You used to dance in the rain? This just reminded me of the one time I did that [when I was similarly young] in definance of any attempts to get me indoors or put on something warm or something. Ended up getting admitted to hospital with pneumonia. That was the end of my dancing-in-the-rain days.

It's been raining at the most awkward hours in Kampala too, and the mess afterward is just the same.
You mean your bosses don't admit excuses like 'it rained'?

The fares thing is oh so true!! as for dancin' in the rain....heehee! I was told you grow taller when you're rained on....lakini all the same the Gods have to take a leak...

At least it is not snow. Once the rains are gone, unless there is poor drainage, that's it. For snow with it staying on forever before thawing is a mess. If it snowed in Nairobi, matatu fairs might quintuple!

i think its cool that our weather for now is cool,despite the lever effects it triggers.last week i read that come 50yrs from now the weather will be much changed to such a degree that there will be anticipation of no rain True story Its been scientifically proven(no fake ideas) so let it rain on you!

I actually miss Nai weather...granted my face once froze into position,but...

I hear you...this weather is not funny. I already have tonsils and my alarm seems to go off a few minutes into my sleep.
I also loved (stil do) walking in the rain.

you cannot be talking about the cold. i'm telling you!! until you have to walk around with an electric blanket and 4 layers of clothing, it's NOT COLD. but the chaos, too true... i hate it when you have to javv and some mean driver speeds past, splashing water on you.

Yeah i second the motion. Rain in Nairobi only in the afterhours.

@samborera

@makanga
Thank you, now I have a backing!!!

You talk about rain and i wanna fly into my house immediately. Being on Thika road will make you want to faint when you think about rain. I trully feel you about the fares.. Just imagine it's one of those days close to end month..and as usual, you only have exact money to last you till pay day...and it rains...fares hiked....

I remember those times that you see the rain and you feel happy about it, or praying it rains profusely the parents will ask you not to go to school.
Now I see rain I feel depressed, its freezing, its depressing, its annoying. Gotta live with it anyways.

Thanks for the love eh!!

When it rains folks forget how to drive..just doesn't make sense!! I love the sound of the rain and when I was younger I used to dance in the rain as well.

Thank you very much for visiting my site. I hope you will come back soon. As for your post, I found it very interesting. Please forgive my ignorance but I must ask. What is it that keeps you from dancing the rain now? What has changed, the rain, or you?

Thanks again for your visit. :-)

@Sue
Oh! I dont wanna imagine...Thanks 4 hittin back!
@naijadude
Heeh! Don't tell u also liked pullin such excuses!Then it was fun now it's depressin coz no matter what u still go 2 work..
@Pricess
Anotha one on the dancin in da rain list! an The sound of rain when one is snugglin in warm undercovers!!
@xavier
Everything! Where are the fields 2 do that careless, besides imagine da horror on my neighbours faces when they see me!

nairobi is like pottasium, just add water...

egm, if it snowed in kenya, all mats would stall. kwanza zile mikebe sisi hupanda.

you guys are talking about cold? visit with me to limuru. in nai, the gods are taking a leak, in limuru, they are cleaning out their freezer. wasee, it rains hailstones...snow if you asked me.

I'M SINGING IN THE RAIN (ATCHOO!) I'M SINGING...

@modoathii
like potassium! Huh!! Funny!

Eeeh!! first of all, some how back...and about Nayi....and rain..i think its the beauty of that place...

But what i remain wonderin is that, it rains in Nayi and even if it doesn`t rain, its not as hot as Africa,....but

There is never green grass at the outskirst of Nayi esp the Mombasa Highway side...waht could the geographical chemistry?

Did you say you heard i was a celeb?....and by the way before i go further,
Are you at Kenyatta Agric and Tech?

@Eddie
JKUAT??? Are u kiddin me?An what am supposed 2 be doing there?
Manze I dont have the brains required there!

DON`T TELL ME YOU ARE MEANIN YOU,YO NOT THAT GD ENOUGH FOR JKUAT...COZ THAT WILL BE A LIE FIRST HAND........

Lady ,...let me hope its not rainin too much that you cannot reach the Cafe.....Missed for about two days you haven`t checked in......How is Nayi by the way....

The most absurd poeple in the whole wide world are those foul mouthed matatu drivers and their makangaz. They increase fares in the slightest of a drizzle as if it just drizzled the benjamins. One day, one day, they will get a taste of their medicine. Kiboko yao iko motoni.

@eddiie
cyber???? but Nai is like hell on loose with rains every mornin & evening!I now have a chest infection!!bt thanks 4 ur concern!!I need it!!
@---Supreme-g.r.e.a.m--
I feel u sana! Yersterday mornin I had to pay double the fare to town just coz it was rainin & th traffic was terrible!!I was real pissed!!

Imagine?...

Imagine a man who is not afraid to kiss you in the rain
A lover who holds you tight as God's tears wash away your pain
Would you care about the neighbors as you smile into his eyes?
Or would lick the raindrops from his lips until he's hypnotized?

I wonder... :-)

i just laugh!!

@Xavier
Lemmi not imagine! That way I will be safe!
@Eddiie
