On an average each chicken weighs approximately two kg and is sold anywhere between Rs 58 to Rs 80. That’s chicken feed if you are a chicken lover. Chicken vendors, poultry farmers and egg distributors, are not worried about the bird flu as much about their sales and reputation, dismissing the subject as chicken poop! These people have all their eggs in the same basket, and so are waiting for the consumption rate to shoot up. Bird flu is terrorizing the poultry farmers and distributors all over, literally making them flutter around!
Bollywood stars, armed with tandoori legs and eggs are promoting poultry products and trying to revive the sale of chicken and eggs as clean chick. Sanju baba and Sunil Shetty are holding up eggs with deadpan expression on their faces, “Mamu, bole to, anda khane ka aur body banane ka, kya?”
Word is, people and vehicles crossing the thin red line of borders are being screened, and nobody wants a chicken in the bus like in Bombay to Goa. Media is having a field month, ruffling some feathers with skin ripping headlines.
Reminds you of the Bulrovian fairy tale, The Sky Is Falling, where Chicken Little thinks the sky is crumbling down.
Nearly 1000 million chickens are born every year, turning into endless dishes for the gastronomes. A matter to ponder on, if roosters lend on the palate then why aren’t the dishes dedicated to them? A menu is yet to be seen where it says rooster soup, rooster biryani or chili rooster. The beating doesn’t stop here. Almost 33.5 billion eggs are laid every year, turning into half fries with sunny side up, boiled, scrambled eggs, omelets, pastries, etc.
Cockfighting
All said and nothing done, India is free of bird flu, no case has been reported in the country till date, no need for people to chicken out from having their favorite food.
Majority of people aren’t worried a bit about the ridiculous avian bird flu, they are still flipping their omelets. Khansamas (cooks) are still ruling the roost stirring chicken biryanis in the bottomless cauldrons. Sunny side up.
Youngsters are having an egg ball making fun of the silly false alarm and the tiny apprehensive section brooding is fast becoming the chicken butt of all jokes. Simply called the boneless chickens.
