I LOVE THE DRAMA, I HATE THE LIES

Politics I have nothing against it and I have everything to say about it. The first time I did vote I was all excited about it(maybe cause I went to an embassy to vote), exercising my rights and all that stuff felt so good…but when I think things through two years down the line I know I had no clue of what exactly I was doing. Kenyan elections 2013 ,that’s when I got a bit of insight into the political web. I keep away from any political views ,first cause am no expert and second cause I am not a politician(I don’t talk much ) and third ,cause my mama told me not to get married to a politician.

I may not be Kenyan but my life’s in Kenya and its like home to me…so I had to be concerned when CNN started all sort of rumours about tribal wars.Staying indoors hoping nothing erupts, hearing everyone preach peace as if a war will erupt at any time if the P word wasn’t said!Anxious times,and I blame it all on politics!!

My point of view:

Politics runs the world,no matter how much it’s denied.Everything is a political game, a mind game.It all comes down to how words are put.Words turn into actions,even if those words are based on lies.Politics is a power game,cause once you are at the top ,then you got power over people. Politics= people+ power.

But without politics,this world would be a boring place.The drama that we call poltics gives us something to think about and a bit of entertainment too( I call it a soap opera without all the tears)One more thing,politics keeps us in check, there has to be a leader and followers,and politics provides exactly that!

Boxed in...

" Thinking out of the box, thinking like there's no box "..who cares????? example of wise words that I have ignored a thousand times simply because they are money-making ideas for inspirational gurus fixed on creating bestselling mantras.They give you that "i-can-do-anything" willpower which slowly fades into a "maybe-i-can't-do-that" motto. I am not writing this down to discredit these wise adages or worse still, to count the number of times i have ignored these words .But am writing this because i had the most unusual wake-up call,from one of these bestselling jingles "Think outside the box" Let's hit rewind and go back to a few weeks ago...it was back to class and that feeling of "am-not-ready-for-school" was nagging at me.3 months of internship,and a week to rest( which was recuperation period from tonsils), and now back to school with a project proposal due in a week.Complaining is so easy when you have the ...

19 years later..

The past three weeks of my life have been a dream come true...not because i have stumbled into a load of cash or become a celebrity overnight. I have done nothing that seems out of the ordinary, but this event has and will forever change my life.I have no idea how to put it all in writing cause sometimes it still feels unreal. That dream came when i arrived in the land of a thousand hills,my home country Rwanda! I packed my bags so fast(still in shock).I got on a bus(still in shock)n i saw my home country..still in shock!! It happened so fast and time has gone so fast..after 19 years of being away from a country i can hardly call home,i finally got to see where i was from,its like knowing a part of yourself that you didn't get a chance to live out. I won't deny that i missed home,sometimes it felt( and still does) like i was a foreigner in my own home,everyone speaks the same language that am able to speak but when i try to speak,it sounds so foreign!I...

Totally offside!

It's that time of the world, when the only thing i get about football is the theme song.Frankly speaking, if there were no "waka waka" and "ole ola" i would flush this FIFA business out of my head.I have lived through 6 World Cups, and what do i have to show for my enthusiasm about football? Nothing! Football has never been my cup of tea, and there was a time growing up i remember hating all that hullabaloo that comes with it.You would assume that living with 3 brothers would make me have a soft spot for the game, but it didn't. It made me more indifferent .Thinking of all the cartoon shows i missed all because of a sports update that had to be watched ( probably the best days of my childhood). Despite, my clueless nature about football, i've come a long way with the game..proof of which is my mysterious knowledge of footballers' names even though i don't know how their faces look like! The soccer terminologies,well, it's enough to know...
