Of Liebster Award

Hallo I shall be quick on this. For reasons beyond my control I failed to fulfill a pledge to the Afroblog community. I wanted to hide behind a book but the book loan didn’t come through on time. I sought another hide from another content creator to transcribe their work, the request for the permission to publish it is still to come. Here I am fulfilling this surprise honor that came with the new week

http://khananidaniella.wordpress.com/ Khanani Daniella thanks a million times. You made me start believing I can be noticed for whatever, I do.

Questions and Answers.

What is my favorite book and why?

House of Hunger by Dambudzo Marechera. As a first year student the book made me realize how wrong were my church mates in thinking I can be a Pastor of my then denomination, hahahahah. It’s loaded with beautiful filth humanity is or can be. It’s a portrayal of Zimbabwe, Africa and the world. It’s aesthetics for me is second to none. I can read it anytime whatever page the spirit leads me to.

What song do I currently have on repeat?

For quite sometime I wasn’t listening to music, I don’t know why.

Which season (Autumn, Spring, Summer or Winter) best describes you?

Summer.

In the event of an emergency home evacuation, what is the first item you grab?

Yesterday I was telling a friend how I want to convert my mother’s metal kitchen unit into a safe haven for my slowly expanding real book library. I don’t know what you call soft copies of books for me they ain’t real. So for now I don’t want an emergency. If it happens for sometime I will make sure my library is safer even than me.

Which historical figure would you most like to meet and why?

They are few and many. I chose Dambudzo Marechera for the life he lived and the legacy he left not only to Zimbabwe but the wide jungle now being belittle by the term globe.

What makes a good blog?

Depth and originality, if the concepts exist anyway.

Back to the past or forward to the future?

I am allergic to short memory. Therefore I move across the three at any given time. After all the three are more than one. They are extremely entangled!

Your dream vacation.

Visiting at least a single African village each year and enjoy the closeness of the beauty that could have been.

The greatest movie of all time.

Not a believer of this notion of greatest of all time. In Shona they have a saying ‘Ramangwana harizikanwi‘ (of tomorrow is never known). What is all time? Hahahaha. Anyway I am not entirely a movie person but if it’s the series Queen Sono is numbered as a movie, it made me love it and watch it 3 times non-stop.

Wealth or health?

Both!

Your proudest moment.

Scratching my mind. But I feel proud when someone thinks I have done something valuable to them. Like this girl from my rural home who texted me yesternight telling me she wished me a happy father’s day (disregarding my disregard of the day) because in her own words “but honestly speaking I just felt like saying that to you cause you’re one of those people who make me feel good…‘
