Who is a hero? What makes a heroine? What makes them such? What qualities do these individuals possess? Are heroes and heroine immortal? Do they live forever in our hearts and our minds? If you and I take the time to sincerely and honestly answer these difficult questions then it would be no brain teaser who really comes to mind. Every one of us as…
Life's a Safari
Maisha ni safariWe are our worst enemies sometimes; how be it that we base our individual success on the parameters determined by someone else. We read quick self-help, motivation and auto biographies in a bid to understand what made so and so a remarkable success. We don’t take time to acknowledge the fact that everyone has their own path to take and everyone has their own life’s…
Gosh…. Where did this year go? I mean we are in our eleventh month already and soon it will be, kids’ singing ‘jingle bells’, as we usher in the Christmas season for the Christians and Holidays for the non-Christian’s. I want us to interrogate, synthesize, demystify and analyze what we have done with the time allotted to us? Who we have served? What we have…
Beautiful September is nearly galloping away into a new month; although we would wish to forget the tragic events that took place on this ninth month- we just cannot- we must remember yesteryear.

Isn’t it so amazing…. To be living in our day and age-where so much abounds from sumptuous food, healthy living, real time technology, tones of entertainment and the overall improved standard of living for many nationals of the world- compared to a millennia or even a decade ago!

Picture this, you are having an awesome discussion at the workplace and then your male colleague says something, who deadens and changes the whole entire work atmosphere. Dude, ”what did you just say”, you think out loud? You have just offended the lady folk in the room. Or you’re just hanging out relaxing with your ‘babe’, she’s happy, smiling and into the conversation until you…
The world has just celebrated and commemorated International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8. We ought to truly appreciate the grandiose transformation, affirmation and reformation of the global village as pertains to gender roles and human rights. Truly, more than ever women are now nearly at par or more so than the next Tom, Dick and Harry in your local pub! They are the leaders…
I like many of you who have gone to school either formally or informally may agree that there is such a person as an “educated fool”, which means that you are too stuck up on being a graduate that you look down upon someone else who is doing their own business and not on a company’s monthly payroll unlike yourself. Herein lies the fallacy that…
What is your favourite hobby? Where is your best place to chill and hang out? If I ever wanted to urgently find you where would this be? The good word teaches that ‘where your treasure is, there will your heart be also’. Is this correct? Do we need to think and reflect deeply on these ancient words of Yore? Which of you would be found…
