We are caught up in many activities in this age, you could be meeting relatives that you haven't met for a long time while at the same time being introduced to new ones - come to think of it this happens a lot, you could be watching your favourite EPL team play Southampton - which features Victor Wanyama & thats an important game both ways, or you could be held up in the office doing reports or just ensuring that your Cacti graphs are normal, routers & servers CPU processes are normal.
In essence you could don't have time to go to the bus stop to book a 'bus flight'. The bus companies now provide a way of booking online, the most user friendly one being the Modern Coast one.
Instructions are on their website, modern.co.ke modern.co.ke. My colleague Humohrey tells me that you can also book a Mash online but the process isn't as easy as the one provided by Modern Coast which means that if for some reason you are held up & the only option that you have is to book online, your best option is to try Modern Coast, which means more business for them, I think this is one of the good examples that Mr. Omollo - one of my lecturers in my first year at Egerton should include in his notes for IT & National Development.

Baby's first hair cut
According to the Kisii tradition, a baby's first hair is shaved by his / her grandmother. Two months & three weeks after the birth of Joshua, I decided to take him to meet his grandparents to meet this traditional requirement.
It had been necessited by eczema-like symptoms that had failed to heal on the torso. We got advise from several people that recommended a shave. My brother Fred had come to visit my family in the month of September & he reported that his daughter had the same problem when she was a few months old & the solution was to shave the hair.
A few calls from my wife & it was agreed that it was better to have the baby's hair shaved soonest to stop the discomfort that he was experiencing.
On the 15/09/2013, the visit was carried out & the boy got his first shave & was looking very new.
I am coming to understand that regardless of whether you are a a born-town or was born in a rural setup, traditions need to be upheld. There is a lot of importance attached to each of them.
One of the conditions for this particular one is that you need to give the parents gifts, a sign of appreciation.
On a different article, I will write about another aspect of tradition that involves that parents coming to say hi to the baby after birth.
