Che '

The reason I don't ask people questions when visiting their houses is that you end up getting information you don't need.


“Oh, you have a cat?”


Because you have seen a lazy gray cat looking at you with vindictive eyes splayed on a sofa... 


She draws a deep breath.


“Oh, yes. He is called Che Guevara, I got him from Westlands. It was love at first sight. He had been abandoned at drainage when I heard him call me by name. He is 3.5kgs now and a new grandfather. Che has been working hard. Ha ha ha. ”


It should have stopped at, “Oh, yes.”


But now you have to go home wondering whether at 3.5Kgs, that cat is healthy or he needs to start intermittent fasting starting April...  Now July . And why anyone would call a cat Che Guvara. Do Cubans know about this cat? 


Is it Friday where you are?


Be happy.

Major Ariel

Ariel studies Chemistry, but is also a footballer who retired prematurely because of a bad knee. A knee that chose chemistry over football. He is a farmer during long holidays. He keeps chicken and milk his father’s cow on a good day. On a bad day he goes to a nearby dusty arena to play football, to see if his knee could have possibly changed its idea about chemistry. Ten minutes into the  game he becomes a living testimony that his knees were actually meant to stand long hours in the chemistry lab doing tests and mixing chemicals to see colour changes, precipitates and what have you that don’t excite me. He is a vocabulary expert and a story teller. He is a fitness aficionado. He is a brother and a son. I can’t prove that he is a boyfriend but I can prove beyond any limits that in the past 7 days he has eaten chapatti at least thrice.  He's authored   THE FAMILY MAN ,   WHAT I WANT , GRIP REAPER ,  J'S COCUNUTS just to mention a handful. He is a huge...

Half a head

There were thin and bleak sounds, noises that were either real or imaginary. A sound of a wild bird in distress from a far, an owl maybe or a cardinal, accompanied by what sounded like uneasy movement and groaning noises from within. Those unnerving noises that make you believe hell is real and the damned has flung the gates open. He was in the police cell, the cell had huge shelves and guys were sleeping on the floor like they always do. You might have met this somewhere; you might have heard of it from the walls of your sitting room or the streets. It is a tale of this guy Boniface Kimanyano Ayoti, an epic face of crime, larger than life. A guy whose weakness was crime. Anything criminal triggered something in him. Something that not only made him content but also put him in a zone where nothing else could. Even though it can’t tell it all, Bonnie’s face is a tale of crime. Before you hear a word from him you know he’s not been an average human being. He has a swelling just above...

Like a weed in the dark

One thing I've constantly wished for and prayed for so much since I began my parenthood journey is the gift of life to be able to raise my human being . Never in my darkest thoughts have I ever imagined leaving my son behind prematurely. He's been my reason to wake up every single day and work off my @$$ so bad. Having a child is like plucking off a piece of you, a whole half of you and throwing it to the world. You must always keep a steady and sobber eye on it lest it get swallowed by this unforgiving world. May we parents have abundant life. May we never leave our angels prematurely and so may our angels never depart before us.  **** They wanted three names when I was registering for my KCPE. I had two; Lucy Wangeci. I said, “Use ‘Jesus’ as the third name - Lucy Wangeci Jesus.” They said, We can’t! I asked, “Why not?” They said, Because it’s Jesus! I said, “But he’s like our father.” Eventually, I picked another name; Irene.  I grew up in an orphanage where I was given tho...
