Mrs. Mahnaz Amir Sheikh

Mahnaz Amir Sheikh, a successful entrepreneur, a social worker, a creative soul. You name any quality and the lady excels in it. From 1996, till date, she is serving as, General secretary of 'the ladies club', Multan. Remained, vice-president (2011-12) of 'South Punjab women's chamber of commerce and industry' (SPWCCI). Also runs her own furniture business, by the name of 'Wood Carvers'. An affectionate mother of three beautiful, brilliant children. Mahnaz is happily married to Mr. Amir Naseem Sheikh, a renowned industrialist, turned politician (in making).

But this is not enough of an introduction, if we get into her family matters. She is the daughter of extremely capable and popular parents, Mr. and Mrs Mukhtar A.Sheikh. Both her parents remained active politicians. Along with being the top most industrialists of Pakistan. Her brother, Mr. Faisal Mukhtar Sheikh, was the most applauded, 'City Nazim', of the city of saints. Her mother, Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar, is immensely popular for her dedication to charity and social work. And is life-time president of many institutes, meant for ladies. Her services to the womenfolk, here in Multan, can never be denied, in any case.

As is the tradition of Multan. Women, like to socialize through committee parties. Mahnaz and her mother are also members of such committees. And whenever, it is their turn to party, even a simple party turn into a stupendous event.

And Multani'ites had one such treat at Mrs. Farrukh Muktar's house 'Al-Fazal', just two days before Eid-ul-Zuha, on 24th October, 2012. A tea cum dinner, hosted by Mrs. Mahnaz Amir. A unique idea indeed, but being fully aware of the nature of the natives of this city, 5.30 (pm) was intelligently selected as requested time of arrival. And the ladies kept arriving late, till 7.30 (pm). The tea was served with delicacies on the seats.

The arrangement was simply awesome. The areas could easily be divided into three, on basis of the lighting. Richly lit, moderately lit and romantically lit. Table lamps, wide gazebos with decks were laid, all over in the spacious lawn full of waterfalls. Plenty of flower arrangements, air filled with music. Beautiful, classy ladies, dressed at their best, further enhanced the elegance of the event. The dinner was lavish, a wonderful combination of traditional and modern cuisines.

It was one great party, a signature event of 'the Sheikhs', of Multan. Mahnaz Amir Sheikh, it was indeed, something required to give a feeling of completeness to the year, 2012, for the female community of Multan. Thanks a lot for a lovely evening.

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.
