As the follower of this blog FarihaMunirShahTimes must be aware, Fariha personally handles/runs/manages two committee groups. First, FMS committee and the other Media committee, Shahnaz Nasir is member of both. It was her turn to party in FMS committee she decided to hold them together. As she recently learned that her husband has been transferred to Lahore and soon they have to move to a new place. She wanted, members of both the committee groups to enjoy her hospitality together.

June was a hot brooding month in the city of saints, yet she took the pains and arranged dinner with 'Lakhnavai theme' at her home. Invited all the members to wear traditional formal dresses, shararas, ghararas, sarees to adorn 'begum look', like some nawab's family.

The program included, recitation of poetry, 'mushaira', singing and games. All the members participated enthusiastically. Tasawur Shirin, who is a poetess presented her poems. Farah Farhan amazed everyone by her melodious singing. Hafsah Ali Siddiqui, Seerat Fatima, Rubina Rauf everyone, including Fariha Munir, shared their favorite excerpts from poetry or their orignial poetry.

Shahnaz Nasir had beautifully decorated her place according to the theme, fairylights, candles, flowers bouquets everywhere and she gifted everyone traditional pouches and rings, as welcome gift. Her guests were surprised to see the variety of her 'Laknavi' cuisine. Everyone was simply in awe of her kind hospitality.

Thanks a lot dear Shahnaz, you put so much efforts in blazing heat of July and prepared an awesome feast for all your friends. Your kindness, care and compassion will never be forgotten. No matter where you go you will remain a part of our hearts and minds.

Now, looking forward to her farewell party. Adieus!!
