The scent of jasmine flowers…

My bedroom has quite a decent-sized balcony and I’ve put here a wooden bench that was being eaten by termites in the garden, and a few plants that are low maintenance because I don’t make it a habit to sit here or open the doors everyday. As it is, I’m not blessed with green fingers. Right below the balcony is a jasmine plant that smells wonderful with scents wafting into my bedroom when in bloom. I’m not a very keen ga...

Yes… Bullies are cowards

I can't stand people who bully. I get really angry and upset when my son comes home from school and tells me he got bullied because "he doesn't have a father".

We’d get new clothes to wear to the Gurudwara (temple) a...

Kenyan audiences are being spoiled and wonderfully pampered by Ranee Productions because whatever Ranee Jamal touches turns to gold. I have been to very many concerts in my lifetime, not just in Kenya but abroad, and when I compare the organisation that Ranee gives her audiences in terms of entertainment and an eye for detail, you know that every penny you spend will be worth it.Last weekend I watched Kailash Kher live in concert at the KICC i...
