An aftaar by Mala and Ahsan Rasheed

The refreshed Mala Ahsan.

Mr. Ahsan Rasheed and Mala Ahsan (Shimaila Jabeen) are the most regular people to appear on this blog. Because they are the most happening, young couple of Multan. Fond of throwing parties and entertaining their friends.

Due to summer vacations, they were out of country, with their children. Touring Far East and China, in the beginning of Ramadan. But as they returned, back to Multan. Keeping up with their tradition of arranging an aftaar during Ramadan. They invited, all their intimate friends to one such party, on 4th of August.

The venue was again, their own beautiful residence. But to handle the hot weather with proper air conditioning, they kept it indoors, instead of their usual, roof-top garden. Gentlemen in the drawing room and ladies in the lounge.

And everybody noticed and admired that Mala, (who is already well- known as one of the most beautiful women of the city of saints) sparkled with a rejuvenated charm, after her foreign excursions.

Mala, left no stone unturned to make this event perfect. She is one of those lovely ladies, who organize things with full effort, even if there is just a single guest to attend to.

Scrumptious menu for aftaar, was laid on the coffee tables. Easily accessible to all the guests. It spared them the effort of getting up and heading towards the dinning room. Which gets really tiresome for those, who are already feel weak because of fasting.

After the break for nammaz ( Maghrib prayers), the guests were entertained with a sumptuous formal dinner. But the show was stolen by the heavenly desserts, (which are Mala's speciality) served later.

It was an informal, intimate gathering. And everybody had a wonderful time.

Congratulations, Mala and Ahsan! Keep up the good partying!
You breathe-in new life, into the soul of Multan, every time, you throw a party.

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).
