Live Your Life Two-47

Have you ever had a ride on the Mariamu ? Well, I did once. The experience was pleasant. I was strolling on the main road with my one-year-old baby one evening heading home from a local supermarket. The weather was pretty calm so I decided to walk slowly instead of taking a bus home. It would take me 40 minutes only. "This will be good for my muscles", I thought. It suddenly started to drizzle. Fearing that it would soon pour, I increased my pace and by Grace, the Mariamu came from behind us, and the driver, a male police officer noticed that I was carrying a baby, stopped, and the windshield on the passenger side was lowered. It was a female police officer. They were kind enough to offer us a ride and I hurriedly hopped in with a sigh of relief. They were the only occupants and there was more than enough space for me and my baby. It was warm. They asked if our home was far away and I told them it was a few minutes away. That is when my mind wondered where and how the name Ma...

  Kenya as a developing world provides thousands if not millions of job opportunities in the Construction sector. Many amenities are coming up and the main job provider is Real Estate. But, you have to wake up early and prepare for it. Reach the construction site on time to be assigned work or else you will be sent back home if you are late. If you arrived early but didn’t get selected you may rush to the next site to be selected. Unfortunately, many of the construction sites are always packed with these young and elderly job seekers. It does not require any experience to be selected as a casual worker. And some of the job seekers are graduates in different fields. Surprisingly people who work at  Mjei short form for mjengo get paid more than junior office workers if not the same. Their payments range from 500 – 1500 per day and are paid on weekly basis. If they work from Monday to Sunday the lowest gets paid 3500 Kenya Shillings. This means they get roughly 14,000-...

At that time of your life, you wish people could understand you but they can’t. It is you to figure it out. The moment you look up to someone and as always they let you down. Can’t get used to the disappointment yet it happens again and again. You wish this time round it may be different, shock on you. You have undergone enough and proper character development. You cried till you can’t cry no more. You have waited till you feel your feet are growing roots. If it’s standing your muscles can’t carry your weight anymore. Always receiving blows from the left-right center. It’s like you are playing with life but it’s not playing back. Wake up sister, wake up. See yourself for who you are and others will see you the same. Toss away the disparity for a moment and see what it does to you. Live your life moment after moment and if it’s good, grab it and run. Just be careful your moment not to be a year, five years, or ten years. Make your moment as short as possible from the beginning. Let’s s...

"KAZA KAMBA" literally means tightening the rope. It  is a Swahili saying that implies putting  more effort into whatever we are doing.   What efforts are you making to improve the outcome of any task at hand? What are the results and are you satisfied with them?   Do you live your life?     My efforts are so intense but the outcome is less according to how I feel. Why do I walk in the morning, instead of taking a bus to school; why do I wake up early, only to come and find the door isn’t opened yet; why do I stay at school till it gets dark, yet I could leave at the stated time which is five o’clock in the evening; and why do I wait to pay cheaper transport, yet I can at least manage to pay the expensive ones and remain with nothing even a shilling… All the above have reasons which include; saving money, having free time to practice more on what I learn during the day, planning for the day before I step into class, and so forth. I only need to add ...
