Free Mason Love

First I think Mexicans are second only to Africans in being religious, Christianwise, and that is a good thing to me. Life requires balance God, family, work. Some are billionaires but have no idea about God which is a very sad thing, some have no money and are very religious, balance is important. Heard of dragons den guys and how they had family family challenges when they were starting their businesses oh! My! Mamas boy Canagie married at over 40 yrs. Isaac, a Bible character at 40yrs. A good preacher man at 40 and his son at 37. Anyways, there is no ISO certified age for marriage, when your ready go! go! go! Heshan De Silva won't marry before 30 but he already has a special one. Bangladesh micro finance father advises young girls to wait. By the way P&G sponsored some programs with their soap brands thereby the name soap aperas? I'll do more research on that. I stumbled on that while researching on Colgate. Where is the Mason? I fortunately or unfortunately t...

CHRISTMAS

Ad Critique We here wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Almost closing 2014 what a year it has been, many lessons therein.  The year that the rest of the world beat Russia again.  Almost an invincible country but there is only one invincible, God the Father of Jesus Christ. That's why Christmas is such a big deal.  Anyway, Adding some Ad Critique 1. Coca cola government as usual advertising Coke great stuff, as an entrepreneur I love coca-cola a lot especially it's origins. 2.  Still on the big boys, Safaricom and their Bonyeza promotion, O.J. gets satirical when he says that after winning a million one doesn't need a wedding committee haha! My thinking is spending  that money on a wedding is not being serious.  3. Visa, yes the Visa card advert reminded me of KCBs lion, I heard that the lion didn't have a smile but was given a smile as an advertisement strategy. To my point that Visa card ad I can't stop thinking that the dude in shad...

AD GOLD

Mombasa has lost (almost), lost it's tourism glory due to insecurity HOWEVER, Kenya still has a lot to offer tourists. Nakuru county is a formidable force to recon with, Masai Mara is also not about to disappoint anytime. With news that Kenya is being aided by Ethiopia on matters security, Israel still our friend the days ahead seem very bright.  GOLD, BACK TO GOLDEN AD 1. Bonyeza, whaaaaat? rugby player can even afford to lose focus of 'the game ' GOLDEN, Whoever is doing these Safaricom ads is on point.  Great work, great creativity. 2. Nairobi Water, hahaaa!! that dude does that ad justice, simple scenario but he makes it look like a big deal, that he is out of water good work. The funniest part for me being where the Guy says flour with vegetables because he has no water to mix with the flour, haha!

A TUSKYS advertisement left me having a lol! moment About a supermarket which had a promotion where after purchase one is offered a prize! Drum rolls!!! tada!! a Biro pen haha! great ad!! The Bonyeza Ad by Safaricom where people are chasing after a chicken thief haha! hilarious. Anyway on Cutest Kid Competition I give this one all stars.

guango yogurt what an ad, good job, I like. Everyone seems to have finished his or hers, so they all are hitting the container so that they can get the last drop, at least some that stuck to the container. Interesting, very interesting. I am currently in a seminar that ends tomorrow which is quickly followed by a fund raiser on Sunday @church seeking to raise $80,000 mmh! one of these days I shall donate busses to institutions. Had a seminar myself shaping some young minds on the importance of deployment as opposed to employment and many other things, I enjoyed every minute of it, mostly our organization sponsored the event as they say, 'we have to be the change we want to see.' Back to ads, Radiant hair products. Where is the applause for this. mmh!! app what??  Great ad but what did that dude pour on himself?? Hope it's not ....

KBL's(Kenya Breweries Limited) ad on excessive drinking is back, just like the one for the cows(KCC). Anti-smoking ad, STOP SMOKING!!, I am told cigarettes are worste than terrorists, kills so many people. I like the wording STOP SMOKING!!, not DO NOT SMOKE!! Lucozade's ad is also a great one full of Hillary, I mean it's hilarious dude running faster than a car great one. it's the season for ads dts -z anti-dehydration mmh! one of the serious ads. hurricane wow! interesting, an average person spends how many years sitting on a toilet seat? I am one of those that use it least often. Some ad I watched about penguins haha!! I didn't think it would be a furniture place ad, hilarious however.

