    Better a thousand times careful than once dead
    I have always pondered and mercilessly scratched my near balding head on why and how shooting incidences occur in some countries. There are countless times where we have read in the newspapers and watched over our television sets and the internet of such things happening and in spite of doing small

    One hour of terror inside a daladala
    Should I ever get bored of writing and want to try something different, I think I will venture into film production and confine myself in making them in daladalas. If it wasn’t my love for these NOKIA small phones with torches in the front, I would probably have already started making movies or

    In time of test, family is best
    A good family is that eats together, so the saying says…true or false,I will leave that to you. Personally I believe that in the edigle sense and I am sure many of you concur with my theory. Today I want to share with you an idle theory that goes hand in hand with that other one. EATING in my

    Life without Google… no way
    Google began in January 1996, as a research project by Larry Page, who was soon joined by Sergey Brin, when they were both Ph.D. students at Stanford University in California in the United States of America. They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites

    Saving something for a rainy day...
    With the recent rate of weddings, I think very soon many families will be disjointed, if they haven’t already. I haven’t done a research or anything but I have taken long idle moments to think about it and came up with that conclusion. However, it would be interesting to get someone to do a

    Give people a chance to dream
    Oops I did it again. There must be something about me and forgetfulness when I travel. Last time I travelled I forget one on the most important gadgets of this lifetime – my cell phone. I have been away for the past ten days in Tabora and this time forgot to carry my best friend, my novel. Had

    Should children have a say in what their parents name them?
    I read somewhere that while naming a child in America, or anywhere else in the world is considered a parent's right, one state in Mexico is putting limits on children's names. The state of Chihuahua, which includes Ciudad Juarez, is enforcing strict rules on what parents can name their child, and

    The woes of using the knife and fork
    The knife and fork surely must have been the hardest gadgets for me to have mastered. Owing to the hardships that I underwent learning how to use them and the whole eating etiquette thing, I would say that this western borrowed arrangement has greatly divided the family. Before I go into this

    Those things we were told growing up, can they ever be true?
    It has just occurred to me that I got a raw deal from all the people when were my elders during the time I was growing. During that time I was surrounded by ‘a don’t world’. Don’t do this, don’t do that, this is bad, this shouldn’t he done by a boy so on and so forth. I have waited for the whys,

    I started as early as Standard Seven and I still remember the sweetness of the thrill as though it was only yesterday.

    Bongolanders and their excessive yapping syndrome
    Talking since the beginning of time has been an important component to humans. Talking among other things enables one to get information, a way of airing out one’s views and opinions, can sometimes be a medium of releasing stress and in recent times thanks to some ‘obnoxious’ marketing strategies

    Community policing could turn sour if not acted on now
    It has dawned onto me that road rage is at all time high and that it doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to be a driver to experience this rage. Actually I think rage of many natures are escalating in Bongo and I think there is a serious need for checks and balances in this field before things

    Let’s try and relearn to be human again
    One of my all time movies is Forest Gump. That is a movie that I have watched a number of times and can still watch. I especially love the way Tom Hanks described his love of his life saying that he and Jenny were like ‘peas and carrots’. Kind of reminds me of Jamila and I! I like to think of my

    Caution… crazies approaching, give way
