Nisar and Malathi Keshvani come from Singapore. It is known as one of the Asian Tigers thanks to its scientific and technological achievements and ever-growing living standards. Therefore, many people tend to ask this young married couple why they left their prosperous homeland and chose our unstable mountainous region as their place of current residence. “We just wanted to be useful here,” sincerely responded the couple. Whilst interviewing them, I could truly feel their sincerity.
The Aga Khan’s visit to Singapore
Mr and Mrs. Keshvani have been living in the Kyrgyz Republic for a year now. In a way, fate brought them to this country by chance. In 2008, when His Highness the Aga Khan visited Singapore, Nisar was involved with the Singapore media relations activities. During a media interview with the Singapore newspapers he helped arrange, Nisar met with the University of Central Asia’s Director General, Dr Bohdan Krawchenko. UCA is part of the broader Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN).
