English literature- African Short Stories...I found a copy lurking around my parents house and re-read it, remembering those hot January afternoons when we sleepily read 'The Ivory Dancer', 'the Coming of the Dry Season', 'A Civil Peace'...good times.

That sure sounds like Brother Jero right before his jadhbas kept getting more and more hyped. Don't know all the books but I recall the one story from the African short stories book, "The truly Married Woman." Good read! Those were torturous years! mdundo wa highlife?

My swahili teacher on realizing how challenged I was in the subject, nicknamed me 'Mashaka'= wewe dada unamashaka mengi sana. nice memories :) I was in the earlier 8-4-4 bandwagons…I will never forget ‘Mui huwa Mwema’ , because one of the main characters was called Mashaka.

I was searching for info on the Kenyan constitution online and I came across your blog. Super! Ihope you are well. i heard good news about you from Mico sometime last year. Congrats. I am not positive you remember me, but just in case you do... anyway, yes mdundo wa highlife, I am afraid became a permanent part of my vocab post Masaibu. The phrase is just too funny to not have become part of my everyday jargon ;) Hey Ory! I was searching for info on the Kenyan constitution online and I came across your blog. Super!

Highlife being a musical craze in West Africa. I believe in the 70's and early 80's. Where do I collect my prize? ‘Mdundo wa Highlife’ was from Masahibu Ya Ndugu Jero.

Who wrote those stories. And just like Ntwiga, some lines stay with you for life. For some reason, the line "Katika hali ya kuenda down zile steps" from Kisima right before they discover Mwana wa Giningi's body has stuck to date despite the irrelevance!
