Qurratul-ain Gillani hosts her 1st party in FMS' committee.

Quraul-ain (Annie) Gillani.

October remained a busy month for Multani-ites. The holy month of zil-Hajj, took many of the natives to Makkah, inorder to perform Hajj. Also, week long holidays for Eid-ul-Adha, followed by train of eid-milan parties.

And then the rush for weddings, as there are hardly nineteen days or less, after Eid-ul-Adha to Moharram, an extremely sacred month for the Shia community of Muslims. A month to show reverence and love for Panj-tan Pak, the family members of Holy Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). No matter Shia or Sunni or any other sect Muslims belong to, they love and honor them and refrain from arranging marriages or other festivities, in remembrance of the great tragedy, this family suffered during this month.
So, everybody wanted to finish, before the start of this month.

Quratul-ain Gillani, also known as Annie Gillani, is the daughter of the renowned political personality, Syed Tanveer-ul-Hassan Gillani.

Annie recently joined FMS' committee. Lucky for being a first timer, her name came out as the recipient of the committee in the very first draw.

So, it was her turn to host a party. She decided to give a hi-tea at Ramada, on 26th of October. Although (as mentioned earlier), it was a busy-busy month for many and during this time, the turnover of the members at committee parties turn low. But Annie made it a point, to personally call, each and every member of the committee and invite them, in her sweet voice. Which indeed persuaded the members to find time out of their busy schedules and attend the party. The event turned to be wonderful. Thanks to the hospitable personality of the hostess.

The members looked great. All bright, cheerful and beautiful, after Eid. And remained relaxed, in the comfortable, oft-visited ambiance of 'whispers' restaurant.

Thanks Annie!! For hosting such a nice party. We look forward to more from you in the future.

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

Glimpses from the event When you first visit SOS Herman Gmeiner school Multan, you are amazed by its majestic architectural design, beautifully decorated class rooms, functional libraries, meticulously pruned playgrounds, clean walkways and glistening environment. 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. There is a subject of 'general knowledge', which is based on the colorful books in their library, it requires th...
