MY FIRST “NAIROBI JAVA HOUSE “EXPERIENCE

#OUT & ABOUT

A fortnight ago on a Friday evening, I got invited by my dear brother for an evening chat and catch-up time. In Capital Centre Mall along the busy Mombasa Road, you’ll find Nairobi Java House. It was quite easy for us to drive from South-B, where my bro lives and use the back gate and we got a great parking spot.

As you enter the well-designed Java House, the mouthwatering scent hits your nose, and your eyes feast on the delicious cakes on display and yes, the great African artwork on the walls are never amiss for the eagle eye.

The place was abuzz and full of life with customers and the waitress was at our table as soon as we had sat. She brought the menu humbly and being new, I let my big brother make the choice and he went for one that did not disappoint.

We went with the life-changing mocha double for two and I have to admit that was the most exciting thing that had gone through my food pipe in a long time.

That was the ultimate remedy for a communication student like me after a hot, sticky and exhausting long day. It was warm and thick and it just went ahead to spark a great revolution down my throat into my tummy.

Mmhh… and sticking to sweet stuff; why don’t you try Java’s Milkshakes the next time you plan to visit. The recipe is their very own in-house and homemade specially for you-all natural ice cream.

And plus, what do you have to lose when Java is offering their celebrated milkshake in a  range of flavors including vanilla, banana, strawberry, chocolate, espresso, mocha, vanilla, pineapple and mango. Yummy!

EASY TAXI APP SET TO DIGITALISE NAIROBI TAXI WORLD

#EASY TAXI

This is a small cut from the Diary of a Taxi Driver series: “I have been swerving potholes and drunkards on these roads for the last ten years and witnessed scenes etched forever in my memory. Last night, a girl fell flat on her face and managed to laugh as she picked herself up and left her dignity in the puddles. She straightened her muddled dress and tried to balance on unbelievably high heels. She looked like those newborn giraffe calves learning to walk and you had to admire her ambition.

I’m sitting in traffic, drumming to Ken Wa Maria and chuckle when I get flashbacks of these funny incidents. Many customers using the Easy Taxi App means that I get jobs regularly and nearby my parking spot. It’s a win-win situation. It hasn’t stopped the strange happenings on these streets though…”

Nairobi is unpredictable right? Well, we all have our plan-B and most of the time it is that cab guy during those matatu strikes, rain-induced traffic jams, fate nights or even at the grocers, or a night out with your boys or girls.

Well, let’s just say your cab guy is your wing man- your Robin Hood in a Batman story. Well, but Nairobi, at times dubbed ‘Nairobbery’; it is hard to trust someone and hence finding that loyal and reliable can guy ain’t that easy.

Well, a new company that started in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2012 is here with the solution. Easy Taxi is the world’s largest booking app and I snow available in Nairobi Kenya.

This app is quite intuitive and easy to use. It is available for Android, Ios, Windows and Blackberry 10 phones and there is also a web application you can use.

Picture this: an app that tracks your location through GPS; scans around for a taxi that is available near you and assigns the closest driver possible. Well, if you don’t want that selected choice, one can reject and the driver can also reject you.

And that’s not all- once you select a cab, you receive a notification with the driver’s photo, his mobile number, the type of cab he is driving and the vehicle registration number. You are now free to call each other with specific pick up instructions and aid with navigation. Through Waze and Google Navigation; the cab guy is led to you and can’t get lost.

Nifty right? Well, is it safe I hear you ask? It even gets better. Easy Taxi takes all the cab drivers through a vigorous vetting process to ensure rogues are not involved. Also, in case you hailed a cab and find that you are no longer need it; you can terminate the call out.

A change is definitely looming. With the public transport going digital, Easy Taxi is a great game changer to the market and well I guess Hon. Mututho can relax because having a night out will no longer include “drink driving”.

KHALIGRAPH JONES' “WE BE HAPPENING” ALL STAR REMIX IS 2014 REMIX OF THE YEAR-THERE I HAVE SAID IT!!!

#VIDEO REVIEW

Towards the end of last year, #Dumbala remix was so big; I declared it would be the ‘remix of the year’. Well, last week; Kristoff went ahead and brought together an all-star lineup of ‘superheroes’ in  a rather bizarre way like the superheroes of the Justice League fiction cartoon/movie series.

Khaligraph Jones; Nessa; DJ Joe Mfalme; Frasha; Abbas; Bwana Ngoma and Wyre the lovechild all teamed up for this song- the #we be happening all-star remix.

Being the only female diva mcee on the list; my girl Nessa stood out. Debate has been raging on who killed it with his flow; but that is a debate we leave for you the listeners to discuss on another forum.

Well, i have officially declared this ‘my remix of the year 2014 song’. It now joins on the list that comprises of Wakuu Music Familia featuring Ramzey Siele on the Lazima Watii remix.

The video is well shot. It is an indoor video. The tempo is fast and so are the scenes and this makes a great blend with the video. Quality is high and having DJ Mfalme on the remix was a great marketing strategy.

The transition of different scenes for each artist featured also worked well-pretty well!
