This court, like the systems our world is currently running on does not work as expected. It is more of a ‘playground where we sat so as to compromise on our differences with one clear winner’ who happens to be the teacher’s pet. I could have googled how a court session goes but why bother […]

Things to leave in 2017
I know, I am late. Every self-respecting blogger posted their ‘Welcome 2018 post’ at 00:01 1st January 2018. I did welcome 2018 by being angry at some kids who were lighting up barutis and screaming “EEEEH! EEEEEH!” and laughing right outside my window. I wanted to cross the year in a calming way. You know […]
My dad has seen so many things
I turned out okay…for the most part. When you look at me you wouldn’t think I had a brain that did not work as expected. I can be quite slow sometimes and sometimes I come up with the most genius of ideas. But having such a brain and loving adventure is a brutal partnership. My […]
How to have a Perfect Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day to me has always been like any other day of the week. If it falls on Tuesday, it is just another Tuesday except for when maybe it rains or I miss my lunch.

Reasons I suck at being an adult
I have been an adult for nearly 5 years now. You would think that I should have learnt a few things on how to dress, talk to people and generally not die. I haven’t. You know how you wake up each morning, drag yourself to the shower and do your normal preparations before you face […]

I’m gonna pop some tags Only got twenty dollars in my pocket. Shopping at Gikomba is the only thrift shopping that makes sense. Toi and Adams are just places you pass by with your friends to have an outdoorsy shopping experience. These are places you go to when you want slightly cheap clothes but without […]
Of snake eggs and mushrooms
I have two eyes like every body else difference is mine are broken. Wait, hear me out. I have night blindness; I am short-sighted and allergic to light. I only keep them because they are pretty cute with eye-liner on. Why am I telling you all these? My eyes have let me down more times […]
A Eulogy For My Key Holder
It was 8 months ago when I got you. Waking up, and accompanied by my sister, making my way to Maasai Market. The hot sun almost making me faint ,twice, but being the strong child of the universe that I am, I braved myself. We listlessly passed some stalls selling Key holders but no piece […]
