Milania's Winter Wonderland part

''Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality''.

Milania's parents and grand parents must have believed in this quote by Andy Goldsworthy, that's why, they went on to create a winter wonderland in an oasis like Multan. The early days of January, did provide free chills to match the theme but a lot of hard work and labour was evident in the party decorations. Milania is the first child of Mr. Bakhtawar and Sidra, a well loved, popular, bright and beautiful, young couple. Bakhtawar happens to be the son of two extremely happening personalities of the city of saints. His father, Mr. Tanvir Sheikh, is among top industrialists, business magnates of the region and Mrs. Romana Tanvir. Where Mr. Tanvir Sheikh remained 'president' of different important chambers of the country, Romana still heads, Women's wing of Multan chamber of commerce, as president. A stunning lady always known for her beauty, style, great tastes and lavish parties.Living upto the traditions set by her mother-in-law, Sidra took great pains to perfect the layout required to meet the theme. Green lawns were scattered over with artificial snow. Giant, glittery snow flakes hanged, with balloon arches everywhere. Everything had a glittery, shiny, icy, glassy, classy touch about it.

What actually drove people at the party go insane, were the king size penguins cut-outs. Kids went mad taking snapshots and selfies, with Penguins and gigantic pictures of icy landscapes, out of 'Frozen' movie provided the perfect backdrop for the, winter wonderland. Blue, Pink and White, the uniformity of colours contributed serenity to the entire scene. Every nook and corner was decorated ostentatiously. Lots of games were there, with music and all the fun desired to entertain the kids and adults at a birthday party.

Tables were laid with Marsh mellows, chocolates and other candies to keep the guests, nibbling throughout the party. Before the mention of lunch/ brunch served at the party, bear in mind that this family is famous for serving extravagant cuisines for their guests. Famous, Multani chops, halwa poori and desi barbecued food, etc were there to please the seniors. Whereas, Western gastronomous delights were there in abundance to match the theme and to satisfy the tastes of the younger generation and kids alike. Desserts and sweets abound.

In short, it was great, great party. Perfect in every way. We congratulate Sidra and Romana for hosting such a beautiful event. Prayers for a long, happy and healthy life of Milania and a very blessed ever-after to this amazing couple of Bakhtawar and Sidra. Hope to catch up these wonderful people again with something new. It was their winter show and it made others wonder, what they have enstored for the future. In Percy Bysshe Shelley's words; O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?

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...
