Words & Bullets; What they have in common

"Ng'ombe wewe"....... "Muone, anatembea kama bata" ........ "Kichwa ngumu tu kama baba yake" ..........."You are just a useless human being" ....... "another poor excuse of a human being" ..... etc etc  These are some common derogatories I am sure you must have heard in your neighbourhood at…

Rich or Poor?

I don't know who it is who said this but I remember reading somewhere that "Two people can look at the same exact thing and have two totally different perspectives ......". Well, I don't know about you, but this story here seems to have captured this quote to the letter.    One…

Campaign Trail or Campaign Fail?

I am no Mutahi Ngunyi the very vocal Kenyan political analyst but when I look at the campaign trails we are being subjected to on a daily basis, I think its a total fail. In my opinion, the campaigners seem to have missed the point totally.   If I may ask, these guys who are going around…

Supplements or not?

If we were to go by what self-made dieticians and other such advisors tell us, then we would never eat cooked food. We would live like the guys before homosapiens did; i.e. keeping it raw and cold. But then again, we have another group of people telling us that eating raw food could cause us more…

The Power of Your Mindset

As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages, just a small rope! It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were…

Are you Proactive or Reactive?

Like Al Pacino in the movie “Insomnia” I suffer this disorder a lot, though not for the same reasons as he did. Some time back I suffered this and my mind went wandering……Do you ever wonder why we are such a reactive people as opposed to being proactive? Take our governments for example – why do…

A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light and the Savior appeared. The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. This the…

Chinese Bamboo

Today has been quite a frustrating day for me. Enough times I came close to screaming; literally! But I was in the wrong place all the time. You see, I live in Dar es salaam, a city known to have temperatures of up to 35 deg Celsius sometimes. Then the infamous TANESCO decides to cut power at…

Extreme Makeover

If you were to ask me, I think the most challenging job is that of a Brand Manager. Why do I say this? Because this person is responsible for ensuring the brand (s)he is dealing with has the right image at all times; even when it misbehaves. It is their responsibility to ensure that even when the…

No Pain, No Gain

About  3 months ago I had to come face to face with harsh reality, when I realized I was beginning to “grow” a pot-belly. You know for a woman that is not very good news and so obviously I had to do something about it. I had two options; either to adopt a workable diet or to hit the gym and…

Fuel Gauge

  One of my greatest hobbies is driving long distance. It is therapeutic for me, and though many might say it is dangerous to drive when annoyed or stressed, for me it works magic any time. It is important to note though that its not just any car that works for me; don’t give me a Toyota Vitz…

I have learned....

Someone once said that you don’t need to be in class for you to learn a thing or two… how true this is! Lessons come our way every single day, regardless of where we are at, or who we are with at that precise moment. Question is, how often do we retain the lessons we learn? It is with this question…

The Quiet Power of Rising
  The last few weeks have been… a lot.  I’ve been on the road and in the sky—between cities, between countries—juggling assignments, battling changing weather conditions that swung between 11°C and 25°C, and trying to keep up with it all.… more
