New Begining
In the beginning was the word and the word was without a machete or sword/ But when we read still slices our hearts through our cords like a convict on his knees calling on his lord/ Whereas, happiness is not given as a constant in the mathematical equation of existence/ Whereas, tears is not inversely proportional to the square root of the ratio between happiness and sadness…/ Also given that, every YES does not necessarily define a new beginning of…

An ODE To The Stubborn – Dr Hakim Elwaer
There comes a time when flowers lose petals A time when the sun makes way for the moon to reign A time when babies become like those who birth them A time for welcome smiles and goodbye hugs Dr Hakim The time has for you for us to pour out our hearts to you.. And you will hear nothing but the truth and Allah is my witness No matter how scary a dream is… A child is not scared to…

The Challenge
In as much as I detest Candy Crush requests I will accept. . . But You sending me a challenge of the ice bucket Makes me wonder if you not suffering from Fracture of the eye socket/ The truth is, from the on set, I knew you would stray from the main goal The moment i heard you talk trash on set/ Celeberties in Europe and America came together for a cause/ To raise funds and awareness about the ALS…

I’ve Been There…!
I see you with hands in chin/ In thoughts deeper than wells of Beijing/ I see you constantly run your fingers through your hair, like you now live in a world whose problems you no longer can bear/ I hear you deep sighing/ Shaking your head and clapping your hands. . .well I know what you’re implying/ That you’ve been to hell and back/ Or that you feel betrayed and no one’s got your back/ Listen, I’ve been there. .…

Reality of Illusion
A samurai with two swords A poet with mean words A prisoner with freedom thoughts A King and his subjects A queen and her maidens A student of knowledge A pregnant nun All searching for the reality beyond time and space Have you ever wondered why Oliver asked for more? Or why you are never satisfied with the iPhone you just bought? Have we ever questioned the illusion we discard and the reality we believe? Like separating wanted and unwanted…

Love Trapped in Hate
Remember when our Relationship was like the game of Tennis/ When love meant nothing When every hello or hi said was enough When I never cared if you had a cold or cough And when you were so comfortable calling the bluff Remember the days you will pass me by like you never cared/ And I would bow down my head in fear rubbing my beard/ Praying upon the moon/ Wishing upon the stars/ That the lord will reveal to…

Pay Attention…!
Like an alcoholic confessing his sins to a toilet bowl I’m ready to let it all out And Run my mouth like Mohammed Ali would run commentary for the Super bowl And Be rest assured that Truth will be told Be it in the scorching afternoon on the streets of UTANGA Or on Obudu mountain’s evening cold I/ Stand before you here as a thief Ready to rob you off the prejudices and misconceptions You hold dear to your heart/…

Death of Blackberry – A Case for Cross Platform Mobile App Development Paradigm
Just like the desktop and web development ecosystem, the mobile application development world is typified with different frameworks for writing native and non-native apps. For the iOS operating systems, there is very limited choice as Apple restricts developers to writing iPhone applications in Objective-C, C, C++ or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine. Apps must be originally written in one of these languages and may only use Documented APIs in a manner prescribed by Apple. Only code…
