I have just survived the annoying morning traffic jam, this one along Thika Road as I made my way to the Nairobi CBD. I was in a Kenya Bus vehicle,not a matatu,when some guy receives a phone call, somewhere around Safari Park Hotel. The guy goes on to tell his caller,” I’m at Pangani,should be in town in a few minutes.”
Hey!This guy was loud, that’s how I heard his conversation. Anyway, we make our to the city, when around Ngara,the guy receives a second call and tells his caller,” I’m in town..I got here ages ago..just doing one or few things then we meet…”
I would like to assume it was the same caller who was being lied to.
Well, it took me back to those days before the mobile phone and the internet when people made dates on Monday to meet on Saturday at 2.00pm outside Kenya Cinema or wherever,the days when people kept their word.
“Bring back the good old days.” Just a thought.
