Mrs. Yasmin Riaz will be missed

The dear departed, Mrs. Yasmin Riaz

We are all mortal beings. Destined to experience death one day. We see many new souls arrive and leave this world during our journey of life, but we understand death for the first time when it puts its hand upon someone we love. It reminds us that we are still alive, perhaps for some purpose which we ought to re-examine. 

Mrs. Yasmin Riaz a distinguished  member of the Ladies Club Multan, left this world on 21st August. On 19th September, the president Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar arranged an evening to offer prayers and remembrance for the demised. The program was based on three parts. The prayer, Islamic lecture and remembrance by friends and family.

The program secretary, Mrs. Shagufta Khaksar conducted the program by inviting a renowned female Islamic scholar for holding the prayer and the lecture on the topic of 'life after death' in Islam. After that, Mrs. Fadia Kashif - daughter in law of Mrs. Yasmin Riaz was invited to speak. In a short but beautiful speech, Fadia described the personality of her mother in law, who was not less than an angel for many.

The friends of the deceased Mrs. Nuzhat Ejaz, Mrs. Iffat Zaki, Mrs. Shahida Buccha, Mrs. Safia Riaz Qureshi, Mrs. Jameeda Malik, presented eulogies, poetic excerpts to express their sorrow of losing a treasure of a friend they had in her. They talked of her hospitality, elegance, good manners, zest for life and fun loving nature. Her love for dressing well and perfect matching was also remembered and greatly admired, alongwith her contributions to charity and Islamic learning. A perfect well balanced life that she lived. A human being, well raised and well loved.

Finally, president Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar also shared few of the memories she had with Mrs. Yasmin Riaz, as a friend and a relative. She said, Yasmin was so full of life that it was unbelievable to think, she was not alive anymore. She highlighted Mrs. Yasmin's services to charities, specially to Islamic learning, it is because of it today that her house is completely dedicated to Quranic learning. And such contributions are the real assets which people take along to the life hereafter.

At the end, a hi-tea was served for those who took time out and gathered there to remember and pray for a beautiful soul called Mrs. Yasmin Riaz. She will always be missed and remembered. Rest in peace Mrs. Yasmin Riaz.

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.

Annual debates at SOS Herman Gmeiner school

Glimpses from the event When you first visit SOS Herman Gmeiner school Multan, you are amazed by its majestic architectural design, beautifully decorated class rooms, functional libraries, meticulously pruned playgrounds, clean walkways and glistening environment. 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.
