In a recent research (According to Washington Post), it was discovered that more than half of the 27 related 'selfie' deaths in 2015 occurred in the second most populous country in Asia, India. What a very sad news. India as a country is one that I have always compared greatly with my dear country, Nigeria. One, because of the large population of both countries; being the 2nd and and 7th most populous counties in the world respectively (According to infoplease.com). And 2, because, Indians and Nigerians like to take what is trending in the world, and turn it up another notch. This is evident in the fact that India, when Hollywood became a household name in the 70s and 80s, quickly went and named their own movie industry, Bollywood (a play on the name, Hollywood). Nigeria did the same when they named their own movie industry Nollywood.

A Barber Who Drives a Rolls Royce?
Yup! This Indian man from Bangalore, Ramesh Babu still runs the barbing saloon he inherited from his father, but he also owns a Rolls Royce Ghost, which he drives around town during his leisure time. How come? While running his barbing saloon, he started a car rental service on the side about twenty years ago, and today, he owns over sixty cars, one of which is the beautiful white Rolls Royce you see in the picture below.
