Ex-Vice Chancellor, Manipur University

Am in Male, the capital of the Maldives, the last three days. While the first day was a day of rest, yesterday and today I have been to swimming in the ocean; as reported earlier the water is very clean in places near and far from the city. My first few impressions: A. Right from the Airport to city and other places, the people do not show signs of having tensions; B. Cleanliness is evident everywhere - the streets, buses, boats and the shops; C. No vehicle, including motorcycles, drives rough; D. Every street is enriched by multiplicity of crossing marks for the foot walkers; E. All the vehicles will come to complete halt whenever any person is crossing the street; the vehicle has to honour the foot walkers and not the other way round; and F. The foot walkers can straight keep crossing right from the footpath without bothering for any vehicle.
