COMMENT: Nice piece to read but if you are seriously expecting a response - which I think not! Then let us just leave it at that. In the meantime it appears that this was a serious request of someone, thinking they (the family) are going bonkers! When I was a young'un in Nairobi; the preferred people to undertake the most powerful dixtt were shoemakers, a piece of leather was used with a few halalas.... ( Coins of insignificant value); now I have revoked some memories!..... to remove dixtt! The person recovered miraculously; as a youngster, I could not sleep after the dixtt ceremony, with all the banging going on ( Violent love) - it was only later in life that I realised what it was all about. No it was not my parents....we lived cheek by jowl in rooms, within a compound. -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.
