Ever since I heard the word “Fandharaa” , as I mentioned which means Friendship in our language, I was very interested it. Breathlessly I reserved it on my own and on the Net by creating e-mail accounts unfortunately I did not buy it on any of webhoster. I had an impression that no one will ever create or either opens a real business under the name of Fandhara. Thus I keep on introducing it to my friends as an identity of mine in virtual world. Meantime I asked them if they need to know more about me just go to Google and type Fandhara and hit enter.
Strikingly one day, one of true my friend sent me a link with a sad news it says “ Fandharaa Bookshop has officially registered in Maldives”. I was really despondent of it, but later I knew that I was wrong, cox I did not officially take this name by the authorities. Choosing trade names mostly governed by “first come first server” policy.