#Thanksgiving

I have said here before that American may put on more make- up than the rest of us but they have surely impacted the world positively in more ways than one. The likes of Rockefeller, Andrew Canagie, Paul Crouch and many others. Unlike any other country having a season called Thanksgiving, that is a great one. Irrespective of it's history and controversy this is a Big Plus. Most people or countries spend the whole year complaining, though some still murmur about the Obama government Thanksgiving sets people on a good mode even one of being blessed. Kudos America, Thanksgiving yo you. Thanksgiving for God for setting up such a nation.

AD CRITIQUE

So the cows, the talking cows are back thanks to KCC I guess they do a good job of advertising then. Bonyeza again this time guys passing on cement bags, mmh! doesn't tickle my fancy like the other Bonyeza ads. It's Christmas season and some are already waiting for the coca-cola ad for this season. Terrorists are not doing Kenya any good in matters marketing but get it from me most affected towns are those with high Islamic populations for genuine and for suspicious reasons, however, there are many beautiful and peaceful towns e.g. Nakuru, Naivasha, Nanyuki, Narok (ESP The Masai Mara) to name but a few.

AD CRITIQUE

AD critique The chicken's prayers don't affect the hawk. That's a Swahili saying, however in the Tamu Tamu bread ad the prayers are answered and their effect lands on the hawk that is the school kid gets to eat his bread. Mmh! Interesting. The TECHNO mobile ad mmh! Almost gave them a photo of a more beautiful girl, anyhow the one in the ad gives her role total justice. Mmh! Like that. We have to get the whole picture. Yes message's home. Safaricom is on Kenya's fortune 5, 50 if 500, I don't know, it's somewhere there at the top. So their ads on a promotion dubbed Bonyeza are quite hilarious. Another one about a dude who is a convict but while the case is ongoing he is not even listening to the precedings but is busy participating in the promotion ... Interesting one Safaricom.

Ad Critique

Karega, Bank of Africa. but do I say Goldinmolo or from Molo #AdCritique Ain't it wonderful to see a former schoolmate doing well. Reminds me of several characters here in Molo who after the post election violence dusted themselves and are now making millions. Prrrrrr! You have been red carded or yellow carded. Ah! Guiness has made you a winner. Thank God I don't drink beer. The surprise on the red and yellow cards. Poor drunkards. Winning surely is not easy.

Very loud silence from me ha! There is not much to say about ads, not much buzz from them. However, one got my attention the Safaricom Bonyeza Ad on a News Anchor who is busy with her phone 'participating in the Competition ', she doesn't want to let it go. The Johnson and Johnsons ad, haha! Oh! That hair.

Ain't it good to know that you don't have to blame anyone for your life, that all you need is to work on YOU and your life will be good. White gold it is so some sensitization was happening in Molo this weekend here. A few weeks ago St. Joseph's nursing home offered a free medical camp here which was attended by the first lady of the county. Over the past few weeks they were on a role, giving free medical services to people from here in Molo all the way to Olenguruone. Great job. So the sensitization was by a large number of people mainly The Youth Banner', Pasha Center here in Molo, Intel, ICT Board Kenya, The Rockefeller Foundation, USAID, yes all those.

Continuing from where I left off, coca-cola. Safaricom is almost the coca-cola of Kenya but not there yet, however with the acquisition of Kasarani the sky is the limit for them. The sponsorship of rugby series jazz international festival, safaricom live concerts, end of year parties, wow! That is BIG. I not long ago asked a friend who plays for a foot ball team in Nakuru who sponsors their team, at some time called top fry. Before he answered I knew it had to be sponsored by a foreigner. He didn't disappoint, their long time sponsor was indeed a foreigner. Why make money after all, is it not to make the world a better place? The likes of 7up have a steep hill to climb if they are to face off with coca-cola in market share competition. I recently topped up 50mb data thanks to Coke Studio collaboration with safaricom. In such campaigns people can help but be loyal to a brand. As I alluded to the story of post election violence that just being one of many cases where people l...

CSR GOLD

People were going on with their usual businesses people had earned money, had invested some spent some and saved some. A story is told of many who had bought expensive cups and kitchen ware which they had stored in their shelves and had not used them. In 1992 the place called is Olenguruone things turned out quite sour. Violence broke out and every man took to his heels and didn't look back till they were sure that the place they were in was safe probably miles away from their original home, which they had spent their hard earned money to build. Miles apart still in Kenya a place called Pokot a friend of mine was being forcefully ejected from 'his home'. But how fast people forget. The other day still in Kenya a sports event was to take place and the organizers had a meeting with the government officials concerned asking for financial assistance the government said they didn't have the money THEN COCA-COLA came to the rescue as they have done many times before, wh...

