Bird Flu
Its the second time in my life when I am actually seeing people in lahore avoiding chicken. Lahoris, being famous for their “healthy diets” (throw in all the sarcasm you can muster up here), are usually the last ones to go to such extremes, but ask any round the corner tikka shop and you will actually see lesser crowd there. According to BBC, pakistani authorities have quarantined two poultry farms in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) after a mild strain of bird flu was detected there.
