Hina Gillani's FMS committee lunch

The hostess of the event,
Hina Gillani.
Change of weather has already taken place in the city of saints. October arrived with cooler evenings and pleasant afternoons. Allowing ladies to dress in a little more ceremonial way on the Eid as well. Women, who were tired of wearing simple cottons and lawns for over half an year now, opted more for silks and chiffons. Materials, which automatically add charm and elegance to the personality.

As, Eid-ul-Azha is quickly followed by the beginning of new Islamic year. The sacred, yet sombre month of Muharram-ul-Harram, calls for no celebrations as a sign of respect. Therefore, last few days of Zilhaj after Eid, before start of Muharram are followed by endless train of weddings and parties. During such busy days, it is indeed difficult to take time out to arrange committee parties, etc. Hats off to Hina Gillani who managed to arrange a fabulous lunch, on 18th October, for the committee members of FMS committee group.

It was the very first time for Hina Gillani to host a party for this group of ladies. As, she recently joined this committee, persuaded by her sister in law Fatima Gillani,who is among the pioneer members that FMS committee started with, more than a decade ago.

Hina had made a splendid arrangement at Shahjahan grill. She got a separate hall reserved for all her guests, so that her friends and committee 
members could enjoy a relaxed treat, in a private atmosphere. For many, it came as a revelation that there was such a big, beautifully laid, conference room type of hall in Shahjahn grill as well.


And the best part of the whole event, was the fantastic choice of menu. Special Mughlai cuisine, including barbecue and specialities fit for royalty, was the food selected by 
Hina  for all her friends. All those, who were present, thoroughly enjoyed this gastronomical delight.

Unfortunately, the turn over of members was not as much as wished for, to savour, what feast Hina had for them. As, in committee parties in Multan, it is becoming a trend that people only attend parties of those, who had attended their parties and they do remember, who had not attended theirs. So, always keep in mind, if you have joined a committee group with parties, do try to attend them all. Otherwise, people are going to refuse to be a part of whatever you are doing for them.

Anyway, Hina had done, all her best to make this party a great success and all those, who attended it, loved it. Those, who missed it, missed a great party.

Thanks a lot Hina for such a wonderful lunch. We look forward to more from you in future. Stay happy and blessed!

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...

Leading lady of Multan Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar

Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar is a name synonymous with women empowerment in entire South Punjab. She is a living proof of the saying, 'empowered women, empower other women'. She became a member of Majlis-e-shurra of Pakistan and served at that position from 1982 to 1985 and dedicated herself for the betterment of underprivileged women of South Punjab.  Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar was fully aware of the talents of the women of this area and knew how their skills were exploited at home and at work. She was determined to uplift and raise their standards of living, through education and trainings. She was among first people to ever demand a separate university for the girls of Multan and remained persistent about it. Finally, it bore fruit, three decades later, in form of women's university Multan.  Not just education, but she has worked for the social and economic empowerment of the women too. She is the president of Ladies club Multan. A social platform, which exists fo...

Celebration of Saraiki culture

Uzma Burana hosting her show Multan is one of the few places on earth, where Saraiki is regarded a native language.  As this city is considered a parallel civilization to Rome; Saraiki is often compared to French language in sweetness, softness and beauty. It has a strange poetic quality about it. This language is widely spoken in entire South of Punjab and at the bordering areas in Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtoonkhwah. Richness of Saraiki heritage and culture can flabbergast those, who are unaware of it. Vibrance of colours, ethnic touch, elegance wrapped in austerity, these characteristics truly elevate Saraiki handicrafts from rest of the world. Here, everything can be hand embroidered. Apparel, shoes, beddings, wall hangings, table to foot mats. You name it and Saraiki people would present to you an article dripping with colour, shimmer and originality. Artefacts made of camel skin, mirror work, miniatures, paintings, mosaic. Truly hand made, from beginni...
