[caption id="attachment_115400" align="alignright" width="156"] Ismail Zaorez Shabab[/caption] Born and Brought up in Dubai Muaz Shabandri belongs to a 'Bhatkallys' family who has been achieving everything a youth dreams of, but has always preferred to stay away from the public radar and publicity, unlike most of the youths of his age. He describes himself on his Facebook timelines as 'A traveller in pursuit of everything in between Life and Death. Read, Write, Repeat.' Well, I must say that just defines him halfway, and there is alot more attributes in this young, energetic Journalist. You can call him, Journalist, Photo Journalist, book worm, techie, troubleshooter and what not. And you will not be disappointed for calling him anything from that bucket. [caption id="attachment_115394" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Muaz Duuring an Interview With Shahrukh Khan[/caption] He started his Journalistic career with one of the major News Agency of Gulf 'Khaleej Times' and has the Pride of Interviewing some of prominent International Personalities including, APJ Abdul Kalam, Shahrukh Khan, Kiran Bedi, Imran Khan, AR Rahman and the list goes on. He also has been part of many reporting assignments and projects of Khaleej Times and has travelled Across the world for it. He was Awarded a special recognition award from UAE education Ministry for his work in Education Reporting. He is currently working as Senior English Writer, for Knowledge and Human Development Authority, a part of UAE government which takes care of educational reforms in UAE. Well, That in itself is an achievement, but it is his Humble Nature that keeps him away from the from the limelight and from the world of arrogance and show off. Hence making him lesser known figures of our community, especially at our base town, Bhatkal. Where he deserves to be known by every youth of the town. Undoubtedly his career is yet to reach its peak and he has alot more to give back to the society [caption id="attachment_115393" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Muaz Sharing a Candid Moment with UAE Higher Education Minister His Excellency Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan[/caption] Apart from this, on the community front he is someone whom I would call the 'Perfect Patriot' of the Community'. He is serving the community in more than one way, stepping into his father's shoes, Mohsin Shabandri, the founder and chairman of Bhatkallys.com a community portal which is one of the most valuable asset of the community in the field of Media and Mass communication, he is serving as the Managing director Cum editor-in-chief, And with his immense knowledge of Mass Media and a able and dependable team, leadership of his father and seniors at office, he has led the portal to be one of the most visited and trusted website of Coastal Karnataka.

And I believe our Youths can do wonders under his Leadership. Let's pray his services may continue to bring more laurels to the community and he keeps on growing in his career.   Written and Edited by: I Zaorez Shabab Ismail Zaorez Shabab is an Aspiring Journalist from Bhatkal, based in Dubai and is part of the 'BHATKALLYS FAMILY'
