Once upon a time, somewhere. I used to link to blogs that should be noticed because of their Real touch on Malagasy way of life. Life you get to know while waiting for the bus at 6 in morning when you just had enough time to get coffee and menakely. Did someone read those posts? I sincerly don’t know, don’t care – maybe because I still don’t know what this blog of mine is about – but I found new ideas for this category and my little tiny brain went on its way to develop a fun game. Of course all my good friends out there were invited to take part and , surprisingly, they joined me (very quickly) in describing “Madagascar…50 years after”. Our way to share between generations on how we lived back then when life was good, how we wish the country should have turned and ,why not?, what do we want tomorrow to look like. If you happen to have 10 minutes on hands, please join us by starting the conversation among your friends and relatives especially those who had lived independance days in 1960, 1972 revolution, hard life in 1980 or streets in 1991….it won’t take you more than 10 minutes, 3 questions …I will be patiently waiting for you!!!

Who are you?
I am a student at the university of almost 20


What have been your best memories of life in Madagascar so far?

My best memory was at the beginning of the decade, it was for the holidays we used to spend n my mother`s natal country not far from Tana, The landscape has nothing special but I love this place, the open space, the rice fields, the trees and I`d like to settle there when I`ll have a family. I liked it more at this time because then, I was a child and children have another view of the world that I forgot.


How do you see our country in 50 years??

I`m sorry but I can`t imagine anything

What are you willing/planning to do to have a better life or to reach your goals in life?

To reach my goal, the greatest battle is against myself, finding the courage to reach for what I want.

    I said it because I`m much of a coward most of the time… knowing my weakness doesn`t help me from fighting against it. Still struggling.
