The 'Big Show' of Mulkhow!

BOONI, Jan 29: Pehlawan of Mulkhow is indeed a man of nerves but as many other strong men, he also has his weaknesses. Mulkhowo Pehlawan can eat up to 10 plates of Pulao with a jumbo size Pepsi at a time and easily digest it. He has been the active member of the tug-of-war team of his area at the annual Qaqlasht festival for the last many years. But his major weakness is, he gets scared when it comes to crossing bridges, even the one over a small stream. When asked why he gets scared of bridges, he told ChitralToday that man-made things such as bridges cannot and should not be trusted. But it is not known if Pehlawan of Mulkhow has ever got the opportunity of air travel.–S.N. Peerzada]]>
