I see a number of developments and changes that have come from the last time I was here some five years ago. But one thing I instantly learn is that Nature will always be bigger than mankind.

Ladies and gentleman, this part of my visit is called "How-to-go-to-a-wedding-without-bathing". Its Saturday morning and I am awaken by the sounds of the crying hens in the distance. It?s my sister's wedding day, so I begin to get ready. I am drawn to the living room by the sounds of panic. The ladies are pacing all over the place like headless chickens.

After an inquiry on why all the ladies are in more panic than the bride herself,I soon learn that the water was cut overnight.  The taps are dry and there is no water in the house. The lucky few early birds have finished the little that was there. I stepped out of the brave skin I was in and joined the panic.

I mean, this was not any ordinary day. This was the greatest day in the Shumba family in a long while.  I couldn?t go to this wedding stinking from head to toe. After trying out

I turned to the fridge where I found a 1liter bottle of frozen water. With my drying lips, I took the bottle outside, praying that the sun would rise quick but time would just stand still.

To cut the long story short, from that day on water climbed the ladder to be one of the most important resources on earth in my list - somewhere close to clean air.
