DENNIS ITUMBI narrates about his love life VALENTINES day,,,must read

Valentine day was the day I arrived in Nairobi dressed in a Maroon and cream Kaunda suit_ the closest I had to Red. That is a story I have told before. Five Valentine's ago, while working for Baraka FM I bought my first car a Maroon Subaru - I did not know how to drive. Dad was very clear- each of us should work hard and drive their own car. Instead of teaching us how to drive he taught us how to milk, plant and grow banana's,coffee, maize and beans.(For that am always grateful) Anyway, when I picked the car Martin Gitau drove my first car for me. I Decided I had to know how to drive in five days. I paid a driving school - day two I was out. I could not stand the slow pace. The next day I moved the car, It was manual by the way and drove abit..The car moved and by 2.30pm despite stalling several times - I took a move. I drove towards South B, of course stalling endless times. There were no incidents. Except that of course everytime I changed gears the car stopped because I did not know how to balance. I did not have a Learner badge or a driving licence, that was of course illegal and wrong. On the way back after the Upper Hill roundabout, just after the Memorial graveyard- the car stalled.Luckily the traffic was not very tight. This time I pulled the handbrake, I just could not ascend the steep hill. So I opened the bonnet and pretended to repair the car...For a whole one hour until traffic eased abit. I then literally drove up with the handbrake on. The next incident was next to KIE, in a panic move I confused the brake for the 'mafuta' and in the proccess I ended up in a ditch as I swerved off the road to avoid hitting other cars. It was Valentine, so again I was in luck, my bumper was done but the car was still okay. With the help of a few by-standers I was back on the road - by now my confidence was gone. The rest of the drive home was slow and closer to Zero speed for every KM covered. Just when I thought I was done when I got home...I simply could not park. Eventually with the help of a friend I did. Valentine was the first day I drove in Nairobi. Four days later I was a qualified self taught driver I love the lessons Nairobi taught me and the toughest were on Valentine day. Enjoy your day, whether marking Love,a Birthday or just memories and lessons like me. Hey, by the way today something happened, I will tell it one day in the future.
