Of Sullen Faces and fake smiles

Somebody once said that the world belongs to those who rise early;they get to enjoy life's great treasures such as sunrise besides being on time for their various activities.Recently i got a chance to enjoy this rare 
opportunity of Sunrise reflection on Paris La Seine River.I never would dispute when they say Paris is the City of Love(Lights)or whatever people think it is,but such breathtaking scenarios are worth an eye.

One would be tempted to think that with such a beautiful start of the day,Parisians are one happy people;for the 3 years that i have been here,i have adopted part of the Unique French culture.I love cheese,especially goat cheese and i now take coffee after every meal.I have also taken to the culture of faking smiles,even when am sulking at being walked on.I have also learnt to keep mum in the subway & underground in the morning.I have learnt to not even sneeze or cough;i have learnt not to attract attention of any kind;because i cannot keep up with raging insults from a poor fatigue soul,who is in a hurry to catch his train,to avoid the famous French strikes,to avoid the wrath of a boss for being late.The City of Love looks like a City of 'Anger' in the morning.But you had better take it as it is;of sullen faces and fake smiles!!
Bonne journée à toutes et tous

The Kenyan Diaspora Has Been Trivialized And Treated As A Side-line

I am writing this as I try to overcome the shock I got a few weeks ago after learning that the Diaspora desk had been ‘reduced and fitted in’ with the Digital and New Media in the newly created Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU) whose appointees are an all man team of popular journalists and social bloggers. Being a woman, I should have been more disappointed with the gender misrepresentation since no woman was appointed to the PSCU team (of five men), even when the constitution is black and white on the one third gender rule.   It seems that women empowerment is not an issue of concern to the Presidency, and as a result, for the next five years, women will stay away from a platform that would’ve allowed them to air their issues, despite their significant media, communications and public relations presence. But what shocked me most was the appointment of one Denis Itumbi as the Director of Digital, New Media and Diaspora affairs. I have no issues with him an

Before You Relocate.....You May Have To Consider.

Lately,there are rising cases of young Kenyans seeking any possible way to relocate abroad citing economic problems and lack of opportunities in the country. This is coming at a time when the US is working on its immigration reforms, which may see the abolishment of the Green card lottery. Many Kenyans see this as a nip in the bud for their hope of living the American dream in the land of opportunity. This need to emigrate is also coming at a time when cases of human rights violations and even death of Kenyan domestic workers in the Middle East are rising. Only yesterday, a Kenyan woman who had been hired as a domestic worker to work in Saudi Arabia was rescued from what is believed to be human trafficking by a Saudi princess.In March last year, a Kenyan woman, Esther Wanjiru Mwikamba, 26, succumbed to death in the United Arab Emirates a month after a brutal beating in a Dubai parking lot.  These are just a few of the many horrible stories that we get to hear every day, and

ArtCaffe is not the problem;neither are the croissants!

Image
So today for the very first time I get to learn about a certain ArtCaffe that is being accused of racism and selective discrimination in Nairobi.  Apparently, ArtCaffe became operational in 2009, and it has since extended to four main branches; Westlands, Gigiri, Junction and Karen. You see, the reason I may be hearing about it for the first time today is because those are not my ‘normal visit/frequented’ places! Perhaps if it was about Paul’s Cookie Man’s Bakery on Tom Mboya Street or the pastry shop at the Nairobi Naivasha stage, I’d be well conversant! For the few times I have been to the Village Market, I do not remember taking any drink or snack there.  Not that I do not love pastry; I always have to resist myself from taking a croissant from one of ‘the state-of-art’ bakeries here in Paris. A simple butter croissant goes for a cool 1 or 2 euros! Now imagine if I took two daily!   But what amazes me is that, I haven’t at any given time been refused the pleasur
