Women, we luuuuuurve romance. I am sure you know this because we reward romantic gestures with great generosity, nudge nudge wink wink. UNDERSTANDING WHY WOMEN WANT A ROMANTIC GUY CAN HELP YOU BECOME ONE. Remember people never want a thing, even if they say they do, what people ever want is a particular feeling. We...

Decoding Women …
For woman’s month, this is what I am doing for women (and the men who love them). Generally, men don’t get women. It’s okay because women don’t get men either. Mainly because we really, really, really want to believe that men are complicated. But I digress. Most of you guys aren’t very motivated to understand women...

Turning 30 …
In January, I turned 30. Three-zero. Three decades… From now on, I will raise my hands along with other 30somethings. I’m that much closer to being referred to as ‘of a certain age’. Weird things started coming to mind: The drama series, called 30something, that flighted when I was young… Those people would be my peers now, whereas back then, they were...

Colour of Happiness …
‘Actually,’ Thami stated matter-of-factly, ‘I’d much rather cry in the back of a Rolls Royce Phantom than in the back of a Toyota Tazz, thank you very much,’ while smiling smugly and using her French-manicured fingertips to push the fringe of her Brazilian weave out of her face.

So You Think You’re Modern?
I there, you look kinda familiar, I swear we’ve met before, though I’m not quite sure where.

Oh, I see.” Nou die laas you were Jacob, and now you’re suddenly Mojalefa. Oh, OK. I’ll bet that you...

Live Every Moment Like its Your Last …
You know the cliché ‘live every moment as if it’s your last’? Well what if it’s not a cliché, what if it’s the truth. Because you know what, it is. Stru. Life seriously is that short. Today you’re awake and blessed and tomorrow? Well, you’re still awake and blessed, but just in a different kind of world and total separate mind space. So why not celebrate life as often as...

Ride or Die Kinda Girl?
I need to ask a very serious question: Why is that, when a woman takes it upon herself to be your ride or die chic,(some) men somehow find a way of messing that up? Before I am showered with death stares, please understand I am in no way painting all men with the same brush...

We Are The Neglected Generation
We are the neglected generation. We are a generation born to seekers. We are a generation born to the wrong people at the wrong time; born to people who wanted the sort of ‘more’ which maternity and paternity simply could not afford, could not provide. We are born to parents who wanted careers, who wanted...
