it was just out of peer influence but i still remember the pain, the agony and the itchiness i experienced.
i remember back in college ,i was doing music, we used to live like
brothers,our principle was called Dan Mac Charles....i soft spoken luo
who used to give us alot of crazy advice.....we treated him like our big
brother
it was a cool afternoon,and we had finished eating lunch,being a
Friday we used to have practicals in the afternoon and since the whole
college had less than 10 pianos and population was over 30 student's we
used to allow day scholars from far to take the 1st round before day
scholars from around could have a chance and lastly the boarders.
just being a another day,Dan was up in with is funny stories and
some point he spoke about personal hygiene, ........he spoke about
public hair and hairy armpits....jokingly he said " you can find a
gentle man who goes for one year without shaving,tafuta wembe,fweka hio
kichaka" everyone busted into laughter including me....but for sure
since i was born i had never shaved my "down there"......you see in was
born in ushago and my place had no need to shave....all the girls i
"knew " were hairy ...we used to keep hair as a sign of maturity.
....to cut the long story,i went home and bought a razor blade
...actually two sharp ones,brand new....i knew the forest was made up
of "steel wire" and one razor might not be enough.
slowly and sheer precision i started deforestating ...and soon i
was as smooth as a one year old.the Saturday passed without any
drama,Sunday come and went on MORNING...WE,WE, WE,wacha nianze
kujikuna,Ngai,wacha niende kwa stage for a pice,two hands were on guitar
but the lower part of the guitar was on KILLIA...ANG;OA......it was so
itchy i felt like i will run mad.....wacha saa nane ifike and
temperature rose kidogo....i literally went home........i kept
scratching myself until my genitals hurt......
i swear that i missed shule for two days .....the experience was
horrible,i had fever,then nikijikuna huko chini kichwa inasikia mkuno
pia,at one point nilimwagilia mafuta taa thinking kichoma huto
tunywele......then i thought twice.....since then advice za kila
mtu......wacha tu
