a boy whom I know before I taught him… and is a friend of many of my friends and mine too said “canadian people are good friends of ma family you came for studies and accommodate in one of ma cousins house..you were a great guy who got a nice girl so that a neighbouring friend had a crush on her and we almost had some missions to make you in trouble but later on we realised that you are a great friend and teacher who thought me maths ...and some of ya student almost liked you..keke “

These are what people feel about me... What they say about me… everyone has a different view… that’s how it would be… but I am thankful to each one of you spending few minutes of your time to write something for me…

I really feel great and lucky to have all of you in my life… we might sometime not be in touch … we might not express our feeling towards each other.. We might forget things… but am sure I will not forget such a great people in my life and will be always there with me…
