The other evening, my girlfriend went out to get stuff from the grocery store few blocks away. En route back home, an older man approached her asking if she would kiss him and was willing to give money to get some. Now beyond the anger to the dehumanising or objectifying proposal was pure shock and […]
What’s going on?
So the other day, I was en route home by tube and the lady next to me was reading a magazine. I caught a quick glance at a page which headlined that depression in London was at an all-time high. This got me thinking about the wonderful and great city I’ve been a part of […]

Opposites…
In the last 4 years of my living in London and having a taxi service take me to work on random days, it’s never been with a female driver. Well, it was so a few Fridays ago and I was most amused! She was a lively lady with a bubbly personality who seemed to really […]

The Power of Words…
I was hanging with one of my god-daughters and her friends the other day. Somewhere in the course of their playful and joyful engagement, they got into a little disagreement over something and one of them dismissively called her a cow. It was like a movie because everything immediately went quiet and we all stopped to […]

Full Circle…
There’s something about life that fascinates me. I remember years ago as a freshman, I had my eyes on a girl who I felt was the most beautiful girl in school. The sweetest smile, outgoing personality and awesome figure; I doubt I was the only guy who had a crush on her! The only twist […]

Curiosity…
This morning I was on the tube into work. It was rush hour so pretty packed as you can imagine. Few minutes after getting on board, I noticed a little girl standing in the corner with her mother. She was dressed up for school and had a little croissant in her hand. She ate into […]

Nostalgia must be a part of Envy…
Last week on the morning rush into work, a lady stepped onto the tube at Euston station. She was young, pretty and very radiant; brown hair, slim figure with perfect skin. A fresh graduate, new to the City of London was my first impression; perhaps a receptionist, an intern or a young professional I couldn’t […]

I Want You…
I received a call the other day while at work. It was my goddaughter’s mother. She called to catch up about life and of course, we spoke about her. She had grown up sleeping with her parents but had recently started sleeping alone in her room. Her mom was very happy with this maturity and […]

A Heart for Others…
I can only imagine how buzzing rush hour gets in other cities. From management of the transport service to the ever fluctuating temperament of passengers to the unexpected events that tend to occur; I find these interactions interesting. The other evening, en route home by the tube, 2 people got off at Old Street station. […]

Little Sophie…
I found myself in the back of the bus the other day and sitting next to me was a little girl called Sophie. She was all smiles and full of energy this evening. She told me about her school, her granny she was en route to visit and her younger sister. She didn’t really like […]

A Heart of Service…
I love coffee. An extra hot latte is my usual order and sometimes I have a touch of caramel or hazelnut with it. I particularly like Costa Coffee. For some reason, I appreciate their level of service and customer care and can proudly say I’ve never really had any issues with them. Probably this is […]

After the Pain, comes the Pleasure…
I grew up curious and at a young age started grasping the concept of life being more than what we see and touch each day. This unique sense was an added bonus when dealing with the world as I better perceived people and events. I feel fortunate to have dated a few women over the […]

The Dark side of Love…
I remember I was chatting with a colleague at my firm’s Christmas party last year. We traded stories about life, recent changes in our personal lives and general plans for the future. Of course we spoke about relationships; the good, bad and ugly of it because that’s what grown folks tend to talk about! I […]

Thoughts on Attraction…
The story of Adam and Eve teaches us that there’s a man in every woman and there’s a woman in every man. Furthermore, when a man is content and at peace with himself….he is able to realise this. He will see himself clearly in a lady….based on knowledge and experience. Loving her is then easy […]
