  Of Fountain Pens What can we say about the devices that enable us write? Ca n they write a story of their own? These are the questions that plagued my 10 year old mind. It was the year ( You'd be able to calculate my age, Let me hide) . In class 5. I was in a day primary school where, I presume like in many other schools, progressing in class meant progress in one facet that is king in the world of learning. The white missionaries who harboured selfish and ulterior motives under the guise of spreading the gospel outright proclaimed the 3R’s: Reading, wRiting and Rithmetic. I’m talking about writing. If writing is king, then reading is queen. And rithmetic is the king’s side-dish. Sorry for that inappropriate TMI. I can’t remember the day I first wrote anything. However, I have parents who filed every exercise book and school report from 1994.  My father has been filing KCPE and KCSE results newspapers. I’m talking about the newspapers that show results of the national exams....

  GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

  There are many complex and even long rituals and ceremonies associated with death, however, circumstances surrounding the death of a person, age, sex and social status of the dead were the most important factors that dictated these death rituals and ceremonies in the past. The tradition is that from the time when death is announced, old people gather at the homestead for wake keeping. During this time all the members of the village present a certain amount of money which vary from one village to the other. These contributions were mandatory, since records of all the contributors were kept and it was for everyone on the wake keeping exercise to cater for their needs. It was also noted that the homestead, and especially where the wake-keepers were gathered, fire was lit to prevent darkness from instilling fear into the people performing the wake keeping. Food stuffs, water and firewood were brought by the villages, in turns from the day; death occurred until the day the...

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.  The next week the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5.00 am for an early morning business flight to Mombasa. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5.00 am." The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9.00am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woken him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. It said 'It is 5.00am; wake up

A white man and a Swahili man are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The white man is thinking that the Swahili people are so dumb and that he can get one over on them easily so he asks the Swahili to play a fun game.  The swahili man is tired and j wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The white fellow persists and says the game is very interesting. "I'll ask you a question and if you don't know the answer you pay me only KES 100. You ask me one and if I don't know the answer I will give you 100 USD". This catches the Swahili man's attention and to keep the white quiet he agrees to play the game. The white asks the question, "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?" The swahili doesn't say a word reaches in his pocket pulls KES 500 and hands to the White. Now it is the Swahili's turn. He asks the White, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"  The...
