Perhaps!!

I wonder, is the phenomenon known as true love possible? Is it a facility only available to wealthy westerners as they publicly display this core factor of their society's mechanics or perhaps it is the smile of the woman under her burka? How do you know when it is true or if it is just a pandering to a pre-ordained social construct? Perhaps it is a free fall you should not fight lest it pass you by....sigh.
I blag a lot about the silliness of love and how annoying it is to see those lovey dovey couples on the trains or the smug couples strolling down the street fingers interwined, sometimes complete with their matching dogs!
M and i had a bit of a silly moment today. I had been asked over and i stupidly declined. Sigh. My issue is why i declined...i don't have to be up early tomorrow..bank holiday and all, so what was it? Am i running away from something?

Half of a yellow sun!!

I was delighted to see that today's cardiff metro (and i understand most of the south west and perhaps london) carried the interview of young Nigerian Writer chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, detailing the release of her new book half of a yellow sun. Perhaps the most interesting bit of that interview was where the author declares that Nigerians have stopped believing and hopes her book provides a catalyst for just this. It is true that Nigerians have stopped believing. It is also true that Nigerians have stopped reading as a result of this. Perhaps this anticipated work by a revolutionary such as adichie will ginger Nigeria, Nigerians and indeed the rest of the world into believing in the endless possibilities that is the African continent. click here for more details on Half a yellow sun by chimamanda Adichie.
