A picture of two countries - India and Uganda

Some VSO volunteers in New Delhi - ladies at right
Preparing for my trip to India was made easy with the help of the Filipino VSO volunteers in New Delhi.  In pictures, India and Uganda offer interesting contrasts and similarities.
The photos below speak a thousand words, and I hope you will enjoy the captions.
The ubiquitous pepper in India
Why do Africans strap the firewood at their back?
While Indians put them on top of their head?
Women in the Philippines are more fortunate, it's taboo to 
let them work in quarries (Africa) and road construction (India)
In India, cows are sacred that they can freely roam in shopping districts.
Only the load varies,  but the carrier 
 of the burden rests with the female gender
In Uganda,  a passenger back-saddles in boda-boda (no sidecars).
In India,  tuk-tuks have sidecars.
that ladies in flowing garbs can enjoy the ride
Whether it is the African monkey (baboons) or
Indian monkeys, they are both known to be mischievous
India and Africa - a kaleidoscope
