Regarding the reality of our lives on the continent, I noted in my bio that sometimes we just have to observe our realities through the prism of humour.

Will take a look at it. I take it you're now free of these 'wahalas,' living in the UK. Thank God for your considerate 'Danso.' It is a subject that has began to occupy friends of mine and me quite a bit nowadays--how to positively influence our work culture.

Or rather something similar(minus rumbling stomach LOL), on christmas eve.

You succeeded in transporting me into the Kyere household.<br /><br />I didn't realize the fact until the "bombshell" hit, namely that Kwaku's household wouldn't be getting water that day. I actually started to think of options for Kwaku before I realized that it was only a story.<br /><br />Nice short story bro. Keep it up and one day who knows . . .we could be witnessing a Pulitzer prize winner in the making :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
