Freeha Ismail's hi tea in FMS committee.

Freeha Ismail Basheer, hostess of the evening.

April is a fascinating month for the natives of the city of saints. Winter departs, summer remains reluctant to walk in, because of the presence of drizzles and rains. Clouds keep the skies covered. Sometimes, the rainbows appear.

As it is neither winter nor summer, spring spreads its wings. Flowers bloom, air is filled with the essences of the earth and foliage. The effect is magical and calls for the partying spirit. Dinners, lunches, brunches, coffee mornings, evening teas, people just find reasons to party, in order to celebrate this short lived season.

April is also the month, when women go crazy shopping for summer clothing, specially lawn. So, the basic subject discussed in every gathering is the lawn shopping. The most expensive, the most stylish and the newest ones in the market are passionately bought. Women keep looking for the opportunities to display their newly acquired treasures for summer.

And one such occasion was provided by Freeha Ismail. Who had her turn to party in FMS committee. She arranged a hi-tea in Ramada hotel, on 24th April.

Being the sweet, down to earth person that Freeha is, she personally called each and every member of the committee and requested them to attend the party. A gesture, which was reciprocated with equal enthusiasm. And a great number of members attended the function.

Freeha is quite hospitable and attended each of them on an individual level. Which indeed made everybody feel special. It turned out to be a great fun evening. And everybody enjoyed with full zest.

Freeha is an immaculate housewife (despite being a masters degree holder). She has completely dedicated herself to the arduous tasks of looking after her household and educating her children.

Her husband is a renowned paediatrician of Multan, a fact which makes her an even sought after person, among mothers of little children. Because, more than the doctor himself, women generally remember Dr. Ismail Bashir's wife more. As, she is very friendly and extremely approachable. Ladies find it easier to contact her to get a quick, direct access to the paediatrician himself.

And what makes April, even more interesting for Freeha, it has her birthday. She was born on 26th of April. But she kept that precious day, limited to her family only and thus entertained her guests a day or two earlier.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Freeha! May you have many more. God bless you.

It was a wonderful party and the best part was your hospitality, which attracted a great number of members ang guests. Congratulations!! And we look forward to more fun from you.

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...
