A grandma and grandson birthday party

Cakes cutting ceremony by Grandma and grandson in full swing

The true beauty about parties thrown by Mr. Ahsan and Mrs. Mala Ahsan is that, they arrange family gatherings. So, the wives do not have to worry about taking care of their husbands or the couples do not need to worry about finding some baby sitter. This family invites you as family and with whole hearted generosity, if you have guests, they tell you to bring them along. Obviously, this phenomenon has its own soothing effect and at the end, everything turns out to be amazing.

Recently, on 5th May Mala and Ahsan celebrated together, birthday of their son, Annas Rasheed and his grandma, Mrs. Raheed (Ahsan's mom) and named it a 'grand love celebration'. That's exactly what it turned out to be. A respledent event arranged at the ostentatiously decorated, regal, interior portion of MGM (Multan Garrison Mess). Where separate sitting areas were dedicated for ladies and gentlemen.

Mala Ahsan, like always played the role of an extra-ordinary hostess. Who not only appeared dazzling, remained hospitable, but went on to further enhance the magnificent layout and ambiance of party halls. Mala opted for arches made of flowers and of baloons as well. The round table meant for 'cake cutting ceremony' was loaded with White flowers from all sides and presented an amazing view, right under the aristocratic chandlier, hanging inside the central dome. Almost all the halls were reserved as sitting and dinning areas for the guests of this party. Extending the comfortable, homely feeling.

There were laughters, there were cheers. Everything and everyone looked grand. Mrs. Rasheed, the grand-birthday girl remained her chirpy self. Enthusiastically replying to all the birthday greetings. Ahsan Rasheed family looked beautiful. Their girls Aasiya, Aafreen and Azka Rani are fast growing up to be pretty ladies, quite hospitable, just like their mom and what to say about the handsome young birthday boy. He is a born hero, with lots of talents and a lot of style. Author of this blog feels great to remember the long association with this family. These children have sprung up, infront of everybody's eyes. Almost all the birthday parties arranged by them, over half a decade, became a part of FarihaMunirShahTimes. Indeed, cherishable!

As mentioned above, the cake cutting ceremony took place in the central hall. Where everybody gathered and joined in the celebration of Mrs. Rasheed and Anass Raheed. Clapping and singing, 'happy birthday to you', over sparklers and candles. There were separate cakes for both the birthday celebs, but they cut them together. Later, a scrumptious, sumptious dinner was served in a separate hall and the party came to an end.