White Highland's Best Yeah! That the White Highlands Best foot put forward today in pomp and color. I love this place, once I was talking to some students and telling them how lucky they are because at their place it rains after every few hours yet in other places people have to pray and fast so that it rains. So exhibiting were A.D.C., Baraka College, Timsales (you head me right Timsales) among many others. I was fascinated by the technologies on exhibition e.g. different varies of honey, potatoes, Silos and from Timsales a prototype of a prefabricated house (whaaaat!) That's right a prototype of a prefabricated timber house. Have to give these Timsales guys credit, how many companies affect even the climate of an area, this ones have. They have re -planted forests and because of that the rains which are what this 'White Highlands' are known for have been greatly reliable. Saw a Timsales pickup ferrying a rally car, wish them all the best. So Molo's Food Day...

So Kenya's president was in court (ICC), the contrast the president's name is Uhuru which means freedom but the the president was not so free after all mmh! Personally I wish he gets acquitted. Golden Fry, the shortened version can make you have the blonde moments. A child waiting for dad to bring what? Cooking fat! Then you watch the full version and are able to connect the dots. Anyway respect to the guys who coordinate this ADs.

TRUE JIHAD

True Jihad Life is not easy, life is tough but if you are tough on yourself life will be relatively easy on you. Zig Ziglar My friend Paul is one dude with what I can call ruthless work ethic. But I tell you it pays big time. If your eye offends you cut it off, if your hand offends you cut it off .. Jesus To get what we want, most of the times we are forced to stretch ourselves big time. In the Bible some good Guy killed people in the camp that sinned in this age it's worse only difference is we first of all don't kill others we first become tough on ourselves. I watched some guys in some country applying jihad on others yet they themselves were being supported by drug money. Deal with the log in your eye first. If success was easy even failures could have it. If faith worked automatically everyone could have it's results, faith DEMANDS ACTION on what we believe, in speech or in respective action. I am doing some value addition on potatoes right here in this ...

DEADBEAT

Over the weekend some Members of County Assembly fought in a Secondary School during a fundraising event. Give a round of applause to these M.C.As. I almost joined Julie Gichuru to cry, how could they. In a Secondary School surely. Immediately after this was news about some old man in his nineties who participated in the coming up of the national anthem. The old man's story was aired some time ago and 90 thousand shillings the political class was not there, the governor of the area was there as the media station responsible for the story had constructed a house for the old man gave him the house. The problem I find is that of mentors, fathers. I have for some time now checked the family backgrounds of some girls that are causing ripples in the entertainment industry especially for the wrong reasons of posing nude to magazines and getting their breasts and butts extended are really girls who lacked proper upbringing. So as others behold the nude photos, the girls are hurtin...

Wow! Just watched, men who made America, that is a powerful series. Good information is out here for us to get. 1 Billion Gold, Even America doesn't have it, currently. I assert that Americans may wear more make-up than the rest of us but boy Americans have impacted the world greatly. Politically, economically and even in Christianity.... "Porn!" "Hey! Who said that!" Here we say that in a market there doesn't lack a mad man. ...health, financially, personal development, entertainment, scientifically (though my best car is a Tuareg, German) ...(Americans have impacted in many ways.)

#HUMOR Colgate, mmh! Colgate toothbrush good stuff. Colgate Red, how they pulled a runway ad without being SUGGESTIVE, Kudos. Great ad. Some ads have no humor, only serious business. When some guys get broke they sell their sense of humor, all of it. Some ads just have to be serious. KCB home loan, IFAS, Huduma Kenya, mCO-OP, Safaricom's Biashara Smart. AMACO what a serious song, good quality pictures though. Safaricom rugby series adverts not a lot of drama, just straight to the point. I have used olx and I got a good number of calls but I have never sold a thing mostly because of location, 'The White Highlands' of Molo.

