WEDDING COMMITTEES & THE CHARACTERS

The other day a female friend sent me a text message reading that I had been invited to a wedding committee. Actually, she was not really a friend but one of those people who possess your number by mistake. You know, there are those people who shouldn't have your number, but they have it anyway...

UGANDA AND THE NOISY PALS

My friends abducted Kageshi and I, lobbed us into this moving car and before we knew, we were in the middle of nowhere. Speeding in a picturesque road akin to what you watch in the movies that have these beautiful yellow petals littered on it. A clear highway with no meanders or speed bumps or kids...

MEN WHO GO ‘CLUBBING’ AT 55

So last Saturday I was awake for a whole 24 hours. Yes 24. Don't judge me, thank you. Late in the night at those evil hours of 3am when the devil and all his cousins go out of their way to raid and rein havoc to humans, a group of friends and I checked in...

A CANDID TALK – HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR.DRU

AND SHE REACHED FOR A CIGAR!

Nairobi CBD has five designated smoking zones which typically are not women friendly. (Hahaha sounds funny). Yes smoking rarely pays homage to gender or financial muscles. Not even to that slim lady in dripping dreadlocks in the heart of Majengo Slums to the swanky and sophisticated corporate woman who chairs boardroom meetings where her gender...

ISN’T SHE A WIFE MATERIAL?

You met her accidentally on your maiden evening class while you searched for a vacant seat in that stuffy class. You found one next to this lady whom you gave a genial smile and which she responded cheekily. Your friendship was conceived almost immediately starting off as just ordinary desk mates. This was the case...

OF TUMMIES AND THE STRUGGLE

A few weeks ago I posted a photo on social media which apparently exposed my bulging tummy. How I hate tummies. Interestingly, my sweet Niece Whatsapped ‘hurling words’ at me demanding to know why an uncle should be gaining weight when everybody else is burning hours in the gym cutting weight! Well well well! That...

DOWRY DAY IN EMBU

D-day will finally be here. Culminating a series of family and friends meetings all for the sake of ensuring this day turns out to be a success. As I've said previously in this blog, as weddings are huge to ladies so are dowry occasions to men. A man who goes ahead to pay dowry, is...

WHAT LIFE MEANS FOR A BACHELOR

You are 27. Sitting pretty on a six-figure salary bracket.

HER CHARMNESS IS UNBOWED BY A LIFE’S LOATHE

She is 21. Beautiful, intelligent, confident, charming and sweet. Her alluring face, skillfully personality and time, has concealed what she has gone through in life. A life summed by four words. Sadness, fear and denied freedom. From a distance, you may be forgiven to assume she's one of those PYT(Pretty Young Things) from campus who...
