Hang on, Malala

I have been engrossed by the news of Malala since it first came out. Malala Yousafzai, a young girl from northern Pakistan, started to write about her daily life for BBC at a tender age of 9 and later became a fearless campaigner for girls' education. She was shot in the head by Talibans on 9th of October this year for her continuing support and voicing for the right to education.

She's now made her way to UK to receive specialists' care. I am so pleased and proud that Britain offers the help to treat her instantly when the news came out. The overwhelming international responses and helps offered to her just make me admire her even more. A 14-year old girl! Her courage and bravery just pale my life into insignificance.

I want to hug you, Malala, when you come out of the hospital well and fine and walk out with your head held up high. That's the best finger you could show to Talibans.

Best wishes and find you later all smiling in the newspaper.
