Three Musketeers. Character development; if you are a Kenyan, I will not even bother going into the details of the definition. At this point, you have sung this name and even inserted it in places it doesn't make sense. Some have used it to seek sympathy from unsuspecting and naive victims, and others have used … Continue reading Karakta Development

The Lover’s Meadow
A long day is over, as I stride with a pace of grace, and stop at the long queue at the Supermetro, I can’t help but notice a couple in front of me. The twilight hours, the buzz of the city, and the night lights set the ambience for them. You can tell that their … Continue reading The Lover’s Meadow
Say Cheese

And then the credits roll, and … Continue reading Phantom Pain
Dry Bones Dance

You definitely can't help but agree with that little voice that keeps reminding you that indeed, Nairobi is not an easy place to reside. It always props up at those times when: Caro "ate your fare", now you are looking … Continue reading Dry Bones Dance
Bokilo Mwasi
No. Not Charity Mwamba. It's the one who pulls out all the stops to ensure that the only time you're smiling is when you're brushing your teeth. Fully convinced in her evil-scheming mind that you are the weapon fashioned against her dear Kimani (read kababa), she probably suffers hiccups every time he appears in one … Continue reading Bokilo Mwasi
What Are The Odds?
There's this feeling I usually have at times when I feel everything is plain. Plain? More like how water tastes, you can't really describe it. Yet it's when I have this feeling that my mind tends to think of the most ludicrous subjects. Today that happened to be gambling. What led me to think of … Continue reading What Are The Odds?
