She is a lady;an endLESS lady!

Jenny was my former schoolmate 10 years ago.The last time i saw her,ten years ago, she was just a cute ambitious teenage girl.She came from a well up family and everybody in the school wished to be in her shoes.
When i met her outside a Perfume shop last week,she seemed to have changed a lot;i could barely recognize her:How fast 10 years can change a lady!
She was wearing a sleeveLESS dress,looking great in her petite figure.As we were catching up about life,i realised that she complained alot;how education had become valueLESS even after having been to the most prestigious Universities,she was still jobLESS.Just then she received a call and i noticed that she had an Iphone,a wireLESS phone.On phone was her sister who wanted to know what to buy for supper.She told her to get a pizza from the supermarket and some Del Monte pineapples for dessert,that way she said,they would just need to put the pizza in the microwave and have their diner.When she was done,she continued with her endLESS complains,this time asserting that cooking had become so tedious a job that she preferred fireLESS cooking;after all fire is dangerous and can burn!She talked about a myriad of broken relationships behind her,by heartLESS men who were nothing but shameLESS bastards.She expressed her wish of staying single till death since all men seemed to have been born one mother.She said that life was so meaningLESS and everyone held a careLESS attitude towards her.Just then,a stern looking boy of about ten passed by us,approached Jenny and pulled her just-above-the knee sleeveLESS dress down.Not knowing what the boy was up to,we only gazed at him,then he looked straight in Jenny's face and said,"Madam,next time look in your dictionary to see the difference between bathroom & city;to go to the bathroom you need such a dress,but to come to the city,you had better be well dressed".He then walked away,to which Jenny removed her remote to open the door to her car which was parked about 200 metres away from where we stood.She sulked at how mannerLESS today's children have become,and briskly got into her car as i gazed,wondering where the hell keyLESS cars are made!

Have a stressLESS day friends

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
