Maldives - I was taking a few selfies in the resort island of Biyadhoo (South Male Atoll) when a Pakistani
came up and offered. "Can I help you?" "No, I am fine, thank you
for offering," I said. "No, I saw that you were struggling. Give me
your camera," he insisted. Six pictures later, I shook his hand for being
generous. I wanted to say "no" so much because I did not need others
for selfies. Selfie nga eh. But he was being very kind I had to oblige - and pose six times
while he succinctly directed me like it was some assured, albeit professional photo shoot. Odd
circumstance. Crazy world, but in a positive way.
Later that day, back in my island in Maafushi, I barely caught the sunset. My room was about 30 meters from the beach. I scrambled to check out the kind Pakistani's photos of myself. I hated finding out that my own selfies were better than what the gentleman took. Haha. But it was all good. Nothing is lost in any kind deed.

This is the Eye in the Sky!
