News Cafe’s Good Old Traditional Breakfast
About a fortnight ago, there was a fire at Sarit Center. I wasn’t anywhere close to the mall at the time but you bet I had questions! So when a friend recently suggested I meet them for breakfast at News Cafe, Sarit Center, I (did the totally Kenyan thing gave in to curiosity and ran […]

Taking Stock 2.19
The first quarter of the year is gone and to be honest, I don’t know how I feel about that yet. So much happened in it, so much good, some ugly and some downright crazy and no, I am not about to say we live and we learn (even though we do). Currently 7 […]

Brunching At Big Square
There is this terrible saying, a bad clock is right twice a day and I think the same can be said for me; if you wait long enough, I’ll be on time, like I was this Saturday! This past weekend, we had a team lunch and guess who was early? Me! Well, technically, I was […]

A Shooter’s Shot
It’s about half past two in the afternoon. After seating down at Kaldis, I unplug my earphones; I have just spotted a power source. My phone is threatening to die on me any minute now and that socket is the proverbial oasis in the desert. I have just taken out a book that I intend […]
