A lunch by Bushra Gillani and Mona Gillani

The beautiful hostesses, Bushra & Mona Gillani.

Summer has come and passed

Wake me up when September ends

Bring out the bells again

Like we did when spring began

Wake me up when September ends

This song by 'Green Day', truly expresses the feelings of the natives of 'City of saints'. For most of them, the beginning of fall is more romantic than the onset of spring. They desperately await the end of September, so that they know, this cool but short winter season is going to stay with them, a little longer than the Spring itself.

And end of September is, what Mona Gilani and Bushra Gilani selected to hold their party in FMS committee. The arranged a lavish lunch at Shahjahan Grill, on 20th September.

As their surname suggests, these ladies are indeed related to the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Yousaf Raza Gillani. Fresh as flower, this gorgeous young lady Bushra is his niece, his real sister Madam Nargis' daughter. Although, she has just got out of her teens but Bushra is happily married and mother of two beautiful toddlers. Her sociable and loving nature has already landed her, among the top socialites of Multan.

It seems unbelievable but Mona Gillani is a mother of teenagers. Her husband is a landlord and an entrepreneur. She prefers to stay at home and socialize with a small circle of friends. It is the good fortune of FMS committee that these two amazing ladies became a part of it for the first time.

Back to lunch now. A good number of members managed to attend the function and feasted over delicious desi cuisine selected by Bushra and Mona. Yellow seemed to be the favourite colour, as more than one lady selected to appear in it. It turned out to be a pretty colourful occasion, with lots of discussions, shared jokes and laughter.

Thanks a lot Mona Gilani and Bushra Gilani for hosting such a lovely lunch and we look forward to more soon.

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...