Down here is a picture of EAML, East African Malting LTD, I recently was in Narok and to get there I used the Molo - Kericho - Bomet route. Along this route I happened to see such great facilities used to process tea. For your information Kericho is not just beautiful, it is beau-tea-ful. The landscape of the town is covered by tea even hawkers in Kericho town sell tea cuttings, that you can plant. From Kaisugu, Finlay, Unilever among many others that paint the town green. The other day on a local television station highlighted the fact that some of these farms have been planted in the Mau Forest. Politicians .... let's leave them alone, apparently they owe me very little I have a part to play. So Jillian Kyula on a local station @ktnKenya enlightened a lot about 250 out of 450 acres of available arable land for farming in the world is found in Africa. I would just like to see great structures here in Molo that process, not tea but rather potatoes and an assortment of other ...

MEDICAL GOLD

I now highlight medical centers in these area. Every doctor, clinical officer here off-course has a 'side hustle', a clinic or a chemist. With NHIF medical centres are evermore increasing popularity, there are sufficient bonuses expected. Just as a by the way, I am told that if you mess up with the development process of a butterfly it will not be able to fly. This country needs some serious auditing of public coffers $, from the health department to the other of education, roads and so on. Jamhuri Medical Centre Baraka Medical Centre St. Joseph Medical Centre Molo District Hospital A dozen other small clinics. I visited Jamhuri Centre and was amazed to learn that the doctor is available after finishing his duties in Molo District Hospital, the queue by that time is quite long. In Nakuru the hospitals are so many Valley, Nakuru Provincial Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital along Nakuru Gilgil Road, among many others. Nakuru is growing at a high rate. I will highlight...

Rationalizing LOVE II

I am ever amazed at how important things in life get little attention. So when you find beautiful roses in your friends place, do you pick all of them and put them in your pocket? Why should you then marry the first beauty you meet? The first handsome dude you meet? He who finds a wife finds a good thing. One Kenneth Hagin had a chic imposed on him. The chic was a church chic so as you may guess she was a good fine girl. Especially morally. One good day in church the chic didn't show up so Hagin had a vision in which he saw why the chic didn't appear in church. She was committing adultery, when she came back she tried to explain what happened but he cut her short and told her he knew exactly where she was. I don't think matters of love are light matters. I at times don't understand how a couple can get babies, not via infrared, wifi or Bluetooth then later on divorce. Mistakes happen, my partner (business) and I organised an event at the new Greenlands Resourc...

I AM CHRISTIAN SO ON THIS ISSUE I HAVE RESTED ON GOD'S still small voice. I see some dudes in the state of being 'hopelessly in love' and they remind me of me. During my O levels I learned the art of approaching ladies and during the period hormones harassed me proper. Some chic I saw and I thought, boy if I let her go I may never get one of her calibre. At that point is that fact or fiction? So I went to campus and I Daryl Strawberry married several times before finally finding THE ONE. And now #deadbeat Kenya aw!! Haha!! Because you appreciate the beauty of a rose doesn't mean you have to pluck it and have it for yourself. Love is real even one between a man and a woman. To be continued ...

SONGS Life is simply interesting, Kenyan musicians and even Tanzanian musicians feel they have arrived if they spend millions to produce good quality videos in South Africa. I have ZERO problems with that if you want quality go get it. So we go for songs in advertisements. First up Sadoline oh! The song is gooood. Nuru soap? Well some good effort. Camay, not bad. Wait!!! Fit Cereal oh! That was too fast what products were those again? Anyway I think it still serves the purpose in the mall one will be like 'that's the cereal that is advertised on TV'. Haha! Advertising is interesting, you see some detergent was advertised and and in the ad they dissed some other detergent, well not foolishly but very smartly. The result was more sales for the disser. And as you can guess the disee (haha!) Lost clients. Milo's is also good.

Kenya won that tweef, in the mind Kenyans are Golden. Critics say that Kenyans are good policy makers but poor implementers.

KANYAE DIAMOND???

Unconfirmed to me I am told that thugs on a motorbike made away with about 1 million shillings meant for tuition is a 'gold school' here. Apparently, Mary Mount Secondary, instead of taking such a risk I prefer taking business risks. Yes Kanyae West, he says diamonds are forever but are they? I disagree with most 'secular' musicians on many issues and now see . Kanyae has been busted by Goldinmolo doing something good in the name of the above song. Diamonds are long lasting and also beautiful, yes beautiful. The problem with precious stones is that it takes some good effort to make then be in a precious state. Some entrepreneurs will tell you that their journey to success wasn't an easy ride. I have for my part missed some major events in life, but I thank God because it is for a worthy course. I have missed several of my friends weddings, burials, graduations and some similar events but the rugged stones have to become precious stones like diamonds and ...

