Glimpses of the event

Corona Times do not seem to be fading. 'The new normal' is becoming common. We are adapting to this unusual life of wearing masks, using sanitizers and staying at home as much as possible. Yet, whenever, there is decrease in the cases and relaxation in SOPs, in a desire to return to the 'old normal', we try to get back to our old social routines. Such was the state on Sunday, 27th June 2021, when Mahwish Abdulhaq and Khawaja Abdul Haq organized another interactive talk show, from the platform of Enlightened Multan. The topic was 'successful parents, successful children'. The renowned speaker, Mr. Salman Asif Siddiqui was invited all the way from Karachi. The program was scheduled to take place in Arts council, but as we live in unpredicted times, the venue was converted to Corona vaccination center. So, it had to be moved to Noor Mahal marquee.

Q and A session had great participation by the audience. It proved, the audience were woke and quite learned in their own way. Not only they cognized, what the speaker delivered but also shared their own knowledge, learning and experiences at this platform.

Despite the scorching summer heat, the turnover at this event was remarkable. The spacious seating areas were completely full. Chilled water bottles were served to the audience to keep them comfortable. Whereas, magnificent chandeliers, regal interiors and flawless air-conditioning, kept the ambiance soothing and relaxing. 

At the end, father of Khawaja Abdul Haq, Mr. Khawaja Muhammed Iqbal presented the shield to the speaker. Mrs. Khadeeja Iqbal, mother of Khawaja Abdul haq was also present at the occasion, to support her son and daughter inlaw's efforts to enlighten their native city.
