Hi-tea by Rameen Anees and Zahra Bassat.

The pretty hostesses, Rameen Anees and Zahra Bassat.

It is the time of the year when the holy month of Ramadan departs, leaving us all the gift of Eid. Summer vacations are coming to an end. Multani-ites are returning to their nests, back to the routines of their lives, in their native land. Even, few months can bring lots of changes in people and places. There have been a great shuffle in the political scene. Before the start of vacations, the prime minister of this country belonged to this land. But now, he is gone; replaced by someone new, who is not expected to hold this office for long too. This is but natural, this world is a temporary abode, no one can hold a position till the end of times.

Anyway, the changes which vacations generally bring in to the ladies of this city are usually; loss or gain of weight, tanning or fairness of complexion. So, for most of the women here in Multan, August is the time, either to receive compliments or comments contradictory to admirations.

One committee party, this blog religiously follows every month, is by FMS. In August, it was the turn of two popular ladies of this city, Rameen Anees and Zahra Bassat to arrange the party. Rameen spent her summers in Nathia Gali and just returned a day before the party. And Zahra Bassat has a tradition in her family to perform Umra during the last ten days of Ramadan. So, at their return, on 27th of August, these lovely ladies arranged a wonderful hi-tea at Ramada for the members of the committee. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious menu of Ramada hi-tea and the great turn-over of the beautiful members of the committee. Congratulations, Zahra and Rameen for arranging such a nice gathering.

The guests: Dr. Saleha Bokhari, Hania Shahid and Mahnaz Farid at the back.

M.G.M. Swimming pool.

View of the domes of MGM bulding from inside the pool. The crystal clear blue water. Chairs lined up for the spectators. Little pool for the toddlers. Summer is finally here, although, the weather still turns unpredictable at times. But still, one feels like taking a dip in the cool, cool water of a crystal clear pool. M.G.M (Multan Garrison Mess. Commonly known among Multanis, by its' old name 'services club'), opens up, pool doors for all its' members every 15th of April. The pool is open air, so it works on seasonal basis. From April to September/ October (if weather allows it). Last year, the pool remained open, only till May, after that, it was shut down for renovations & could not be reopened because of the 'dengue' scare. MGM pool has always been, undoubtedly the biggest & the best in this city, with an excellent filtration plant to boast & an extremely dedicated team of military men as workers, for maintaining th...
