NAIROBI: I was making my annual trip to the barber when the rains came, so I was in that space between sleep and wakefulness, when I hear things without registering them.
But I thought I heard Evans, my barber of six years – which means I have shaved my hair in the same style for as long, say it was raining so hard, some vehicles were on the verge of submerging outside Kenyatta Avenue.
