PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

  This Time! The time is always right to do right! These simple but extremely wise words were uttered by Martin Luther King Jnr. Procrastination is the thief of time... Goes the old adage we learned from childhood. Like the sun, moon and the stars... time keeps on rolling and waits for no one. Are there not twelve hours in each day, for man to get his job done?  Jesus impatiently asked this question from His worriedly scared disciples as He prepared to return to Judaea! This time, only if I could have enough time to do this one thing I have always promised myself to do one day! One day is never in the future... One day like time, is always today and every day! Why does it always feel like we have moments in our lives where we miss the entire day unconsciously? Excuse is always our easy exit for our dismal failures every day time probes our consciences? Hello. Time backed by the day, screams at our blatant lies and excuses for our abject failures! I am here with you since the very first

  Nothing Guaranteed! Life… like gambling, is a game of chance. Sometimes you win, and at the worst of times: you keep on losing right down to your grave ! Millions upon millions of books have been written down the memory lane… But it’s as hard as looking for a needle in a haystack… searching for life’s meaning. Life in this world filled with life-giving oxygen is nothing but a theatre of dreams… where different actors give their best from the cradle to the grave! This explains the reasons why as babies, we are more curious than at any stage of our lives. Touching, looking, biting, and even use our tongues to taste anything that looks like food! Nothing defies logic than a curious baby… these guys follow and chase anything that moves. Strange but true! Our degree of fear increases proportionally to the level of the knowledge accumulated over a period of time. The more we know about this life, the more we fear and so is the sharp rise of our anxiety. Anxiety is nothing but a disease of

  Hello Again! One quiet morning, I hurriedly rushed into my bank to fix a little glitch I had in my account. As usual, like we all experience inside these hallowed financial halls... quiet and subdued decorum from the staff and cold stares from the stressed customers. It must be exceedingly difficult for bankers to work and face their almost 90% unhappy clients for plus eight hours every working day! So, there I was minding my business as I joined the queue of the unhappy lot. Suddenly, my eye caught up with a smiling face from the corner of my right eye... Oh, did she just smile at me? I returned her smile with my squinted left eye as our hearts connected in a muted but sweet hello! Wow! I wanted to say... Hello Again! For those of you who don’t know me well. This guy believes in love at all sights! Pikelela is a great believer in free spirits and graciously floating hearts... like decorated butterflies looking for the most attractive colourful landing spots. I a

Whatever It Takes! She woke up one morning feeling kind of sea-sick and her tired feet kind of jet-legged... even though she had never boarded a plane before. How long does it take for a woman and the mother of seven to discover the source for her spiraling mood swings? It had been days since she had been feeling oddly dyspeptic and overcast...But hey, there it is! She jumped to her feet as if she were waking up from the longest dream! Yes, that’s right... I must be pregnant again. This would be her eighth child. Whatever It takes... I am keeping this baby! She said these words with her beautiful and warm smile while caressing her rounded stomach... Incredible. The woman was my mother! It feels so good to know I am the product of her sweet love! She saw my future the first time she felt me move inside her blessed womb… Whatever It takes… I will conduct the legacy of my mother and keep on living... Just like she intended for me to survive! Poor me, I do not know

  Your Smile! A smile is one of the greatest and cheapest attributes every human being everywhere can afford! Enough has been said and written about a smile! Learning to smile needs no formal training at all. It is the heart which triggers waves of butterfly feelings flowing faster than our thoughts, resulting in our brains discharging ecstatic enzymes sizzling within sporadic effervescent bursts! Once this phenomenon is in motion, it is impossible to reverse or attempt to suppress it! A smile is like the drizzling rain echoed by soft beats of irregular raindrops falling from the rooftops. You can do no wrong after a beautiful smile has struck the chords of your heart but smile back! A smile reveals what the heart is feeling, thinking, and needs your face and lips to assimilate that whoopee feeling. I dare say , that it is not possible for the face to fake what the heart is not feeling at any given time! This is why it is easy for your heart to detect deceptive smil
