Friends are like embellishments, their presence adds beauty to ordinary lives. Being social animals, humans tend to flock together with their own type. At some places, opposites attract but mostly, happy people surround themselves with their own kind. Such people keep looking for occasions when they can share their joys with their loved ones. They never forget the special days of the people who are dear to them, specially birthdays of their friends.

There is a trend in the city of saints that you do not have to celebrate your birthday. Your friends are always there to perform this service for you. They get together and throw a party to show their love for you. September is the month of birthdays of many a stunning girls. Zahra Bassat and Mala Ahsan are among them. They are also blessed to have such loving friends, who do not let their special days pass without celebration. So, on 12th September, on the day of the most loving and happening gorgeous girl Zahra Bassat's birthday, a lunch was arranged in Mariam hall of Ramada hotel Multan. This party also served as a pre-birthday party for the beautiful Mala Ahsan, who had her birthday, only two days later, on 14th September.

It was a small but beautiful affair. Thanks to the lovely Saima Faisal, who personally handled all the arrangements of the party. A special, separate hall for the party. Flower arrangements laid on the tables and a gracefully decorated sofa setting for the tea. Saima was also first to be at the party, alongwith Fariha Munir. Zahra Bassat looked glowing and glorious in her beautiful Fawn colored dress, as cheerful, as a birthday girl should be. So did Mala, in her springy Yellow outfit. Everybody seemed to be in a mood to enjoy. Haniya Shahid requested Zahra Bassat for singing but Fariha Munir volunteered for the purpose but gave up after uttering few verses. Whereas, Zahra Bassat, truly surprised her friends with her melodious voice and ability to sing.

As it was a birthday party, the participants came up with a small game at the spot, which they named 'guess the age'. All of them, had to guess the age of each girl present at the party. Many a shocks and revelations occurred, when the guesses went wrong and the person in question appeared older or younger than the assumed. The greatest surprise came from Azima Khakwani and she was truly admired for her honesty. We would like to refer to all these ladies as young girls, but it had all age group representatives. Mrs. Zahida Sabih, Azima Khakwani, Saadiya Yaqoob, Rameen Anis, Shazia Fareed, Rabia Bosan, Saima Failsal. A little younger lot, like Mona Jahanzeb, Maimoona Qasim, Eesha Faisal and Misbah Ali. An even younger category was also present in form of Zahra Shah and Hajra Shah. Anyway, it turned out to be a true happening crowd.

The lunch was a perfect example of fine-dinning and was served in courses on the seats. First came the soup with bread sticks and garlic bread, followed by beautifully dressed salad and the main course. Then desert at the end. The guests felt, as if they were the judges of Masterchef and were enjoying tasting finest of cuisines. The presentation was immaculate. Female servers were also there among the staff, perfectly dressed in tuxedos and gloves, something not very common in Multan. We truly admire, the fine-dinning ambiance and presentation of the staff at Ramada, particularly at this event.

The cake cutting ceremony took place at the separate sitting area, beautifully decorated with flowers and artifacts. The cakes were made by The Little Cake Company by Zahra Shah. Decorated with sugar cookies, French macrons The little chef personally brought the delicious cakes. All the diet conscious ladies, who are usually reluctant to take even a bite, could not resist and thoroughly enjoyed the cakes and applauded Zahra Shah's skills as a cake maker. Well done, the little chef of the little cake company.

It was indeed, one fabulous afternoon, dedicated to friends and the gorgeous birthday girls. We extend our warmest wishes to Zahra Bassat and Mala Ahsan for an even brighter future and an even greater life.

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...

She was determined to uplift and raise their standards of living, through education and trainings. She was among first people to ever demand a separate university for the girls of Multan and remained persistent about it. Finally, it bore fruit, three decades later, in form of women's university Multan.  Not just education, but she has worked for the social and economic empowerment of the women too. She is the president of Ladies club Multan. A social platform, which exists fo...
