The monoply of Khawaja ladies on the social scene of city of saints continued. But here we have an option. We can call, two of these hostesses here, either Khawaja or Bosan. Rabia Bosan is daughter of Khwaja family, married into Bosans. Whereas, her daughter Mamoona is married into Khawaja family. So, both these girls are both, Khawaja and Bosan. Anyway, these lovely ladies have also created a partnership in all the committee party groups, they have joined. Thus, it has become easier for them to manage all such activities.

It was their turn to party in Romana and Rani committee in July. Together with their group members, Asmi Ather, Saima Tanvir, Romana Malik, Shumaila Malik, they decided to throw a ''Hawaiian'' theme party. And invited all their members on 22nd July at a hi-tea in cafe Osteria, to show up wearing flip flops, floral dresses, flowers in their hair to have a tropical blast. The idea clicked everybody and they plunged into this fashion scene undauntedly, with a unique fusion of desi Pakistani taste.

The elegantly decorated, newly opened restaurant, cafe Osteria was further adorned with tropical embelishments to remind people of the Hawaiian theme. Cut-outs of parrots, tropical trees, paper flowers, Hawaiian clothes, you name it and it was there to create perfect set up. It sure felt like a breath of fresh air.

Although every member looked great, dressed for the theme but one super lady stole the show. None other than the timeless beauty, forever young and amazing, Tehmina Munir. Nobody could challenge her position, when she put her sun goggles on, wore floral 'lei' in the neck and made a 'hula' move. She was declared first, rightaway! Among others, Hania Shahid looked splendid. Sidra Bakhtawar appeared stunning. Zahra Hussain and Minayal, cute as ever. Romana Tanvir, truly youthful. Rabia Bosan and her daughter Mamoona, dazzling like always. Rameen and Zahra Basset, truly ravishing. And the hi-tea was more of a late lunch. Scrumptious in every possible way. Whereas, the hostesses extended great hospitality, conducted games and kept their guests entertained. We admire the efforts of the hosts and the team of Cafe Osteria. Well done everybody!

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...
