Mahwish Abdulhaq with Hafsa Ali and Mahwish with her son Musa

March is the month of flowers and fragrances, this was exactly what Mahwish Abdulhaq, (famous for her project Enlightened Multan) had in mind to celebrate her turn to throw a party in FMS committee party. She selected 'flowers fiesta' as theme for the event. When she floated the plan among other members, they pooled in their own ideas too. Floral clothes, hair styled with flowers, garlands.

Yet, what unfolded when they reached Mahwish's respledent house, surprised everyone. Nobody could have imagined the amount of the flowers which adorned the place. Vases and vases, full of flowers. Garlands for the guests, bouquets for the winners of different games planned by Mahwish and her children.

Mahwish's children, Hanifa, Musa and had planned a T20 for the guests. All of them were taken to the lawns, where wickets, bats and balls awaited them. Musa and his brother lead as captains and they picked their players from the group of their mothers, Mahwish Abdulhaq's friends gathered there.

The excitement was astounding. Ladies threw away their heels and shoes aside and were in the lawn, all set to play. Batting, balling , fielding. Unexpected fun and entertainment which Mahwish's family had surprised everybody with. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Both teams played well, blamed eachother of cheating, fought and laughed together. Finally the result was in a draw.

All the running around and play had left ladies' stomachs rumbling and Mahwish had a scrumptious feast awaiting them. Generous variety of food and drinks on the menu. Unlimited supply of tea, coffee arrived later.

Finally, Mahwish disclosed, she had some surprise prizes for the members. Rabia Bosan was voted best dressed lady, Tasawur Shirin and Zaneb Raza best players from each team, Sarah Bilal all rounder. Shahnaz Nasir was crowned, flower queen of the event. Whereas, Fariha Munir received the bouquet for reaching first at the venue.

All the members loved the party and Mahwish's beautiful house. Specially the drawing and dinning room, designed and decorated by Qasim Yaar Tiwana received a lot of admiration.

It was an amazing evening, made extra special by the efforts of Mahwish and her children. Well done all of you. You have been great entertainers. Thanks a lot for your generous and kind hospitality. Lots of love your way.

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.
