Where did you buy your last movie: Welcome to Quest Entertainment..

Its been such a long day..The Boss has today stepped on your toes a hundredtimes, the days sales have gone so down and my unfortunate friends who have an Asian as a boss have received numerous shout outs that nearly made you slap him and say..wacha hio kazi ikae..kwani nini..only that you owe him your monthly salary so its wiser you just eat the humble pie..On your way home the matatu conductor dodgingly flees with your change and coz its already dark you did not have a good view of the matatu...That especially happens with the Makongeni and Juja bound matatus..reminds me there is one that hepad with a cool 460 bob...the worst thing i was from a party and  leave alone remembering the matatu and its conductor, i could not recall ever being in a matatu that day..Talk of being mututhwod..The moment you get into the house you just feel like collapsing on the sofa and screaming out loud..WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY ME.

                           

Then you remember your buddy sambazad you a movie the last time you were together..You slot it into your DVD, laptop or worse off that P3 computer that no one is willing to buy from you..Its movie time..

The movie starts well but Damn..Its a camera copy...Its all blue you cant even know if it was acted at night, during an eclipse or worse off at 12 noon..And before Nicholas Cage finishes off the bad guy or for the ladies before Ashton Kutcher burst to the church to stop the wedding, the screen goes blue..haha..the scratches cant allow, and you cant finish your movie...This takes you back to the first feeling before the movie..Angry, frustrated and bored with these movies..

                                        

Its 9.25 so you turn to the TV..Sorry all stations are airing business news with reports that the dollar did this and this, went up and down,,blah blah blah..By the way you cant even remember the last time you saw a dollar..n not the ones on Lil Wayne and Rick Ross videos, i hear they are all scanned and photocopied...

Art.....Msanii na Sanaa

Today, I want to introduce a topic that is so close to my heart. I don't know why but I just find myself inspired when someone talks about art. If I see you making art, be sure I must speak to you! Note the word 'must' because its like am pulled towards art. It has such energy that you cannot keep away.
When in school, I always admired people who could draw. (You must understand that I cannot draw anything. I usually freak out when my nieces ask me to draw a boy or a girl and the worst is a car.) Maybe its my lack of any artistic talent that makes me feel so pulled toward this topic. However, I am a firm believer in the notion that everyone on this earth is an artist. Being able to organize my thoughts in such writing is art. For scientists, organizing ideas and coming up with an invention is art. For geeks or nerds, whichever you prefer, (I love geeks), assembling a computer or coming up with software is art. I love it all and its art.

Now to the most important part, I want to introduce you to one of the greatest artists in Thika. His name is Denis Muthomi, most call him Denno. I firts saw Denno's work while I was passing by his shop. I immediately went and said hi and just admired his work. His art company is called Q5 CREATIVES and he is located near YMCA in Thika.

According to Denno, Q stands for "kiu" in Swahili, which he notes that Thika has 'kiu' (thirst) for art. On the other hand 5 stands for the handshake. Dennis went to art school at Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts (BIFA). His works range from Paintings, Drawings, Sculptures, Dry material decorations among others. He also does interior design and architectural designs.

I love each and every one of these pieces. His talent is amazing and he does a pretty good job. He can also customize pieces according to the customer's taste. And am mostly proud because he is from Thika, our town, our city. If you love any of these pieces or more importantly would love to get a customized art work, just call Dennis at 0724 026 487. You can also reach him via this blog and we will relay your message.

Its full of talent and beauty.You gotta love Thika.

Skeptic Turned Believer: Beautiful Thika

When I first moved to Thika from Nairobi, I was a little skeptic. Ok, not a little but a lot. I was afraid that my social life would collapse and that I would no longer live an exciting life. Those who have lived in Nairobi know the kind of excitement am talking about. Its sometimes reffered to as the hustle and bustle of the Nairobi city. I knew that things like jumping out of a moving matatu because the conductor is shouting "changamka, changamka" would no longer be possible. All those skills unused, what a waste. Anyway, I knew that Thika was a little more quiet than the capital and my fear was that life would get boring.
Everyone moving from Nairobi to a suburban city has this fear.

However, just a few weeks in and I was totally sold on Thika. It was totally different from Nairobi as expected but in a good way. A way that was unique and nothing like I had expected. It was peaceful and calm with a little twist of fun. I no longer had to wake up at 4 a.m just to get to work at 8. I now could wake up at 7 and be at work promptly. Oh, how I value my sleep. I did not have to push people around for a Matatu and the best part, I only pay 10/= to get to work. You are already sold too!Right??

If not, there is one more thing I liked and still love about Thika, the freshness of the air. Ok, I know sometimes, Bidco decides to pollute the air with a soapy smell but I hardly notice this anymore. There are trees everywhere in town and in the residential areas, it is totally peaceful. Oh, and one more thing, I can never get lost in Thika.

If thats not yet enough for you, just look at the view from my house. These pictures were taken in the morning as I headed to work and am totally sold. Hope you are too.

Beautiful? I know. 

Have yourselves a great Thursday and you gotta love Thika!!
