Random Stirrings of The Mind.

Drumming my slender fingers on the cashier counter, I was unconsciously producing a rhythm, each beat rushing after another, pressing and hastening. Staring at the middle-aged cashier with the glamorous gift in one hand and a piece of pink wrapping paper in another, I could not help but sigh. I could feel the look of people tired of the long queue burning the back of my neck. I should have just bought the teddy bear and wrapped it myself. With a fluffy thing like that, any girl would not mind a wrapper’s clumsy state. I felt in my pockets for my car-keys, then quickly picked up the present and settled it on the backseat. In no time, I was making a cute ten mileage on my speedometer on the busy Nakuru-Nairobi highway. A thousand bucks, thirty minutes of wrapping and probably my late arrival were the price of my weekend fling with my beautiful dear one - I ran through all those details in my head. It had been a long day. Driving mechanically, imagining her beaming smile while fat...

A bit of motivation to start your day. Robert Fulghum says, "I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death." Loughran

Badminton is a game of will, maneuverability and the mind. I remember back in high school, my singles Team-mate had a fractured arm string from a previous practice and was really in pain. He was a great player and our team couldn't do without him, but according to the doctor he wasn't expected to play. Our coach, wanted him to sit it out, but he wasn't about to miss the game. His arm was bandaged and all swollen. He was all bandaged up. We were losing badly, and when I got a chance, I walked over and asked him how he felt. He said, "It's excruciating, but I'd rather be playing in pain than sitting on the sidelines watching." God has wonderfully created you to become a beautiful creature, blessed with strength of will and mind, you can't let that setback, that pain, that disappointment, that hurt make you sit on the sidelines of life. You might need to take some time out, doing it like a player. Strapping up what's hurting. Forgiving the pe...

That fleeting moment Remember that first time you met someone; an acquaintance, a friend, a relative even a classmate? Well, people say, that first impression matters. I have always believed that it surely does, but regarding the present, as such, it leaves a lot to be desired of that phrase. A case scenario; friend Has it ever felt good to you being new at any place or an event? Well, you are not alone. But the question has always been, how many of us have made it through that first experience and found a comfort zone in that environment instantly? We have friends and the fact remains that we human beings are social creatures. We survive well in populace. We look up to people of higher scale than ours, for various reasons; motivation, as mentors probably just for pure admiration and to the highest order even worship and praise. Like a life cycle of an insect, we trudge on through life with challenges, experiences and much more humongous  lessons. Some of these experiences m...
