Stories from the banking hall

Image
  People out here are angry, really angry. I know this is no way to start a story, but relax it's heading somewhere, I promise. It's a chilly morning and I'm at a bank waiting for my turn to be served, service yao ilikuwa imeanza kusumbua from Monday, but hey, that's a story for another time. I could feel like I was a bit out of place, you know? because the last time I remember I was in a bank was many years ago, when I was on campus, paying for my fees. Mzazi aliniamia bana, alijua ningepata guts, temptations za kukula fee ingekam, ningejua venye ningeilipa. So where was I?  Oh yes, there is this guy who is seated like 2 or three seats away from me, bigger and older than me from the looks of it, looks like a business man, or in lay man terms jamaa wa madeals. After a few minutes waiting, he starts getting impatient, and frustrated so he starts complaining, why is the service taking so long, can't they go a little faster, and so on and so forth.  I'm seated ther...

Rhumba ya Jirani.

 It's 11:18, I'm yet to sleep. 


Earlier, hapo 6 or 7 pm, jirani karibu animalize na Dojo Maber, playing it over and over again, karibu I head over there, knock on their door, and tell them, hata kama ni kupenda wimbo aje, imetosha sasa. 


But ni kama alijua or alisense before niende nimbishie, akachange playlist, akaamua sasa ni ngoma za Sauti Sol back to back. As I'm writing this, ni Insecure by Sauti Sol playing, ma baddies wakising along this part at the top of their voices, 


Chini ya maji, si ni machizi

Twachunguzana kipolisi

And your body is a movie

And I hope you feel the same

But you're insecure (eeeeeh)

Oh my you're insecure (aaaaaah)

Oh my you're insecure (eeeeeh)

And I'm insecure (aaaaaah)




Before like an hour before, nilikuwa niko 50/50, scratch that, nilikuwa nimebakisha kidogo ni gate crush, ju naskia masauti nyororo, niko zile za damn it! 


Si nivuke kwa jirani? 


Kumbe this is how Fomo feels like? Such a nasty, nasty feeling! Inafanya hadi nakaa for a while, deliberating whether or not to go, asking myself questions like huwa unadandia aje houseparty? 


I continued weighing the pros and cons, naona hii si fiti mimi nikienda. Wacha ma young bloods wajibambe, it's their time, alafu can you imagine venye ingekaa awkward? Hii ya Jirani, inakaa house party ya ma rich kids. Alafu house party on a Wednesday? Enyewe we crawled so they can walk. Moments ka hizi ndio zinanishow nimekula salt si mchezo alafu zinanikumbusha a while back in my prime prime, venye tulitwanga life ya house parties na sherehe. 


Venye hio time tulikuwa tunaona life is simple, umesip something something, umemarinate someone someone, you have eaten( hata haujui ulikula aje na saa ngapi), caught a whine if you're lucky and smooth like your favorite storyteller, then later uko incognito mode with someone someone . Can you see how nice it is to be young? 


Hehe, anyway where was I? 


Ooh yes, wacha nione kama ule mwenye tuko talking stage nimsho akuje pahali niko tulaunch, si unajua party of two, nini nini? As I'm heading to take a nights rest, najua kitu ya mwisho nitasikia ni hio Amapiano wameweka.
