One day in English, we were asked to talk about a life changing incident in our lives. I have had this assignment before but I was to sad to talk about such a subject. We go around the circle. People talk about their golden goal in a soccer game or their first job. All they talked about were happy things. It was my turn.…

But in all these, Mr. Ndoto comforted them that I would only be away…
It’s a hot and stuffy afternoon which didn’t help with the disgusted and hurt feeling I felt inside. I never thought that I would be betrayed by my best friend Amir maybe he was scared of being hurt by Assef- I don’t blame him for being afraid but I wish that he helped me that day. I was hanging up the washing when I heard a voice say, “Come with me.” To my surprise I turned to see Amir and I was so happy to see him, but at the back of my mind I was also curious about what he wanted to show me. I followed him to the hillside where he used to read all his stories to me. He was a talented writer and I enjoyed listening to his stories all the time.…
Sachi smiled, returning to speak of our home. Mum and Dad asked questions when their weariness allowed and nodded constantly to avoid looking anything below civil. I left the conversation as my eyes followed the tall towers of prosperity. Watching the pedestrians and city swirl together, I wondered about their lives. Their families, homes, where they truly belonged.…
In life we all encounter events and different experiences but they are not memorable. There are some that remain in our minds forever. My little brother four wheeler accident is one of those days.

That night, I creeped out of the temple, and started walking towards the horizon, like my old friend Govinda had done many years ago. I closed my eyes and said to myself Siddhartha you are finally free. When I opened my eyes I came back to reality, and I saw my friend Govinda next to the Buddha, asking me if I will also follow the teachings of the Illustrious One. Which I responded, “Govinda, my friend this lifestyle does not fulfill me, however you are now a man and you can take a step without me be your side.” I turned and walked towards the horizon, I turned and waved my hand at him, but something told me that this time I would see him…
The click of my heels on the exhausted cobbled path echoed into the distance. This was my meeting point. I was stood on George Street, just south of the town centre, waiting for him to arrive. My eyes winced for a sign of him as increasingly light became sparse. Only an old street lamp could shield me now, its thin rays fighting to reach my eyes, though falling to penetrate the overwhelming darkness.…
Not every memorable event in your life will lend itself well to this assignment. The most common failing in faulty narratives is that the meaning of the event is clearer to the narrator than to the audience. It’s the storyteller’s job to PUT THE READER THERE by providing enough detail and context to see why the event is significant. If an event didn’t lead to any significant insight, understanding, knowledge, change, or other kind of difference in your life, and if you really had to be there to appreciate its significance, then it’s a poor candidate for a self-reflective (personal) autobiographical narrative.…

As we made our way to Bangkok Thai, the parking gods were shining down upon us, guiding us toward store front parking.…