SEEMING < BEING

Golden record Kenya is synonymous with athletics records especially in long distance racing. I am currently in Narok and I happened to forget to carry my guzzlers fuel connection, that is my smartphones charger. I haven't had of any smartphone battery that lasts long, someone should break that record in that field. Okay in Kenya I believe the most displaced community is the Maasai. Most towns in Kenya have Maasai names meaning they lived there, Molo, Nairobi, Olenguruone among  many others. There is one popular YouTube video that shows Maasai men taking meat from a pride of lions, I just wonder how the same fierce guys have been so displaced in this country. However SEEMING < BEING Narok town is said to have developed over a very short period of time.

Golden ideas

Golden ideas in Molo my problem since I cleared my undergraduate degree at JKUAT in 2012 has been how to add value to agricultural products from Molo. In my walk around Molo I have come around Keringet Seed Foundation an organization seeking to add value to potatoes. Don't know much about them but their primary purpose was to provide quality potato seeds to farmers a very viable product in this sides of Kenya. What they have also ventured into is adding value to potatoes. I am a technology guy however agriculture is the sector that provides most employment. And as rural urban migration increases there is also increased demand for agricultural products. A bag of potatoes is currently going for ksh 1000 from the farm, that translates to little or no return to the farmer. Maybe for the same reason infrastructure in these areas is in almost deplorable condition yet this is the food basket of Kenya and even other East African countries to as far as Rwanda. But there in light in t...

Not in a bad way but coastal people are currently known for BAD things that tourism is at a serious LOW almost an all time LOW. I seriously hope that Hapa Kule News, Real House Wives of Kawangware and other local hilarious productions will be here for long to tickle us more. That just brings me to another point where laughter doesn't always reflect internal jot. Comedians only make people laugh but can't give joy. In such parts of the world people idolize Hollywood actors and actresses however the actors and actresses seem not to have the sense of contentment and seek fulfilment from DRUGS.

So in Salgaa as the road kills many and the ladies continue with their trade 'the oldest profession', 'thought agriculture was' on one side of the town we have Rongai town. What about Rongai?? Rongai has the large (understatement) transport company called just that Rongai, there are large(again understated)  farms growing wheat and maize, others having green houses. Also in Rongai, a great girls school of the calibre of Starehe Boys School, mmh! So some rat tells me that's the problem, the gap between the rich and the poor. NO!! Remember Singapore?

GOLDen Today at 10 am at Greenland Resource Center, can't wait. Salgaa, I am shocked this town is not in the dictionary. Still in Molo, Salgaa is a town almost synonymous with grisly road accidents. I play my part small it might be, I pray, religious leaders I think more on those direction. Salgaa and it's environs has hit the headlines maaany times mainly because of accidents. The town is also infamous because of prostitution which is rampant along most highway towns in Kenya. Some believe that the cause of the accidents is sexual immorality. I believe the important part is as Jesus said we ought to love one another as we love ourselves. I have a problem with single parenthood especially where both parents are alive, I mean why get children you can't be therefore. As it is said children spell love as T I M E, most of these girls on the highway I believe is mainly due to lack of love when they were young.

The most sickening however was cheating in exams. Some Rothschild YouTube video says that money is the God of this world and the Rothschild are his prophets. Haha!

AD CRITIQUE

Woe unto you if you left a Trust AD on TV and came back and found the AD of some soap not soap opera but soap, bathing soap. On that I won't mention names. Lewd, lascivious but do I say. I have been in the streets marketing some seminar and boy is it some work, learning a lot. Sales and marketing people are said to run the world, for an entrepreneur these are a must have. I mean how can one make coffee a billion dollar business, and another sell not so good food more than the good MacDonald's. Of course you have to believe in your products. Shameless marketing is what its called. My joy is to see Africans market their own creations. They say that sex sells, at least you have to get the attention of viewers however the trend by some firms to use comedians e.g. OLX with Eric Omondi the dude never disappoints or at least from my side. The Airlel AD, Safaricom AD these comedians are doing a good job. Camay AD, well it took me time to understand it, that may mean that the...

