I had heard that India and Nigeria are very alike but I never knew they are THAT similar. On the streets of India, you find street urchins who sleep right there on the roadside; get up and carry on with their business.
You find cows walking on major roads just like in Nigeria (except that Nigerians don't get down from their cars to feed the cows. Our cab driver actually did this 🙄)
There are rats too in India. I almost died of heart attack when I saw a rat. I wasn't too sure if they were as ruthless as their Nigerian brethren.
They have Keke Napep (tricycle) also. They are also in the colour green and yellow. In the picture above, my friend was haggling the price for a very short trip. The driver was being unreasonable so she said we should move to the front to speak to another driver. De ja vu!
You 'price' in the markets. If the sellers did not agree with our price, we would walk away and as you would guess, they would call us back😂 When they did not call us back after we had walked for a while, we eventually came back. Nigerian market style😁
Once you are in traffic (and this happens a lot), you find people who try to clean your windscreen or dance for you in exchange for money. It was like I was reliving Abuja days. There are also a lot of bikes🙄 but most of them are for private use.
India is popular for its street food- so they have samosa, puff puff and many others with mild modifications.
India is HOT. This is the crux of this matter. Fan and aircondirioner are used together because of the discomforting heat. The heat reminded me of my days as a student in University of Abuja, Gwagwalada. Gwagwalada is known for its hot climate. It was rumoured that from Gwagwalada to Hell fire cost only N50 by bus.
I noticed that they were lots of stalls for cold drinks on the streets because of the heat. I can't count how many times I stopped to buy something cold to drink. And that was how I met Chuski.
Chuski is an Indian local ice cream. It is made with the commonest of things; ice, flavour and lemon. Ice??? The ice that we sell here to make other drinks cold. Who would have thought. So basically Ice is crushed and put into the ice cream mould and then a wooden stick is put into mould. You take it out and dip it into the flavour you want and the ice absorbs it and boom you have chuski. You can then add lemon if it too sweet. It is so chilled and relaxing. You almost want to start shedding years of hits when it meets with your tongue and begins it's journey down your throat. I was so fascinated that they even let me video the process😂 (I may start the business)
Two hot countries, same resources, different maximization. Who would have thought that Ice could be turned to ice cream. Or that Ice could actually be used for something other than cooling things.
Nobody came to this world with 2 heads. We all have the same 24 hours. What are you doing with yours? Did you come to this world to cool other people or you came to make a difference? Re-invent yourself and then repeat and repeat again. Stop settling for status quo. You see that thing you are graced for, there are 1001 ways it can still be done. Improve on your 'good'. It is God's desire that you thrive. Asides social media, what else do you use your data for? Add value. Be more. Think!!!
An I.Q between 90 and 110 is considered average; over 120, superior.Roughly 68% of the population has an IQ between 85 and 115. So the people that have IQ of 136, are they not human beings?😑 The next world's innovation may be in your head. Do us a favour and think. Be productive

"For this very reason, applying your diligence [to the divine promises, make every effort] in [exercising] your faith to, develop moral excellence, and in moral excellence, knowledge (insight, understanding), ...for as these qualities are yours and are increasing [in you], they will keep you from being useless and unproductive..."

Peace, love and chuski,
Love.
P.s if this has blessed you, please share with others. 😘😘😇
