I finally, as an adult of all these years, learnt how to read and enjoy books.

Before this article, dear reader, my head, in the course of reading was like a crowded train station. And for the sake of my Ugandan compatriots, it was like the old taxi park.

Not anymore.

I learnt that to really read and make sense of the beauty that books carry within themselves, we’ve got to immerse ourselves in…

I have heard a few builder friends say that building is a drug. I agree. Laying a brick in the earth is as fulfilling as it is exhausting.

I have been building for as long as I have been an adult. From a home extension project a decade ago as a data analyst/Researcher-for-hire todate.

When to fire your mechanic…

I recently fired Bosco, my mechanic of three years and for that reason, I believe that I am the best person to advise you on when to fire your mechanic.
