Love is ....

It is a beautiful thing this thing we call love. It forms relationships and breaks them in a way. In some way,it is wrong to say love breaks but then again people understand this emotion quite differently.
I am in a matatu.... My colleague and I are heading home after a hard days work,production is really hardworking. Then,at Githurai,a commotion suddenly ensues,this conductor is at it again. Many of you already know how some of these conductors on our roads have the uncanny ability to change the fare amount once inside the vehicle. This was such a case but the lady was not even close to entertaining nonsense.so,as the small man-the conductor is busy demanding that they alight or pay up,she stays put.
By this time,she and the conductor are now engaged in a heated back and forth.
It turns out that this very assertive and loud lady has a male travelling companion who discreetly nudges her as a sign that they alight. Nope! Not this time bro.
She stubbornly insists that they are not going anywhere and they are not adding more money.
Anyway, the man soon alights and leaves the lady/woman still ranting.
By this time I am so proud of the woman.

She must have forgotten her own key,or she did not know where they were going because 20 metres ahead,she alighted too.Total anti-climax I must say.
The two of them, by the way,ended up not taking the money they were being offered by the small conductor and adding more cash to reach their destination am sure.
That is the end of my story, however,in the spirit of love; (I assumed they were a couple),shouldn't the man have stood up to this logical thinking woman? And also, maybe the woman should have alighted when asked very politely I must add by the man?
Love is patient,love is understanding...

Toa uniform wewe!!!

A few years back while in high school,a few of my classmates after returning from a successful outing in coast returned to face charges of a planned exercise of painting Mombasa red.
The thought crossed my mind as I traversed  the streets of Nairobi this morning. I began to momentarily question the saying-if it walks and talks like a duck,then its a duck. Although, I believe that the problem originates from what the definition of a duck is.
These particular group of Kenyans looked like they were on an unholy pilgrimage having been released from a maximum confinement facility.
Were they so dis attached from the real world that they forgot untucked blouses no longer looked cool. Seriously, hopping from one city establishment to another clad in school uniform just portrays the dwindlingvlevel of style you posses.
Boys and girls,in 2016,combining your school uniform with funny hairstyles, cheap bandas and jewellery is wrong.
Heckling and using worn out sheng across the street disturbs us hardworking citizens and robs us our peace. It is worse when done in school uniform.
Your attire does nothing for you, you are a bother and should go home and at least change.then you may sneak and join other misguided individuals on the definition of 'cool and 'fun'.
Is that not the first lesson you learnt,when you first joined school?
"Toa  uniform!".
