CULTURE SHOCKS

    New era, new terror. I guess we are still evolving. some put the blame on advance in technology, others say lack of parental guidance others have no idea what the fuss is all about. Everybody has his/her own understanding on right and wrong, not like in the olden days where fixed principle were applied.
    It is a normal thing to meet men with all sorts of hairstyles, trousers sagging accompanied by weird walking styles.Woman are not left behind, of course its a world of "gender equality." you'll find "us" bleached, wearing clothes that give the unwanted exposure and we justify ourselves with the slogan; "my dress my choice" but I think we should respect our privacies, nowadays we can even extend our backsides and all it takes is an injection.  It is good to put on what makes you feel good but we should put other people into consideration too. Dress to the occasion and be decent.
    Chris went to her fiancee's home to visit the lady's parents. They went together, it was a long time since the women visited her home, so her parents were glad to hear of her coming with someone else. Early in the morning the parents sat outside waiting for their beloved daughter. Soon a car appeared and the host's stood ready to welcome their guests. Chris was the first to come out of the car, the host's eyes grew larger. Chris had strands of long hair, pointing upwards, it was like a bush, his trouser was below the expected limit. He came and greeted the host's, they both stood looking at each other wondering what the man had said. his fiancee came out and her mother blocked her scream by covering her mouth, her daughter wore what looked like torn trousers it made the mother think of the village madman. Soon the neighbour's stubborn son came running happy to see the visitors, he came to Chris and held him from behind and accidentally pulled down his trousers. The poor woman could not handle it anymore, she fainted.

                                               UNDER CONTROL There was once a little girl named Amani. She was born to a clan that was well known for oversleeping. To them oversleeping was a tradition. Most of the clan members knew it was their custom and so they slept even when they had no sleep, they just had to force it. Amani's mother was among the few exceptions. She tried to instill the value of waking up early to all her four children but they were all hard on her advice. After all, almost everybody was sleeping so why would they have bothered. Amani saw some sense in her mother's advice and she tried it. At first it was not that easy. One day she said a different prayer and went to sleep. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early. The next day early in the morning she was up early but still she had a problem; she had nothing to do.  That day at night, she said another different prayer. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early and give her something ni

TECH SHAME     It's good to be conscious of where you are going and by what means you are getting to your destination. I recently experienced an embarrassing situation due to ignorance.      I was tired, I crossed the road of this busy street, almost got ran over. I didn't want to go further so the first matatu that came along, I was in. I sat on the nearest available seat. Next to me was a man probably in his late seventies, he was the talkative type. He asked me if I was going the same destination with him, I nodded in agreement, he kept giving me this curious look, as he was about to make further inquiries, the screen was on and loud sounds emanated from the speakers, at first, this came as a relief but it wasn't. The song being played was full of obscene language and equally obscene visual images, the first time I looked at the screen I literally went blind for some minutes. I vowed to be blind throughout the journey but my old friend would not let me.

                                                             LOVE  Love.this word arouses lots of feelings in people. Back in the days love was a tradition especially in Africa. People used to love one another regardless of the circumstances. There was no need for one to love somebody from the mere fact that they knew them. In those days, the phrase "I love you" was used genuinely. I once had a friend, at the time of this incident am narrating, she was about seventeen years of age. It was valentine season, flowers and those three words were trending. My friend's crush saw this as a nice opportunity, to convince my friend.  He came with his confidence all refreshed and beautiful red and white flowers in hand. We were in the school's play ground when he came and presented the flowers and the three words to her.  Just then, my friend ran towards the direction of the gate, screaming inaudible words.  She took the whole school's attention with
