~~~~~~~~~~~Shimaila Jabeen or Mala Ahsan (as she is popularly known) is indeed the queen of themed parties. Once, she decides a subject, follows it to the last detail. And every time there is an occasion, there is something unique and innovative.

It was Mala's turn to throw a party in FMS' committee. The party took place on Saturday, 30th March.

The venue was the famous roof top garden of her own house.

The month of March, just the ideal time to celebrate the beauty of spring. And voila! There it was, her latest theme was 'flowers and fauna'.

One could easily guess the theme, the moment one entered her house, the doors were covered with Red Rose garlands. A big beautiful bouquet, placed in the center of the reception, welcomed the guests. Rose petals beautifully placed in form of motifs, highlighted with tiny oil lamps (or diva, as called in local language).

The staircase, which lead to the roof top garden was adorned with the Rose garlands, the color Red, everywhere. A candle at every step.
The decoration of the sitting area, at the terrace was breath taking, as stunning as Mala herself.
A beautiful canopy, provided the shade. Heavy aristocratic chaises, couches and sofas, all in Red Velvet and Gold, graced the place.

Red Roses, plenty of flower arrangements, flower petals, artistically placed, glorified the event.
So, much so, even the crockery which Mala used to serve, was full of floral designs.

Mala also had, few gifts to share with her guests. A surprise selection of 'lady of the evening'. The judges were children present at the occasion. Those little devils, gathered together, stood infront of the ladies, in usual manner. As if, simply looking around and then disappeared after deciding something. And later, Mala announced, the kids selected Marium Farrukh, as the recipient of the title.

Later, followed a brilliant cuisine of variety of items for hi-tea. A gastronomic and visual treat.
Everybody had a lovely time. And what was even more, the party was over in time.

Well done Mala. Once again, you entertained us all all in a splendid manner. Looking forward to more, in the future.
