Spring celebration and annual function at ladies club by Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar and group

Glimpses of the event


The legendary and historic, 'Pardah ladies club Multan' recently turned 60 years old. The celebration of an event so auspicious, was befittingly hosted by its honorable 'lifetime president', Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar, alongwith her group, which consists of her daughters, daughters in-law and other ladies of her family.

Senior member, Mrs. Nighat Naseem, former general secretary of this club, Mrs. Mahnaz Amir and Farah Faisal, Fatima Fazal, Rabia Rehman, Fadia Kashif, Ambreen Fawad were among the hostesses.

On 11th February, a magnificent function was arranged at ladie club Multan. The members of the club were requested to dress in the bright hues of Red, Yellow and Green. As it was themed, 'the colors of spring', something as bright and beautiful as all these hostesses themselves.

It was after a long time that these gorgeous ladies were finally able to take time out of their busy schedules commitments and managed to be there, as half of them have settled in Lahore on permanent basis.

An amazing celebration it was. An extravagant show reminiscing about the glorious past of this club and munificence of the hostesses. They went miles ahead in organization, planning and holding this event, where others dread to take a step. They did not compromise on anything average. Decorations, entertainment, scrumptious menu, everything was at its best. For layout and decorations the president took the services of Sapphire events by Amna Khan.

 Mahnaz Amir Sheikh, former general secretary of this club (for 17 years) and co-hostess of this event, did the compering. She invited members to start the program with recitation of Quran and naat khwani.

Then there was something extra ordinarily SPECIAL. All the hostesses gathered at the stage, with the president, Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar. Mahnaz Amir Sheikh announced there was a SURPRISE for a member and requested Fariha Munir Shah to approach the stage. Farah Faisal, also a hostess of the event and a dear friend escorted Fariha to the stage. Where a grand cake awaited them.

12th February was Fariha Munir's birthday and the hostesses expressed their love for her and honored her by combining their function with her birthday celebration. Fariha was overwhelmed and overjoyed and thanked them for this affectionate gesture.

It was followed by a superb singing performance by a very popular amateur singer of Multan, Ms. Najma Gillani. Then Mahnaz Amir invited Mrs. Fadia Kashif, the founder of 'Tarrey zameen par trust' which is also known as TZP.

Fadia is a member of the ladies club, also daughter of its president Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar and sister of Mahnaz Amir. Apart from it, seems, she has been specially picked by God as a messiah for women of the slum area and is blessed to be changing their lives for the better. Her contributions are endless. Yet, very humbly, she briefly introduced the audience about her organization and its works and invited them to be a part of it.

The pinnacle of the show was superb performance by a fabulous singer of Multan, Nadia Hashmi. She was specially called over from Lahore for the show. Her joyful and energetic singing left everybody in high spirits.

At the end there was a prize distribution for all the members of administration by the very sweet and kind Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar, and special gifts for Fariha Munir, the birthday girl.

The turnover of the members at this event was amazing, almost hundred percent. A good number of guests were there too. Saima Faisal, Zahra Bassat, Shazia Fareed, Hafsah Sohail Wasti, Ambreen Abas Khan, Rubina Rauf, Farrah Farhan, Nosheen Qureshi and Gulnaz Nawab from Nawai waqt were among them. Whereas, wife of Commissioner Multan was the guest of honor for the evening.

It was indeed a memorable day for all the members of Pardah ladies. Kites, fairy lights, bright, cheerful ambiance. Everything was truly resplendent.  One of the most beautiful functions, ladies club has ever seen. Thanks a lot dear president, Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar for giving us beautiful memories to carry in our hearts and minds. God bless you even more.

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
