Irreversible errors!

Sometime back I deleted my blog by accident. No one could use the id, yet I could not recover any of my work, I had a lot of things in there. That really hurt. I'm giving blogging yet another chance from this moment on! I hope you get something you can identify with.

Snow, a pure reflection of life’s realities!

At first it blew about, wondering around like a stranded plane. Then I thought it was indeed some kind of lost wind that would eventually disappear. But bit by bit, it rested down, building itself into something. It seemed like each flake knew just where it fitted most. Early this morning, I reluctantly looked thru the window and lo, it was a sinless world. What could be as white as snow? Later on, I stepped off my door and yes, I could easily count how many people had passed by my street, let alone concretely suspect which house had the most cats around. I was not very sure of when the snow would rest its case. But as I kept counting the dotted footsteps along the street, I became surer of the old Chinese saying, that a person who walks on snow can never hide his footprints behind him. Yes, this came clearer than anything else. I thought of many things: I thought of the plain white snow that had rested on my door step, I felt bad to step on it; I'd spoil the beauty. It was so spo...

THE CHILDREN, we all have a song!

If they had danced before the blind, sang before the deaf or talked to the dumb, I am sure one of them would personally have had a bigger story to tell. Well, like someone once said, those who love music will always find a song to sing, or something to sing about. Hugging, watching and listening to the Watoto sing this week provoked many thoughts in my mind, but one that has kept on is the one you find here. They came; they narrated, danced and sang their hearts out. Surprisingly, like any other concert, these children’s musical starts as an excitement. It falls with a boom of the African traditional drum beat. It then meanders its way out like a river seeking its way into an ocean. And as the rhythm rises, it mounts itself on the tone of its own narrative. But it reaches a moment in time when it stops being a concert and for a life-time your heart will sing of something bigger, and perhaps forever...the King they sing about! And yes, it is the reason they sing and dance, the rea...

BUILDING THE NATION

-
(This is my all time classical, met it when I was eleven, todate it feels like it was written only a day before today, I hope you enjoy it too). Today I did my share in building the nation. I drove a Permanent Secretary to an important urgent function In fact to a lunch at the Vic. The menu reflected its importance Cold bell beer with small talk, then fried chicken with niceties Wine to fill the hollowness of the laughs Ice-cream to cover the stereotype jokes Coffee to keep the PS awake on return journey. I drove the Permanent Secretary back. He yawned many times in back of the car Then to keep awake, he suddenly asked, did you have any lunch friend? I replied looking straight ahead and secretly smiling at his belated concern that I had not, but was slimming! Upon which he said with a seriousness that amused more than annoyed me, Mwanainchi (Civilian) , I too had none! I attended to matters of state. Highly delicate diplomatic duties you know, and friend, it goes against my grain, Caus...
