GUEST ARTICLE: Karma

By Dickson Jere

At Munali Boys Secondary School, I differed with one senior badly. I vowed never to talk to this fellow – ever!

Two years later – after I left high school – had a trip. I urgently needed a passport. When I went to push for express, I was advised the quickest way was to get that green “Travel Document”. They pointed me to a slightly opened door. A gentleman in that office was incharge of making those documents.

Confidently, I knocked and the pushed the door open. Lo and behold it was the man I vowed never to talk to! I almost collapsed. He gestured asking for my documents without saying a word. He made it happen even though he never uttered a word to me.

Years later, this gentleman was stopped from travelling on a training program abroad because government was implementing austerity measures.

I was told by one of his friend. I was working at State House. Without uttering a word, I also revenged and made it happen without uttering any word. He travelled.

Now, we talk!
