NTV’s Janet Kanini Ikua Suffers Culture Shock Upon Reaching India. You Will Not Believe What They Do To Cows There

As you all know, Janet Kanini Kukua is at the home of the famous mausoleum Taj Mahal; India.

She visited the country to seek treatment for her stage four Lung Cancer and while there she relegates some rather interesting tales about India.

she says one of the most popular meat dishes in India is popular Chicken with the Indian spicy chicken dishes helping her revamp her taste buds that have ‘gone on leave sometimes because of medication,.

The reason why chicken is so popular is that you cannot eat beef as its holy and eating beef can land you in jail. “ Ng’ombes, both male and female, are sacred to Hindus. They consider them to be their mothers because cows also produce milk. In fact my Mum was surprised one day when she was in a taxi and suddenly, without warning, the driver stopped, jumped out, ran to the boot, removed some chapati and went to feed a random cow on the road which was just chilling. It happily ate the chapo and the driver returned to the taxi, equally happy that he in turn has received blessings by that action. However most milk drank is from buffaloes…. that’s right. Don’t think about it too much, and preferably drink Indian masala tea which is full of flavour.” she wrote

She also reveals that she really misses Kenyan food, especially the lowly githeri but for now Chole Bhatura (chick peas eaten with Purri ) will suffice.

I am sure some of you are wondering how her treatment is going. She says that she is done with the second cycle of chemotherapy and she is almost back to her old self with a little bit of hair loss as a result of the procedure. But through it all she remains upbeat and is now using Amla oil to save her hair.

But all in all she seems to be doing better, judging from this photo:
