The dead age of Chivalry

She towered over me with an earnest look in her eyes, as I sat in the crowded 380 bus from Thamesmead. From time to time, she’d hurl a quick glance my way, hold it for a few seconds, and then retreat. Shifting her weight from one leg and now to the other and pushing the [...]

Publish it in your Blog!

                                           
Lets see if the power of the Blogs and circulation can change something and bring to justice the assailant of our American friend Jackie Danicki. “If you’re in London, Jackie Danicki could use your help with a photo identification”….
I have witnessed some roughness whilst on London Transport on several occassions, though I was lucky enough not [...]

But to be honest I don’t exactly know what things to write here or what sorts of character traits constitute to weirdness in [...]

Social gatherings – a bore!

I think have become very boring lately. With work and studies taking up most of my time my social life has dwindled, and my circle of friends died out except fro the very loyal Three whom i’ve lived with for years. I no longer find any special pleasure in idle conversations and social gatherings that [...]

Spare the Rod Spoil the Child

I remember being beaten black and blue and humiliated in front of visitors or passer-by’s. At time’s I’d wished the ground beneath my feet would swallow me instead of having to put up with such extreme forms of punishment, and at times I thought it better to be beaten senseless so it ends at once [...]

Pudsey comes to School

Despite commanding them to be silent, the silent murmur could still be heard from the back of the classroom, as I stand in for a teacher. I start to direct the children to open up the page in their textbooks, but they sit starring at me, then suddenly en masse, they break in laughter – [...]

Lost in Translation

Translating from English to Somali and vice versa is, in my opinion, one of the hardest things in the language. One English word could be described in several ways and often very long sentences would translate into one word of English. Despite that though, and of course English being a very beautiful language itself, I still [...]

Eavesdropping…

Do other people’s conversations absorb you at times or is it just me? There’s something about the conversations other people, usually commuters, have on the phone that make you want to listen to the other side of the story. I always am intrigued by what the person on the other side is saying, especially when [...]

What a Travesty of Justice…

So Nick Griffin is acquitted of inciting racial hatred! Great! The leader of the far-right BNP, who was secretly filmed in 2004 attacking Muslims, was acquitted of inciting racial hatred yesterday by the court. Wasn’t it only the day before when Rahman was charged with the same offence for carrying a placard that said “Behead those [...]

No Coloured Need Apply!

 Imagine seeing that sign (above) on the doors of shops and recruitment agencies today!

These days most young black youths are enticed by the life of luxury, women, and self-indulgence – a life marked by trivialities and an intellectual cul-de-sac where they try to imitate the lives of the gangster rappers who accentuate a life of [...]

All Eyes to me…

Glances are the heavy artillery of flirt. Everything can be conveyed in one look, but that look cannot be quoted word for word”
I read this quote from a book and I think it was translated from Ovid, The Art of Love, though am not too sure. but this quote strikes true in all cases. [...]

The Lost Pariah…Part II

Jim left the house and sauntered along the road with one aim – to get as far away as possible from his aunt. His breath came in heavy pants of cold air, which came out his nostrils as smoke. His head spiralled out of control with lingering doubts and uncertainties. But amid the cold and [...]
