About a month ago, I received a letter from my electricity provider announcing a scheduled interruption for a few hours. Last Monday, that interruption became an unscheduled disruption. After about 7.5 hours, my electricity returned. I’m slowly realising that I took my energy supplies (eg, electricity, gas, water) for granted. Most likely, my feeling of taking such...

Exactly eight years ago, I went to Mombasa. This time alone. I was reluctant to go. I felt that something bad or at least important would happen during my trip. However, my trip seemed better for all people concerned. I suppose that I accepted my fate of what was going to happen. When entering the Arrivals hall, nobody was waiting for me. I made three rounds, while...
