Today I was busy with my shughuli when I bumped into a old crush of mine from primary school kwa supa. What struck me was how she had changed into a mathee, see we were born in the same small town, nursery, primary schooled together different high schools then from there moved to the city. She remained behind went to college there, got a job there, married and had kids there in the same town the same environment that is all she knows. Her world view revolves around that small town na wakikuyu walisema bila kutembea unafikiri your mom is the best cook. Anyone here who has experienced such, everything in the same town or village.
born city kama mimi ataenda wapi?
Ha ha, same situation here. My birth certificate reads I was born at Pumwani maternity hospital. See am down to earth, I don’t talk of Kitisuru and I live in Dandora.

If I had my way I’ll be back in my birthplace town.
I have cousins who were born in the same locality, they attended Primary and Secondary school huko huko tu. They went to the local Teachers College, graduated and got jobs in the local schools, married fellow teachers from the local schools. In short all their lives revolve around where they were born. When I at times meet with them na si kwa ubaya I can’t sit around them for long. Zile vitu wanafikiria na kuamini ustake jua.
