In a wake of the eye..... New York 'the city that never sleeps' is filled with a deafening silence. In Paris the 'city of romance ' even a pin drop could be heard. London & Rome 'the eternal city' is quiet. And Nairobi is still.... Our cities have turned to ghost towns Churches, mosques,  parks,famous  monuments sites, restaurants and stadiums are silent. Mecca is empty!. Disney is not showing its Majic. The busiest places are now hospitals and cemeteries. Famous football leagues, global fashion shows, festivals all put on stand still. Businesses are going online , major meetings cancelled and the line the developed and developing is blurred. Celebrities have stopped celebrations. Our titles and status do not matter right now but what matters is humanity and staying alive. Regardless of some of our multiple nationality cards and citizenship we cannot go outside and our savings are being used  to purchase the bare necessities. Our outdoor cloth...

As we celebrate 50 years of Earth Day..... I ponder over what kind of world we shall leave behind.... In the face of our current uncertain & unprecedented times, what can we do to leave a better impression of our footprint for our future generations ? Health is of utmost priority more than ever right now.....I reflect on my health , the health of those around me and pray for those who are under pain or any grief due to this Covid Pandemic. I also urge everyone to stay indoor as it's only through this that those who are at the front line in the fight can be able to do their job. This Earth Day is not just another day we should remember Earth...but a day to try to make every next day Earth Day.... A day we care, think, respect and be kind to ourselves and the world around us in every way we can To better Earth days to come! ..... To the fight to kick out Covid from our lives.... #stayathome #staysafe   #remembermotherearth

Let’s turn this PANdemic into a CANDOemic Instead of focusing on all the things we CAN’T do right now (travel,attending live physical conferences and going to the gym/ favourite restaurant) focus on what we CAN   do. ✔️ Keep running our online businesses  ✔️ make a difference in people’s lives in whatever way we can. (Today I baked a vanilla cake for my husband because he asked me to bake one as vanilla cakes remind him of His Late Mother and brings back great memories for him. ) ✔️ Focus on solutions instead of barriers, turn our setbacks into opportunities ✔️  stay active and fit. #noexcuses ( I have began indoor work out sessions with Meredith  from Svelte Training and following her workouts is inspiring!) ✔️ Create a routine & Keep working on daily goals even while working from home ✔️ Give back to our community wherever we can  And on that note,  I take a moment to Thank You ... ALL HEROES ON THE FRONT LINE - THANK YOU Tha...

..and not the computer virus that takes over your computer and hacks your details... But a virus that can kill lives !...the world is shaken by Corona Virus better known as Covid- 19. ..... In the midst of this alarming news, the world is confronted with slowing stock markets, global lock downs, countries shutting their borders, increase in sales in hand sanitizers, masks and gloves, governments requesting all to stay indoor,  practise social distancing and stringent  hygiene.  As a curfew is set & more people are self isolating and staying indoor to avoid the curve from increasing,  I am spending all my evenings in my four walls with more time for what I love doing most. Meanwhile as the curfew extends I have organised an online exhibition - details below:  We need something to keep our spirits positive during these uncertain times... Art of Diversity II a planned venue based exhibit that was to take place in March could not happen na...
