THE other day, I am crawling in traffic on Waiyaki Way, Chiromo area, deep in thought. I am deep in thought, thinking about nothing in particular, so I turn my attention to Kempisky across the road.
The pink silhouette looks pretty…pinker; a delicate girl bathing in the six o’clock sunlight. I try to imagine the white...

You Thought, But Were Wrong
Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an
old man walking very slowly and stiffly, with his legs spread apart.
One student said to his friend, “I’m sure that poor old man has Peltry
Syndrome. Those people have a stiff-legged walk just like that.”
The other student said, “No, I don’t...

HER DIARY – Saturday June, 16
“He was acting really strange when we met in the evening. I spent the afternoon with the girls and was a bit late meeting him. I thought it might be that. Or was it?
The bar was really crowded and loud, so I suggested we go somewhere quieter to talk. He was...

“THE-SAME-REASON-WOMEN-CHEAT,” Wahu quipped, gliding her head right to left with each word, in the characteristic wobble unique to girls –and Indians. Wahu is one of two women in our close-knit clan of six buddies. She is a sales executive at a car firm and an unapologetic feminist.

DEAR Bradford,
Yes, I did receive your email…and yes, I was to reply to it, eventually, like I’m doing now. I really don’t get what the fuss is about because you personally wrote, “kindly reply within a week.” It is exactly a week since you sent it, so I’m still on time.
And since your mail was...

DEAR Bradford,
It is just as well you texted, pointing out that a month has gone past since the press conference. You also said you are still alive –and would like to stay that way. That is good to hear.
In fact, when you told me that our roads have attempted to murder you five times in...

IT’S not every day that you get to contradict a clergyman in front of his congregation. Perhaps that’s because it requires guts –and to some degree, a deficiency of wisdom. I’m neither stupid nor brave.
I’m also not a radical, never been. In fact, I am remotely rebellious. Ordinarily, I am the arbiter. So, it was...

MY teacher said a paradox is a contradiction. I don’t question the wisdom of tutors. Neither should you. So yes, ours is a country of great paradoxes.
