The hostesses,
Iram Mannan, Umbreen Qureshi, Nadia Amir, Dr. Shahnaz, Rukhsana Naeem, Afshaan and Riffat Abid

Friends of SOS Multan, are not afraid of any season. Even hot, summer days in beginning of July, could not prevent their plans for arranging a brunch party. Why worry, when it is meant for a cause so sacred and profound as helping the children of SOS. No worries at all, when you have Lahore Chatkhara Multan branch, under the assistance of extremely capable Hania Shahid. Once you step in the restaurant, in the company of other friends of SOS, you forget the weather condition. All that matters is this noble cause and the fun associated with it.

Hostesses of this party were Nadia Amer, Mala Asan, Rukhsana Naeem, Asma Nadeem, Afshan Waseem, Riffat Abid, Kiran Rashid, Dr. Shahnaz, Iram Mannan and Umbreen Qureshi. The venue was equally beautiful, as the hostesses and the owner of the place, Hania Shahid, together, they had extended great efforts to provide this event a perfect feel of the brunch. Flower arrangements, well lit ambiance imparted a beauteous charm to the gathering. Clad in summery outfits, friends of SOS, fluttered all over the place like butterflies.

The hostesses were truly sweet. Their hospitality was admirable. Specially, Nadia Amir, Umbreen Qureshi and Iram Mannan reached out and made sure, each guest was properly attended and entertained. Indeed, a lot of care shown by them.

Rameen Anis gave a presentation about ongoing activities at the village. She mentioned that during the holy month of Ramadan, there was not a single sehri or aftari, which went unsponsored in the village. She also made requests to donate skins of their sacrificial animals for the children of SOS, as Eid-ul-Adha was approaching. Saadia Yaqoob also joined in and narrated few stories of how SOS village Multan is making a difference in the lives of underpriviliged children.

The show could not be complete, without appearance of those, for whom the event had taken place. Dressed in stunningly beautiful and bright traditional clothes, children could not hold their smiles. They performed on folk tunes, received admiration and enjoyed being part of the gathering.

At the end, superb variety of brunch menu was served. There were parathas, naans, Nihari, tikka, halwa poori, etc, for the traditional breakfast lovers. Whereas, there were waffles, pan-cakes, French toasts, etc, for those who had Western tastes. Rounds and rounds of tea, coffee and lassi were served. Everybody enjoyed to their hearts content.

We congratulate the hostesses and organizers for putting a brilliant show. Well-done, ladies!

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...
