Mogadishu Bloodbath

Xudduntii dhulkaygaay
Xaruntii dadkaygaay
Xamareey ma nabad baa?
I am not someone to engage myself in politics for it is often trivial and always biased. Especially when it comes to Somali politics and now, I am but inclined to follow incidents in Somalia as they occur. It has now become another depressing tale. The clouds are darkening over [...]

Well folks…

I have deserted this place for a few days, and though plenty has been happening, still there is nothing interesting to write about. The school is closed and so is university – isn’t it amazing when both your work and studies end on the same day! I have been doing nothing much except for sleeping, [...]

Celebrating Fatherhood – The event

Celebrating Fatherhood

The Reception:

Enormous chandeliers luminously lit the hall as you walked in through the double doors into some lavishly arranged sets of round tables and chairs. The outstretched red carpet beneath your feet, matched by the red seats gave the hall a feel of cosiness and a friendly welcome to the arriving guests. A beautiful [...]

The Wave of Crime

The pavement was spattered with blood. Carefully, I took a few steps further and more blood painted the pavement and fresh drops of blood leaked out a trail. I looked in the direction of the trail and there stood a young boy not older than 17, clutching his arm firmly. A jacket was wrapped around [...]

There is more to people than meets the eye

The double-doors slid wide open as I approached them, welcoming me into the cool and pleasant atmosphere of the large store. I was in an excited mood, pushing my trolley and the list of things to buy had merely been fetched by my brain, when I notice that the security guards made themselves clearly visible, [...]

A Letter from heaven

“As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. [...]

Indecent Exposure

“Oi, he’s buff innit!” she exclaimed to her friend, upon which they all giggled. The three girls (probably skiving from school) were just on the threshold of a new era – the alluring era of adolescence! Two of them wore jeans and that I took no notice of, but the third provoked me entirely. As [...]

Delight in Disorder

Paint anything you like! That was the instruction given to the class after handing them each a cardboard, a colour palette and a paintbrush. About 40 minutes later and the entire room was chaotic – newspapers that were meant to protect the tables from the messy paint were all higgledy-piggledy on the floor, books were [...]

Through the eye’s of a child

                                  

An 8-year old child that came to school on his own a few days got a severe scolding from his mother. At the school gates the next morning, his mother stopped me as I walked in and told me about the situation.
 “I shouted at him yesterday so he wouldn’t talk to the teachers, so can you [...]

Of Platonic friends…

My dearest Friend,
There are moments you can’t get back – moments you must treasure and rejoice in their greatness and magnitude while you still have the chance and ability to do so, for soon these moments will be nothing but fading memories filled with regrets and self-condemnation.
The moments I share with you every so often, [...]

Get Involved…

 
You too can make a difference today! If that seems too much, you can atleast support World Aids Day by wearing a ribbon, if not  areal one then atleast a  virtual ribbon.  And if you are very courageous to do so, you can share you story to inspire or strengthen others and offer some words [...]