Just watched Jeff Koinange live where one Churchill Ndambuki named one of the most influential Kenyans in 2008, and has maintained the good pace since then. I like such characters A LOT just like Walt Disney who saw what we now see then when not many were seeing it, like Jesus seeing the salvation of man yet even his relatives thought he was 'by himself'. As we were scouting for a place to hold our third edition of a High School holiday seminar we met the founder of Greenlands Resource Center Molo who gave us part of his story, how he worked to where he is now. The story was no doubt amazing. Hearing from his peers and even from his early day sympathizers his has been a long journey. As I walk around looking for content to upload here I find out that the services of such is greatly required. Most people do business and as.they do so they seek to hide from the Kenya Revenue Authority's radar. As one multimillionaire, founder of InterConsumer Products, Paul Kinuthia ass...

So californium has nothing to do with California but radio activity, similarity Statismark will be hosting an event whose target group is the teenagers, as we know words have POWER. FROM cutting trees in Solomon Islands to water forming different crystals depending on what was spoken to the water. From the creation where God spake and the world was created to witches declaring curses and they come to pass More like californium, dangerous depending on how we use words. And on mentoring, some magician that has been taped walking on water apparently says that his grandpa taught him how to do magic. So we'll be giving a talk at Greenland Resource Centre this time at Ksh.500 each.

My take, I think if RFIDs were to be used in the ever volatile North Kenya regions to track movement of animals THAT would work to reduce cattle rustling SIGNIFICANTLY. Now genius is in simplifying things. Especially complex things. There are many ways of identifying animals, branding and so on, I just can't understand why so many have to die in the name of cattle rustling. RFIDs can be combined to give a very good solution. TO my other piece of golden information A Mr. Gidraff from Rose Park Molo Academy, this Guy surprised me because of his great Science skills. Before we think in the wrong direction, his skills in science are evidenced by the fact that he actually was a co-author in an Oxford text book used by primary schools all over Kenya. To say that his beginnings were humble is a serious understatement. He started teaching in private primary schools with only O -level training but he dedicated himself to improving his skills. He studied hard, from a meager ...

CALIFORNIUM SUPERMARKET

Yes furniture, here(Molo) its cheap, deals from here Californium can be the best description. So Ksh3200 for a three seater, absolutely outrageous. ONLY IN MOLO So a new Supermarket has opened in town, just one among many I tell you. Molo metropolis, that's all it can be called. From the usual suspects Double M's Uchumi &Molo Supermarket New ones have opened up especially after the 2007-2008 Post Election Violence (P.E.V). Ahem! There we go again huge corporations were started out after the great depression, the Church especially in the U.S.A. experienced great revivals after the wars. Seems we men wait till God breaks our limbs for us to remember that He is still around and that He has put seeds of greatness in each of us. SAD, VERY SAD Mawingu Supermarket Eden Supermarket Capital Supermarket Apparently only one supermarket in Molo that has CCTV Cameras installed to the best of my knowledge. Among the new entrants But of all of them Corner Mix is the Bes...

GOLDEN AGE

If in my country especially around Molo, the rail roads lie idle year in year out, we have poly technical colleges teaching mechanical engineering I think this are an opportunity bearing in mind how expensive transportation is but NO WORRY If a business is supposed to meet a need in society, then Africa is a land of opportunities. The violence witnessed from Somalia to Sudan, from Egypt to Libya, from Congo to striking mine workers in South Africa, the list is endless. THIS IS A GOLDEN AGE. As a local entrepreneur said on the show Young Rich hosted by One and only Josh 'There are so many opportunities I wish I can come back in another form' My bad that I will just blog and do nothing, this calls for action. As they say success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Times we did less yapping and a lot of DOING. So Bomas of Nakuru is coming up somewhere near Subukia interesting site, would love to visit. Some people are actually DOING something. Nakuru also hit Tech...

On World Cup 2014 I can't stop laughing every time the Coca-cola advert comes. Haha! how clueless some are, others are admirers while others are diehards, being chefs they don't realize that the food they are preparing is actually getting burned. OREO Ad that's another ad that I think was wonderfully done, it especially gives bachelors a challenge. Oh! the feeling of a future happy family, that's the kind of feeling, by the way I need to taste this product. Finally AIRTEL,   HAHA! the dude goes long lengths to get free talk time. Absolutely hilarious.  By the way you can suggest what team will win the #worldcup2014 on  Statismark's website
