Saima Faisal hosts a resplendent lunch

16th December, the Peshawar massacre not just shook the country but the entire world. Tragedy that struck, Army Public school, left everybody devastated and emotionally shattered. FMS committee party, was scheduled for 18th December, but when the hostesses Saima Faisal and Filza learnt about the incident, they postponed the event to show solidarity with the grieving parents and families of the victims.

But as it is said, life must go on... The event was taken to end of the month. On 27th December it was re-arranged. It started with special prayer for the victims and their families. The topic of the discussions throughout the party, predominately remained the security concerns. The pain and sufferance of the victims could be seen in every soul.

The lunch was arranged at Ramada Multan. Significance of the venue is that, it is owned by Saima Faisal and her family. The lovely lady is married to Mr. Faisal Hameed and helps her husband in the smooth functioning of this hotel. The lavishness of the menu and perfection of the layout, clearly spoke of her authority and influence at the place.

Filza Akbar is a very successful young entrepreneur, who is partner with Saima in this committee and co-hosted the party. Her friends Hina and Amna specially graced the occasion. Whereas, Rabia Rehman was special guest from Saima Faisal's side. These beautiful ladies served as embellishments in a very perfect party.

Adorned with the innumerable flower arrangements of the Red Roses, the Chinese restaurant on the first floor was booked, exclusively for the members of FMS committee.The layout was simply remarkable. It seemed, there was not a single dish served at Ramada, which was not included in the menu. Chinese, Continental, Thai, Desi, all kinds of cuisines were there. It started with a salad bar at one corner and with dozens of varieties of Mutton, Chicken, Sea food, Rice and vegetables, continued till an absolutely breath taking dessert bar, with uncountable types of sweets. So much of variety at one place, not only boasted the excellence of the hotel but also about the generosity of the hostesses. Indeed it made the party very special.

Another lovable fact about this party was the presence of Anum Faisal, Saima's daughter presided over the event, not just as a guest but as an organizer and representatives of the hotel. She personally greeted all the guests of her mother, present at the party and asked if they needed something. Great spirit of hospitality showed by this little lady. We must admire these good manners and values in the modern times, as this quality is becoming non-entity. Our Salute to you Saima for raising such accomplished children.

Once again, a big thank from all the members of FMS committee for arranging such a superb lunch.

Prettiest of friends,
Rabia Rehman and Saima Faisal.

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

Annual debates at SOS Herman Gmeiner 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.
