In my first year studying journalism, there was one lecturer who stood out amongst the others and that was Rafiek Mammon, who now works at The Next 48 Hours. Rafiek used to make lectures fun even though we all agreed that some of the work we were doing could make your mind go mad with boredom! I still remember when our class went to watch some or other play at the V&A Waterfront, where the Imax used to be. Ahhh…good times!
I always catch up with Rafiek’s articles on the internet and he writes things that are normally on my mind, but I just can’t seem to write them! Then I read what he has written, and can’t try and write that same piece without being influenced by his writing, and so normally end up not writing anything.
He wrote a very interesting piece on New Years over HERE, and basically what he says is that we can turn any night into New Years Eve and we can make New Years resolutions anytime of the year. It’s so true and he wrote it perfectly. It’s basically what I have been thinking for years and years now.
And obviously it’s the way we live here! We just tend to live it up all year and I think we should all do that. It’s about surrounding yourself with a good crowd, having a good laugh and just living life flat out all the time. Have a read over Rafiek’s article and you might just agree with what he has to say…
