Humans are shockingly predictable, which is disappointing for such a complicated piece of machinery. We can claim differences, and in a way we are because people come in all different sizes, shapes, colours and characters, but when you cut into the soul, we are just versions of one another. It is like having a certain brand of phone but available in different colours – even when they do upgrades, the basics remain the same as the aesthetics change. How are your New Year’s resolutions going?

I love village burials. I do not look forward to people’s deaths just so I can attend their burials, but when they happen, as they always do, it is only fair to look for the silver lining in them. The world we live in today, the one of chasing the shilling and constant rat race, dictates that family and friends no longer meet as often as they used to. We rely on social media to catch up, because we have become lazy in even making phone calls.

You could ‘steal’ one, meaning they are already dating someone else, but dating does not render you blind, does it? You might see other people and want to date them.

Now, I don’t like to spill family secrets, but when you’ve got a story this juicy, it practically begs to be told. During our college days, Kamaley who had mastered the art of unhooking bras faster than flipping through textbooks, had just gotten himself a shiny, new Sony Hi-Fi system.

When you live in the West, there’s always that moment that comes in neon, to remind you that you are not home. Forget that you are in the colour minority or even language. It is not when you constantly convert the local currency to Kenya shillings and cringe at how much you are paying for stuff – that, you expect. It is what you do not expect that gets you.
