Ladies club, Multan

Mahnaz Amir and Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar

Ladies club Multan, a slice of women's social life in the city of saints. An embodiment of societal interaction among the young and the old. An epitome of living legends, who have journeyed through time and inspired generations. A platform to learn, teach, express, preach and to be cordial.

From decade to decade, year to year, month to month, this club has worked as a scaffold for ladies of Multan, to shine among their kind by sharing their talents and capabilities. The tradition still goes on, after more than half a century.

As we all know the month of December is favourite time for Multani-ites to party. And by chance, Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awal, which is itself a call for celebration, happened to fall at the same time. As it is the month of Hazrat Muhammad, the last prophet of Islam, Muslims arrange festivities to remember and cherish his teachings. Such events are called Milaads.

Members of Ladies club Multan have always expressed immense joy and devotion in revering Holy prophet and therefore have arranged Milaads on annual basis.

In December 2015, this honour to venerate this event went to the president of the club Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar, Mrs. Mahnaz Amir and their group fellows. They organized a beautiful evening. Recitation of holy Quran, recitals of poems in reverence of the last prophet of Islam by specially invited guests, were a part of this occasion.

Then, a lecture was delivered by international award winning Qaria Nasreen, from Bahaudin Zakria university, Multan. Which left the audience spellbound and eyes filled with tears. In short, it was a blessed, soulful gathering.

At the end annual prize distribution ceremony took place. President of club, Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar distributed gifts among the participants, club administration and active members of the club. Finally all the guests were entertained with tea and snacks.

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...

Maria BB's dholki at Tehmina Munir's

Glimpses of the resplendent event at Tehmina Munir's house. SOS children's village Multan is a little wonderland. Where children are raised with all the love in the world. No blood relatives are required for the purpose, as SOS villages have their own family system and nurture a congenial environment. A village consists of several houses. Each house is an abode to ten children. Looked after by a lady, appointed as 'mother'. She is responsible for taking care of the household chores and of the children like a mother. In short, it is made sure, they receive the affection of sisters, brothers and a mother. If there are siblings residing in the village, it is ensured, they are housed together. So, they are not deprived of their blood relations as well. For the rest, the generous and kind 'friends of SOS' are always there to extend their loving gestures. The monthly committee party system is adopted to keep them actively involved in the life at SOS village and en...
