An exquisite brunch by Itrat Mujtaba Gillani

Itrat Mujtaba Gillani, the stunning hostess of the event
'God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December'. And Itrat Mujtaba Gillani is to native ladies of the city of saints, what roses are to December. Women need to get spick and span and here Itrat has Alle' Nora for all their grooming requirements. Looking for a nice restaurant with a cosy ambience and there, she has Lahore Chatkhara Multan branch, successfully run alongwith her business partner Haniya Shahid. And if you have got a sweet tooth and there, at the side of Chatkhara, sits 'Nutella shack'. And no, you are wrong in guessing this time. Not her, but her daughter and son in law, own the place.

But it is not enough. Itrat is not a lady to stop anywhere. She is so full of creative energies that she is constantly looking for something new to do. Recently, she decided to start a committee with a hefty amount. To be able to collect and provide her friends an amount, sufficient enough to start a business partnership. Great idea indeed.

 And she flaunted the first committee party with a big bang by throwing a resplendent brunch, on 19th December at her beautiful house. A day, when bright sunshine added warm glow to the wintry morning. Serene greens looked greener, everything seemed brighter, beautiful and cheerful.

Itrat, her daughter Haleema and daughter in law Khadija, proved to be as fabulous hostesses as they appeared. They extended their gentle hospitality with great care and humility to all the guests. Itrat's grandchildren were also there to add colour to the environment.

Lots of distinguished guests were invited with all the committee members. The turnover was superb and the layout was simply breathtaking. The place was flooded with unusual flower arrangements. Poinsettia, Amaryllis, Anemone and Camellia were specially brought for the occasion. Which turned the whole atmosphere fully fragrant. Crystal chandeliers and candle stands added an exquisite touch of elegance.

Those present at the event truly enjoyed that beautiful afternoon. And they were even more pleased with the scrumptious menu laid by none other but 'Lahore Chatkhara, Multan branch'. A fabulous feast indeed. Followed by sumptuous sweet treat by 'Nutella Shack'.

We congratulate Itrat for carrying out such a wonderful event. Which lasted for a day but its beauty will live in the memories of the people who attended it. And we look forward to more such events by you. Wish you all the best, for all your future endeavours!

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 is the president of Ladies club Multan. A social platform, which exists fo

Floral fiesta by Mahwish Abdulhaq

Mahwish Abdulhaq with Hafsa Ali and Mahwish with her son Musa March is the month of flowers and fragrances, this was exactly what Mahwish Abdulhaq, (famous for her project Enlightened Multan) had in mind to celebrate her turn to throw a party in FMS committee party. She selected 'flowers fiesta' as theme for the event. When she floated the plan among other members, they pooled in their own ideas too. Floral clothes, hair styled with flowers, garlands.  Yet, what unfolded when they reached Mahwish's respledent house, surprised everyone. Nobody could have imagined the amount of the flowers which adorned the place. Vases and vases, full of flowers. Garlands for the guests, bouquets for the winners of different games planned by Mahwish and her children.  Mahwish's children, Hanifa, Musa and had planned a T20 for the guests. All of them were taken to the lawns, where wickets, bats and balls awaited them. Musa and his brother lead as captains and they picked their players fro
