Another guest blogger, yaay! >> As usual, today I woke up and dressed for work. And as usual, it was a suit, shirt and tie. But this was different. My attire was all new.I must confess I like new clothes. Normally once I have bought new clothes I want to wear them immediately. This was …
Koona dance
This might be the shortest blog post I ever write but even as I type, I am reeling over the content 😀 It is no secret that I go gaga over great music, even better if the beat makes my knees weak and electrifies my system. These songs don't come very often but when they …
I know who I am
For the past couple of weeks, I have been waking up with different songs in my head,constantly; anything from the 90's to an old hymn. I usually find myself singing or humming for the rest of the day and when my brain is really in overdrive, I question the lyrics word for word. *Do not …
War room

Passion. Pleasure. Pain
It is one year since I made the decision to walk out of what is commonly referred to as ‘gainful employment.’ When I asked google what it meant, this was the response I got. 'Employment situation where the employee receives consistent work and payment from the employer' Never mind that I thought gaining can be in …
On becoming a champion
On November 9th last year,I watched this young lad perform. His song was fairly new and not many people knew it or him for that matter. About a handful of people were singing along while the rest quietly watched or chatted with friend. After his performance, he walked up to me and said "Thank you …
Against all odds
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” A confident 30 something corporate lady walked into the board room at an investment firm. She was one of four short listed candidates for a top job. She was asked several questions among which was the popular, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” She didn’t …
