My girls, Zayaan and Zafira. Fighters and Survivors!!!!

Both fought tooth and nail to be born into this world. Born almost 2 months premature,both have become my fighters. Their tenacity shows especially with Zayaan's personality. She has truly become my strength!!! My nunu punu!!!

Zafira also has a really special place in my heart. My pride!! My child that actually looks a lil like me. It's early to say but she too has a bit of a temper who everday amazes me. 2 months old and fondly kno [...]

Where were you?

I'm a bit pissed off!!! For a few days now, there have been topics about religion and was amazed at the intolerance some of us have towards other peoples religions. It's actually sad that in todays day and age we still have discrimination and hatred based on religion. However, that's not why I'm so angry.

What pisses me off is the lack of Muslim interaction. Somebody is attacking us and where are you? On occasions this week and last week when there were religious debates and Islam was slande [...]

Ok, it's the fasting month and although this has nothing to do with the topic, I just had to throw it in there for effect. So after having Sehri (early morning meal before we start fasting), I go for my morning prayers and my wife and kids oblivious to the fact that I'm not there are sleeping blissfully.

I come home after morning prayers and sit and read a bit and throw in a load of washing. While the washing is going, I pop onto my bedroom and check on my wife ...Fast asleep ... Check on th [...]

So last week my neice has become yet another statistic. Coloured meddie with 1 and a half kids and divorced!!! WTF! I actually thought it was an ok laaitie but guess what,I was wrong , so wrong. When I first found out I was like neh, not N....., he seemed like such a genuine ou. Then the stories started coming out! The abuse, both physical and emotional. I wanted to mess him up because nobody raises a hand for anybody in MY FAMILY!!! That thought passed when wifey calmed me down.

Now this bri [...]

What did I accomplish? what have I done with my life?

Well, I'm married to one of the most wonderful people in the world. I have two really really beautiful kids. I have an okay career, still not sure if thats what I want to do. Still, there seems to be something missing. I don't know what it is but I am getting an innate feeling that there has to be something more that I have to be doing with my life. I don't know what it is but I know it's something.

Recently I have been toying with th [...]

How Now?

What happening to us? It has become evident that the norm is to criticise and ridicule each other. My week started as normal week, I came to and logged on to my favorite hoping to get my daily dose of escapism. That was hardly what I found. I was confronted with what may seem, according to me , the harsh reality that we as colored folk cannot get along.

Admittedly I am not to blame, I jumped right in and got involved in the whole mix. Something that I am not accustomed to. Debati [...]
