US Town Celebrates Pakistan Evening

After eating a bowl of warm papri chaat and admiring gold bracelets, Mirza said she understood why her elders often told her about how Pakistan fought to gain its independence more than half a century ago. Mirza and her mother, Neelum Mirza, said they were waiting to hear Abrar-ul-Haq, a famous Pakistani singer and crowd favorite who was scheduled to perform last night. On one side of the room, crowds gathered by a group of cooks who were serving traditional dishes like naan, kheer and samosa.
