ABOUT THE BOOK

Tikitian Imprints is a story about origins. It's the story of Habi and Sheeba in which we are transported thousands of years back in time to the Kenyan Tikitian valley to witness the very start of societal human existence on earth at a time when it had not yet been masked by the heaps of denials and defense mechanisms that modern humans so liberally shelter today. It's a story about real reasons, real reasons that lie behind the good reasons that we give to others, and more importantly, to ourselves for what we think, what we say and what we do. 

Do you ever wonder why… 

… intimate friends can feel envious of each other sometimes? Is it fair to blame anyone for how he/she feels after all?
…a male has more of a natural tendency to flirt while a female has more of a natural tendency to be a one-man-woman?
…people spend a lot of time smiling and complimenting each other which is not all genuine, yet still so universally expected and even mandated?


Do you think…


…lovers give unconditionally or they only give with the expectation of the love and care that they get or will get or hopefully might again come to get in return?
…friends talk to each other to send and receive information or to listen to themselves talk knowing that someone who identifies with their chaotic head doings is listening and accepting?

 Throughout our exciting psyche-exploring journey with Habi and Sheeba, we come to face many personal self-discoveries of our own. There are discoveries that you will want to deny, discoveries that will make you cry and discoveries that will make you laugh. Your discoveries will make an imprint on your life forever.  

Tikitian Imprints is a fictional publication with sharp philosophical insight that gives testimony to Eleishi's achievement as a philosopher and novelist.
