On another episode of: things that never happened, or did they? Saturday or Sunday, many many many moons ago. I used to go to the bafu na towel pekee always wondering how women always walked around in skirts. So after showering it was free mode mpaka kejani. Kwa buloti, it was a communal bathroom so you had to carry your bucket. Na ukipata mtu yuko ndani, unapanga laini. On this particular day nilikuwa nimechemsha maji niko ready kuingia kwa bafu, jirani beat me to the bathroom by seconds. I left my bucket full of warm water hapo nikiwa frustrated then nikaingia kejani kutime akitoka, naruka ndani. Asubuhi gets chilly so you can't just hang around there waiting ukiwa kifua iko nje, umejifunga towel pekee. Akamaliza nikaskia mlango yake imefunga, nikakimbia bafu fasta fasta maji yangu isipoe, ingepoa ingekuwa balaa. Kumbe she was not yet done, alikua ameacha karai yake na maji hapo ndani arudi kuosha kifuniko. Mimi naye nokatoa hio basin nje nikaingia kwa bafu, this is not ...

  It was a polite time, and I was having this conversation, with one of my top Gs, Tommie. Not to gas him up or anything, but allow me to be Safaricom just this once, you know, to give credit where its due.  Tommie, he is one of the most creative and crazy ninjas I know. We could be having a conversation and the next second, would find us cracking up, like we lost our own fucking damn minds! Anyway, back to what I was saying, so I was having a conversation after he let me have a peep at a project he was working on. I haven’t been mesmerized by something like I was when I explored his project. To say I was impressed would be an understatement, I was completely blown away. I asked him a question, thousands of you ask me every time something fresh and amazing drops on Letstoriesunfold, “Unapata inspiration wapi?” He hit me with, “ Unajua hii conversation itabore, nikikuambia.” So I let it slide to move forward with the conversation.

Wiki ilikuwa imenitoa mbio mbaya aje, ungedhani design ya hawker na kanjo wa Jiji. Venye ililand Friday jioni, nikajua baaas, naweza pumua kidogo. Nikaingia kwa hao, nikachamgamkia ka shower pale, niskie very nice, clean and fresh. Alafu kutayarisha kitu ya kula pale ju tumbo ilikuwa inaguruma ka lorry ya FH, ikipanda mlima ikiwa imejaa mchanga. Food ikaiva tu hivi na nikajiserve. Design storyteller wenu yuko very clean na ameng’ara, alafu yuko tayari kuchangamkia plate ya food, ogopa. Hii ndio time huwa hautaki wageni kabsaa but hii life bana, no balance, time hautaki kitu ndio inakuja full force. Kabla hata sijauma kijiko hata moja ya food nikasikia knock kwa mlango. Najaribu kuona ka ni next door, but venye knock naisikia haiwezi kuwa kwa neiba. Najaribu kukumbuka ka niliset appointment ya playoffs yeyote leo, naona pia zii. Nikataka kulenga kufungua kabsaa. Design najikaza kuoneshana siko, usitake jua but knocking ikakuwa persistent sana hadi imeanza kuniudhi. Najiuliza tu kim...
