The conversation on population consolidation is a hard one. However it is harder to see the outcome of populations reducing in size to the point it is no longer able to function. Diseconomies of scale. #Maldives

Good to see the running track packed with so many people trying to keep fit and healthy. Cardio & weight training (which can also be bodyweight exercises, not necessarily the gym!) can do wonders for physical and mental well-being. Of course, a healthy diet is another key factor.

Coconut is on the import list. I think our problem with the coconut price hike is about the supply chain. Plenty of coconuts in the many islands. What we lack is the robust mechanism to deliver it to the city folk where the demand is. Or create shelf-stable products with it.
