Beenish Usman and Arona Shabbir There is a trend in Multan, that committee parties for women are usually arranged at lunch time, or  hi-teas in the evenings. But, because  Arona Shabbir  is a lady with a career, she preferred to host a dinner instead, on a weekend night (Friday 30th November). Which turned out to be really convenient for the members, who have jobs in the mornings or school going children. This was the last party, in the committee, run by  Farah Saqib . Venue was Shangrilla Chinese, the most well reputed place for Chinese food here. Menu; of course, could not be other than scrumptious Chinese cuisine. Arona had a special separate hall arranged for her fellow members of the committee, so they enjoyed a relaxed environment of a private party. Arona shared the privilege of hosting the event with her niece    Beenish Usman  who happens to be a competent banker. This is not the first party by Arona Shabbir to appear on this blo...

After eid-ul-Azha there is always a little gap between the next month of Muharram (Which happens to be the 1st month of Islamic year. According to Muslim faith, life is not meant to be wasted in celebrations and frivolities. So, Islamic year begins with a sad touch, instead). And before the beginning of Muharram, there is always a rush of marriages and eid-milan parties. Taking advantage of the timing, these two beautiful ladies decided a colour theme for their party.
