It was evening and I was walking into Monument underground tube station en route home. At the bottom of the stairs was a small crowd and some commotion. Two guys were having a disagreement or argument about something. I saw one man spit at the other and a right punch to the jaw followed in […]
The Only Difference is Perspective…
A friend of mine once recounted a bird documentary that she had watched on Animal Planet. She passionately drew correlation between these winged vertebrates and human beings as she admired their behaviour and interactions as presented on screen. We discussed this for quiet some time concluding that birds were the prime example of quality relationships, […]

We Are the World…
There’s friction between mother and daughter; she feels her little one disrupted her youthful exuberance, stole her dreams and messed up her beautiful body. There’s resentment between husband and wife; both feel misunderstood, under appreciated and their hearts taken for granted. There’s envy between brothers; their competitiveness sometimes gets the best of them and they […]

Happy Friday…
There was an issue yesterday on the Northern line that caused early morning delays. This created an overly crowded underground with people of different temperaments eagerly trying to get on a carriage. There was a bit of pushing, cursing and friction in this process as it was hot and cramped. Some people were vocal about […]

This World of Ours…
Sometimes, I can’t help but overhear conversations; I’m sure I’m not the only one who can relate to this. You don’t exactly set out to eavesdrop on others but in a public or shared place and with some high decibel voices, one can’t help but hear things! So recently I was on a train out […]

Zebra Crossings…
En route home the other day, I was reminded of road etiquette. I find that over in London, generally speaking, zebra crossings actually give right of way to pedestrians. So motor vehicles usually allow foot shoulders to cross the road when at the zebra stripes. Now I’ve been in other cities or countries where […]

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 […]

A Question of Identity…
The key problem is one of identity. Everything in life can be traced to this. Because this question cannot be answered by many of us…in a clear and definitive way, a lot of the issues we experience exist. The ability to treat this brings clarity to our minds and harnesses our desires. We live deliberately […]

Look but don’t touch…
It’s part of company culture where I’m currently working to celebrate Fridays. The morning is filled with Happy Friday greetings, big smiles and conversations on weekend plans. We also tend to treat ourselves to breakfast out as a reward for a good job over the week. Like is popularly believed, treating yourself right is important for self-confidence! […]

The Two sides of Life…
It’s pretty evident a lot of fine lines exist in life. The critical question is…..are we aware where these lie? More so, are we teaching our seeds the differences between both sides? How to differentiate between truths and facts? Or that perception and reality aren’t really the same? Make them aware fear and faith, love and […]

Similarities, diversity and happiness…
One school of thought suggests that our childhood plays a significant role in our lives as adults. Looking back on mine, I’m grateful for the exposure I had and I believe this keeps me yearning for more today. I write this in reference to places, people and events; the appreciation of diversity. I have travelled […]
