WOMEN'S DAY It always feels good to be celebrated. Women are the ones who are mostly celebrated. Never heard of men's day or boy's day only father's day. Women contribute a lot to the society, men also do but our focus is on women. Where something goes wrong, they quickly correct it. Where there is no joy they bring happiness. They are a source of peace and warmth. My mother, Margret Kenyatta, Mother Teresa, Florence Nightingale, Maya Angelou and Malala Yousafzai are some of the influential women on earth.

So Lisa knew that if she cleaned up the room earlier, the tension won't be there and everyone would be happy. And it was so. We alwa...
GOOD FRIDAY Human is to error, so they say. There are always times when we sit down and ask ourselves, "what was I thinking when I did such a thing?" no reasonable answer comes by, we then promise ourselves not to repeat such mistakes again. But somehow we find ourselves repeating the mistakes or we get into worse mistakes. After such mistake some people will condemn themselves over and over, reminding themselves how foolish they have been. Some will just get over their mistakes and move on quickly. The latter know how Good Friday is important to them, while the former may have no idea what this day is all about. I always wondered why the day was called Good and yet I was told that such a great being dead on this day, to me it have been "Bad Friday" if not evil.
