Disclaimer

As I continue writing my short i would like to reiterate one thing: All stories I post on this blog are rough drafts and there will have several mistakes either grammatical or otherwise. I will have edited these posts but there is only much you can do editing your work. That is where you come in. Point out those mistakes and I will correct them. 
All characters, events, places and/ or entities are all fictional. Any resemblance to people, places or entities in real life is purely coincidental. 
Now I must get back writing. The second part of the story awaits to be written. Expect it to be posted by Friday.

My Liberal Views

  I like listening to people discuss matters of interest. The topics range from simple personal arguments such as dos and do'nts when dating to sports, business and politics. And as you would expect everyone has and says his opinion. I am a firm believer in the freedom of expression. And as such I listen and respect everyone's view however divergent it may be from my own. That's why it is very disappointing, dangerous and bad precedent for this government to arrest, intimidate and harass journalists and bloggers who incidentally are its harshest critics. For any government to be taken seriously it must respect, listen and protect the rights and freedoms of every citizen including its critics. But that is a story for another day.    All hell breaks loose when politics comes into play. Reason, facts, tolerance ethics and morality, respect and truth are relegated to the back seat; lies, abuse, fiction, radicalism and greed take the center stage. It is quite baffling if you ...

Art of Writing

     If there is something i have come to realize is that writing is something that requires resilience and dedication. Trying to write an 80,000- word manuscript is no small feat. It requires a strong will, sacrifices, patience  and determination. It is easy to give up along the way; only to start again then give up again. In the end you have spent an year writing only five thousands words.      I have come to appreciate what it takes for a book to be published. My experience can be described with two word: procrastination and laziness. Oftentimes i would sit down to write an idea down then a strong urge to continue reading the book i started the previous day or to watch the latest movie. And the thing with writing is that ideas come to you at odd times and need to be put down before they go as quick as they came in the first place. Writing also require people ready to do research in order to produce a product that will appeal to publishers; otherwis...

Where did we go wrong?

                Kenya is a constitutional democracy. Not just a democracy. A democracy that is guided and protected by a constitution. In a democracy, the majority rules. It doesn’t matter if that majority is wrong or corrupt. What that majority decides becomes laws and policies of that country. Whether those laws are oppressive, unethical, immoral or outright wrong. The will of the majority has the way. The minority become subjects of the majority, a segment more seen as dissenting rather than an integral part of the community. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 gave Kenya a democracy that is inclusive with respect for all segments of the society, respect for rule of law and rights and freedoms of people.                 So, it is disheartening to hear political leaders in this country shout in pews, atop mountains and on campaign trail about tyranny of numbers. It is not ...
