Afghanistan tallest man
Abdul Mutalib came to our TV station and asked if someone can took his interview. As per normal schedule I was getting ready for my TV program “3 questions 3 answers” but all of sudden my producer asked me to conduct an interview.
I was not aware of that whom I am going to take interview when and where. In reply to my question my produce told me that as soon as you will see him you will know what you have to ask.
With great pleasure I saw a very tall man standing in the ground surrounding by all my colleagues who were busy to click his photographs in their mobile phones. I noticed that he was not much comfortable and bit shy among others “Lilliput” people compare to him.
During interviewing him I found out Abdul Mutalib from southern Afghanistan. He was a farmer. And his mother tongue Pashto as I was not fluent in Pashto so we were talking in mixed up with Pashto and Dari languages. He is married and has four children. He was not sure about his exact age but he mention may be 37 years.
He is about 7ft and not facing any trouble regarding clothes and buying shooes, he has a tailor and he is ordering shoes for himself.
“I have no problem in my life and I am proud of my height the only things which I have problem with is transportation I couldn’t get in any kinds of vehicle”. he said.
“But sometime I feel upset because I can’t live like normal people” added he.
Abdul Mutalib has sisters and brothers but they are all having normal height, his children are also having normal high.
Abdul Mutalib came to appear in TV because he wanted to show himself for the people and named himself as tallest man in Afghanistan.

"Tasty Mantou"
Mantou is a Chinese bread typically eaten northern part of china. People usually eat it in breakfast with tea or soya milk.Montou made with milled wheat flour, water and some other special seeds. The size is range from 4cm to over 15 cm soft, fluffy and tasty.
Chinese mantou is known in the south but people rarely cook them at home they are often served as street food or in the restaurants.
They are often sold pre-cooked in the frozen section in supermarkets ready for preparation by steaming or heating in the microwave.
Qiujin 32, lives in London and she says that she can’t cook Mantou at home but she can buy it from Chinese stores. “I love mantou, normally we eat it with noodles”. she said.
In Chinese the name Mantou means “barbarian’s head. The legends arise from Zhuge Liang chief minister of the Shu State during the Three Kingdoms Period. He goes to attack the cave- dwelling Southern Man who was attacked his state before .He came to the bank of the Lushui River at the head of a big army. Someone told him that the river was poisonous and treacherous and that human lives would be lost in crossing unless the tyrannical River god was appeased. The man said that the way to do this was to offer him mantou (heads of the captured barbarians) as human sacrifices. Zhuge Liang was a kind-hearted man, so he ordered his army to use "heads" (tou) made of dough instead of real human ones, to save lives.
