''Dull November brings the blast,

Then the leaves are whirling fast.''

Leaves did whirl and partying blasts were indeed brought about but there was nothing dull about this month. It was just another hustling, bustling month, thriving with fun filled activities.

November brought the much awaited winter chills to the city of saints. The natives and the residents gladly took out winter clothings or went on shopping for new. Shawls, scarves, woollen clothes, coats, etc. Seasonal new fashion line for everybody. As, the festive season also continued with weddings and parties all around, the rounds to markets and tailors' shops seemed pleasurable instead of annoying.

The spirit was equally rejoiced by FMS committee members. The party for the month of November was hosted by two lovely sisters-in-law, Mariam Farrukh and Sobia Noor, who happen to be partners in this group as well as in real life. Their husbands are brothers and both of them are bankers too.

The ladies are well aware of the tastes of their friends. As majority of Multani-ites love to enjoy Chinese food, specially in winters. On 22nd November,Mariam and Sobia, organized a fantastic lunch at Shangrilla Chinese. A place famous in Multan for authentic Chinese cuisine. The menu was scrumptious, the arrangements were fantastic. The company was fabulous.

The turn over was pleasurable. Specially, the Gillanis surprised everybody by turning out together, after the wait of many months. Of course, their presence added colour to the gathering. Everybody looked wrapped up in new winter clothing. Indeed the party turned out to be as beautiful, as the ladies who hosted it.

Thanks a lot to all those who graced the occasion and congratulations to the hostesses for arranging another wonderful party. We look forward to more from you in future. God bless you all.

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...

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.
