Mr. Mohsin Nawaz at the forum of Enlightened Multan

Glimpses of the event

Enlightened Multan by Mahwish Abdulhaq and Khawaja Abdul Haq is first platform of its kind which originated in the city of saints. It is a charity based, non governmental organisation, totally sponsored by this amazing couple and their family.

Their work is aimed at the psychological expansion of the people of Multan. For the purpose, they invite famous, inspirational, motivational speakers from around the country and hold their sessions for enlightening purposes. They also take pains to promote and publicise them. Even if some speaker is not as famous, the months of publicity and campaigning they carry out, can make anyone famous.
Mahwish Abdulhaq and Khawaja Abdul Haq are real trend setters. Before their motivational/inspirational talk shows, such gatherings were only organised officially, or for musical evenings or religious purposes, but they decided to broaden the minds and enlighten the souls of the natives of city of saints. Where they have provided everybody a platform to talk, they are educating people to sit and listen to others as well. Their dedication and commitment to the cause is turning tides and many are following suit and holding such enlightened talk shows. Their latest event took place on 27th November at Taj Mahal marquee, Multan. The topic was, ''high achievements with limited resources'' and the speaker was an already renowned, first TV and radio host with multiple disabilities, Mr. Mohsin Nawaz.
Almighty selects people, who are truly dear to Him, for extraordinary tests in life. All the hardships that he went through, only remind him, how special he is to God. This is how Mr. Mohsin Nawaz , the esteemed speaker at occasion, perceived his life. He shared, how he was born as a naturally healthy baby and gradually the disabilities took over his life. He narrated the story, when he was thirteen years old and lost his sight, he overheard a neighbouring aunt telling his mother to wish he would die, but everything made him stronger. With the love and care of his family, within limited resources, he continued his education and achieved everything and even more what he could acquire if he was perfectly healthy. Where his life is an inspiration, the story of how his wife Mrs. Maria Mohsin beautified and fulfilled his life, restored our faith in humanity. A beautiful love story it was, truly rejoiced by the gathering. This inspiring couple was accompanied by their two handsome sons, who were constantly around him and comforting him, which sure proved, Mr. Mohsin and Maria were superb parents as well. Well done Mahwish Abdulhaq and Khawaja Abdul Haq . We congratulate them for an extremely successful event. They are such wonderful people, they acknowledged each and everyone's participation and contribution on the screens and thanked them on stage. Such humility is rare to find. Like always, my facebook community/ group, I ❤️ Multan is honoured to collaborate with Enlightened Multan for this event.

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

Annual debates at SOS Herman Gmeiner school

You look at the well mannered, disciplined, full of smiles students, extremely efficient staff members, all this makes you believe that this must be a high end school.
