Karanja irungu magutas Blog- The Echo

Karanja irungu magutas blog The world moves to fast This world moves too fast... The world has been moving too fast, probably even too fast for some of us to fully comprehend the reason for it. When I was too small to even know whether the earth even ever moved at all,a year took too long to end.. I would write the date ending in the same manner for too long and when the teacher said I had written the year wrongly, I would not understand when the year stopped from being 74 to 75. We had been ending with 74 all along, for almost what seemed like an eternity. In hindsight I wonder why the teacher found it unnecessary to explain why we were all of a sudden changing the date from what we had always known it to be. In the rare event when I found myself in a moving vehicle, the telephone posts along the road together with the vegetation, buildings and any other things alongside them would seem to be traveling backwards at terrific speeds, making the ride ...

In the rare event when I found myself in a moving vehicle, the telephone posts along the road together with the vegetation, buildings and any other things alongside them would seem to be traveling backwards at terrific speeds, making the ride quite spectacular. It never happens anymore. The tractor driver wa...

The decision of German chancellor Angela Markel to shut down several nuclear reactors for maintenance, in view of what has occurred in Japan during the recent earth quake and tsunami, makes some sense but also flies in the face of earlier decisions for Germany to stop relying on nuclear power which her government postponed to the year 2030. The German people have to be congratulated for their behavior since the Second World War, for avoiding wars and other man made disasters. This means they learnt their lesson and were sorry for the role played by their compatriots in causing human suffering especially during the holocaust. Their criticism of the decision to postpone, the shutting down of nuclear reliance forever, shows the resolve of the German public to promote world peace and contribute to the lessening of public suffering. Whereas some nations like Iran have maintained that their nuclear power is meant for peaceful purposes and others like Israel have never confirmed about their...

Mr.. shardrack There were many things i did not like about Mr Shardrack. He used to talk too much and create big issues out of small ones . Even when he had said nothing funny or amusing to anybody he would laugh loudly and start another story about his antics when he was drunk. “I remember one time back home , we had taken two full cups of sham each, then added a few bottles of tusker, man i was walking from one side of the road to another…… singing circumcision songs vigorously” he would say “ You should cut down on sham mister “ i tried to venture “ you know that is the night i swam in bad water by the roadside” he went on Shardrack never ceased to to talk about his crazy drinking escapades, he really liked his brew  than any thing else and his talks were usually sprinkled with politics. he could make good enough analysis of what was happening in the country although not good enough for someone with a degree in agriculture. may be what he did best was to teach mathematics to hi...

When i was working at Kapkatet District hospital towards the end of the year 2007, it started to emerge that it was no longer tenable for someone from the central province of Kenya to be working in those areas.i started experiencing some hostility, even suspicion as the date for the elections in December approached. one day my car was involved in a small accident at Litein town and the people who gathered there were siding with the other driver ,uttering snide and rude remarks about how Kikuyus were not even supposed to be using the local roads and wondering what we were up to anyway and that we should leave before we were pushed out. we were able to sort out the issue with the other driver by pulling him away from the menacing crowd. we finally had to leave early for Christmas and what finally followed after the disputed election is well, history. The crimes committed during and after the elections were horrifying,people were murdered...
