HEARTBREAKING 💔

Pratik Joshi had spent six long years in London, working as a dedicated software engineer and building a better future — not just for himself, but for the family he loved so deeply back in India.

Every day, he dreamed of the moment his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, and their children would join him — a family finally reunited, a new life beginning on foreign soil. After years of navigating paperwork and bureaucracy, the wait was finally over.

Just two days ago, Komi resigned from her job. With hopeful hearts and packed suitcases, they said goodbye to loved ones, hugged their parents tightly, and looked ahead to the next chapter of their lives.

This morning, their hearts full of joy, the family of five boarded Air India flight 171 to London. Pratik took a selfie with his wife and children — smiling, beaming with anticipation — and sent it to their relatives as a final farewell from Indian soil.

But just hours later, joy turned to unspeakable tragedy.

The plane crashed.
Only one person survived.

In mere moments, an entire future — built on love, sacrifice, and hope — was shattered beyond words. A family's dreams turned to ashes in the cruelest twist of fate.

When Patriotism Is Misunderstood: Why the Homa Bay Madaraka Day Turnout Deserves Respect

The turnout at this year’s Madaraka Day celebration in Homa Bay’s Raila Odinga Stadium was nothing short of extraordinary. Thousands thronged the venue. Some even camped overnight, determined not to miss a historic moment. But what should have been seen as a mark of civic pride and unity has instead been met with skepticism, tribal accusations, and cynicism from some quarters.

This bitterness is misplaced—and dangerous.

Let’s be clear: the people of Homa Bay came out not because they were “used” by anyone, but because they are Kenyans. Patriotic, proud, and hungry to be included in national narratives that have too often overlooked them.

For decades, Nyanza has been politically sidelined. Hosting a national day in this region—at a stadium named after one of Kenya’s most enduring political figures—was not just symbolic; it was restorative. It was an affirmation that the people of Nyanza are just as Kenyan as anyone else, and their role in building this country is recognized.

Suggesting that their participation was the result of manipulation insults their intelligence and undermines their agency. Why should other regions be applauded for turning up at national events, but when Luos do the same, it is tribalized or dismissed as blind loyalty?

If we truly believe in national unity, we must accept that all Kenyans—regardless of tribe or political alignment—have a right to engage in national discourse and events. Inclusivity is not a trap. Participation is not betrayal.

Let’s stop seeing every handshake, every warm welcome, and every act of civic pride through the narrow lens of tribe and politics. Homa Bay was not just hosting Madaraka Day—it was reminding the rest of the country that unity starts when we stop questioning each other’s patriotism.
I support the turnout. I applaud the community.

Kenya is bigger than politics. And Madaraka Day is for every Kenyan.

As you wait for God to answer your prayers:

1. Get involved in something productive
2. Start with what is available. It will lead you to what you want
3. Learn to manage what what you have. God can not give you what you can't handle
4. Trust in the process. Shortcuts are short-lived.

SOME MATHEMATICAL INTRIGUES ABOUT 2025

1. 2025, itself, is a PERFECT square:

45² = 2025

2. It is a product of TWO squares, viz:

9² × 5² = 2025.

3. It is the sum of THREE squares, viz:

40² + 20² + 5² = 2025.

4. 2025 is the next PERFECT SQUARE
that comes after the year 1936.

44² = Year 1936
45² = Year 2025

5. It's the sum of cubes of all the
single digits, from 1 to 9. viz:

1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³
+ 8³ + 9³ = 2025.

Year 2025 shall indeed be an interesting year...🤔

Just work hard, no shortcuts

'IF I KNEW'

Part Two
.. "if she eventually finds out that you occupy the entire apartment?" I queried.

"I shall be the one to first let her in at the end before she realizes I own this home. I'll explain to her that I was just trying to gauge her personality type.

"Ok. I said, "Let's see how it goes.

I sent him my warmest wishes.

The fiance arrived a week later.

He introduced himself as an auto mechanic to the woman at first. He kept his business dealings in vehicle spare parts a secret.

The lady advised him that as long as he is doing something that can bring food to his table, the sky will be his starting point with further work.

He then led her to the one room he had designated as his own space.

When the lady arrived, she began to prepare the room for him. She swept and scrubbed the room, bringing life to it. She urged my friend not to be discouraged by his poor beginnings, assuring him that God has not abandoned him. She reminded him that many wealthy men began in this manner before breaking through. And as long as he has a place to sleep, his future seems promising.

My buddy was overjoyed by this lady's acts and words of support.

He later married the lady, and they have three children and are living happily.

'IF I KNEW'

Part One...

I was invited to a friend's house a number of years ago. I was never told why he invited me. He did, however, reassure me that he would like to show me something and speak with me for a short while.

He was a dealer in auto components and was doing very well for himself. He has a great sense of humour and is skilled at making fun of a wide variety of topics.

This ally of mine resided in a cottage with three bedrooms well-equipped with many amenities that might make a home cosy.

When I arrived at his residence, he led me to a room that was empty and said to me,
"My girlfriend will be visiting me the following week.
I will bring her to this room when she arrives and then act as though this is my home. I'll let her know that I share this apartment with another person and give her the impression that this is my personal area of the apartment. I'm in charge of this one room; my neighbour owns the others.

I was fixed on him.

The room was devoid of all appliances, including a fan, radio, air conditioner, and television, with only a small piece of foam with a clothes hanger on the floor.

"Why do you intend to go about doing it that way?" I queried.

He smiled as he turned to face me.

"I am extremely familiar with you. You enjoy pulling jokes on people and situations. I said.
"You are aware that she is visiting me for the first time. I don't want her to think that I'm doing so well for myself as a bachelor. She might think I'm a rich guy if she finds out I own this three-bedroom apartment and live alone. Due to my wealth, she could agree to marry me. I want to act like I'm in need. Let me hear what she has to say about it. I want to sense her response.

"Really?". I exclaimed.

"Nah, yes. To put her to the test. When I'm somebody, I want her to think I'm nobody. I will know she is the one for me if she agrees to marry me under these terms.
But if she declines, I'll know she's not the one for me, "he added.

"But don't you think she will consider you a liar...?
