less

stop buying unnecessary things.
toss half your stuff, learn contentedness.
reduce half again.
list 4 essential things in your life,
stop doing non-essential things.
do these essentials first each day, clear distractions
focus on each moment.
let go of attachment to doing, having more.
fall in love with less.

Smile

1. When your boss says - "You have screwed up this module"
Smile - it means "the other modules were good"

2. When your boss says - "I am not going to let you go early today evening"
Smile - It means "you can come late tomorrow"

3. When your boss says - "Do the documentation"
Smile - it means "Relax dude, you've done enough of coding, time to give your brains a break"

4. When your boss says - "You do nothing but just surf the internet"
Smile - it means "Dude, now I know where all that knowledge comes from"

5. When your boss says - "Do you come to office to sleep?"
Smile - It means "hey buddy, why do you stress yourself? Have a good night's
sleep and come to office whenever you wish!"

6 . When your boss says - "
Stop staring at that girl you moron"
Smile - it means "My wife is better than her "

7. When your boss says - "Why does nothing work on your machine?"
Smile - it means "I am thinking I could rather give you my laptop"

8. When your boss says - "Would you stop talking on your
mobile phone?"
Smile - it means "Use the office phone instead"

9. When your boss says - "Why do you keep smiling always?"
Smile - it means "I love the fact that You are spreading the good will"

10. When your boss says - "YOU ARE FIRED"
SLAP HIM IN HIS FACE AND SAY - "I RESIGN"

Deadly Plant

"This plant that we have in our homes and offices is extremely dangerous!
This plant is common in Kenya , Rwanda, Uganda in plant nurseries, many offices and  homes. It is a deadly poison, mainly for the children. It can kill a kid in less than a minute and an adult in 15 minutes. It should be uprooted from gardens and taken out of offices. If touched, one should never touch ones eyes; it can cause partial or permanent blindness. Please alert your buddies.

ANIKI (BRO)

You jumped into the sky
You wanted to fly
But I wondered why
Coz like every army wife
Or soldiers family
I dreaded that call, that letter
The message saying
Your loved one is K.IA
“He gives and takes away…..”

But I brushed the thought aside
Said your looking at the glass
As half empty instead of half full
We were given life to live it
Without risks we’ve missed it
So I let you grab the bull by the horns
And left it in Gods hands
“He gives and takes away…”

We all wondered if you would lift off
Coz flying is more complicated
Than just flapping your wings
But like a natural you took to the sky
Like a bird of prey
And we all couldn’t wait
To look up and say
That’s our boy
“He gives and takes away…”

Dedicated to the bird in our family
You will forever soar in my heart.
Now we celebrate a life well lived.

MY FIRST POEM

I am one
Who believes in prose
For I feel that a poem
Is too limiting in its nature
Despite its brilliance

But I have some friends
Who wont let me be
One is short but his mouth is tall
He is one who will even argue
With death when it comes for him

The other is tall but his brains are short
He begun writing poems yesterday
But today if you meet him
He laughs at me saying
“How many poems have you written”
In a mocking, nagging tone

I tried one day
To communicate with them, to reason with them
That they may understand
My love for prose
And feelings towards poetry
But they barked back at me
As if I had stated something abominable

This has forced me
Not out of my will
But sheer fury
To write my first poem
