The February feast at Shahjahan grill.

Two of the hostesses, Syeda Alina Zahra Gillani with Masooma Sibtain Shoaib.

The month of February, always offers an awesome weather for the natives of Multan. The best time of the year to visit the city of saints. Also, the favorite time for its residents to proceed with any plans, they have for holding wedding ceremonies, arranging brunches, lunches or dinners. And like every year, this month was again received with joy. Lots of Valentine's day and anti-Valentine's day, themed celebrations took place.But our focus remains on one party, this month.

On Saturday, February 23rd, a fantastic lunch was hosted by Masooma Sibtain , Syeda Alina Xahra Gilani . Fauzia Buccha and Uzma Gillani, also joined them to host FMS, committee for the months of January and February together.

Venue and menu was selected by Masooma. 'Shahjah grill', the beautiful new addition in the eateries of Multan, was a different choice from all the previous parties. The selection was greatly admired by all the members. The arrangement was done as a separate seating, on the first floor for privacy of the distinguished ladies.

The enthusiastic, energetic, hostesses, Masooma and Alina need no introduction. They are the heart and soul of, 'the chamber of commerce, Multan'. Masooma, an extremely successful entrepreneur, who also remained president of 'South Punjab, women's chamber of commerce', till last year. She still serves as a great inspiration, the driving force and motivational spirit for all the other female entrepreneurs of South Punjab.
Alina Xahra Gillani is though, very young but serves as a high ranking officer at 'the chamber of commerce', Multan.

Anyway, all the hostesses attended and entertained their guests very nicely. These girls were also generous enough, to invite children of the members. Which made this event, extra special. Thank you, very much ladies for such a great time.

And at the end, the writer of the blog, would like to share with all the readers, some special feelings and reasons, why February is her favorite month of the year.

FABULOUS FEBRUARY!
~*~
Of all the months in an year,
February is the only one;
which stands for love and care.
A time, when clouds hover around the sun,
Kites play hide and seek in the air.
A little rain here, some sunshine over there.

Winter flutters its wings, to set off till the end of year.
Spring, borrows some warmth from summer,
and paints the earth, with mustard flowers.
Sun and showers,
together, everywhere.
And the world says, romance is in the air.

This month may hold many meanings for others
But the reason for my fondness,
is absolutely clear.
Because, I was born on February Twelfth, my dear!
Yes! This month brings my birthday, back to me every year.
(Fariha Munir Shah)

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...

Annual debates at SOS Herman Gmeiner school

You look at the well mannered, disciplined, full of smiles students, extremely efficient staff members, all this makes you believe that this must be a high end school.

Each student has access to laptop in computer class, their teachers use smartboard alongwith blackboard. Even their teachers are assessed and guided with the help of executive committee members.

Leading lady of Multan Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar

Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar is a name synonymous with women empowerment in entire South Punjab. She is a living proof of the saying, 'empowered women, empower other women'.

Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar was fully aware of the talents of the women of this area and knew how their skills were exploited at home and at work. She was determined to uplift and raise their standards of living, through education and trainings. She was among first people to ever demand a separate university for the girls of Multan and remained persistent about it.

She is the president of Ladies club Multan. A social platform, which exists fo...
