A bonfire hi-tea by Rameen & Zahra Bassat in FMS committee.

The hostesses of the event,
Rameen Anis and Zahra Bassat.

The month of January had an extra ordinary party enstored for the members of FMS committee. As it was the turn of Rameen Anis and Zahra Bassat to host the event. And both the ladies are blessed to have, big, beautiful, artistically done houses. Also possess, great reputations of arranging lavish, entertaining and extremely elegant parties. So, hopes were high. And the ladies did rise to the expectations.

On 17th January, 2014, Rameen's open house awaited the guests. With a very cozy and comfortable sitting arrangement in the open lawn as well. Hawaiian torches, pegged into it. A big cauldron of bonfire placed in the middle. Garden heaters fixed near each sitting, to let the guests enjoy the crisp winter look of Rameen's well pruned, prize winning lawn. Yes! Rameen personally takes care of the horticulture inside her house and her lawn is always included in the annual spring contest, held by cantonment administration and mostly wins prizes, in one category or the other.

Rameen also extends her services as volunteer, to SOS village and SOS Herman Gmeiner school. She is one of the distinguished board members of both, the school and the village.

She is also famous for her culinary skills, mostly baking. Sometimes, on great public demand, she goes on to arrange baking classes as well (mostly at her home).

Back to the event: Rameen and Zahra had extended the invitation of their party to their friends outside FMS committee also. So, there were many non members, there as well. But each and every girl (as we select to call them) appeared gorgeous in the winter styled clothes. Do not forget Rameen is well known for carrying herself in great style, which definitely compels others, to show up at her parties at their best.

And Rameen's style statement is evident in everything she does. The beautiful decoration of her house and the way it is maintained, speaks volumes about her aestheic sense. Even for the party, her efforts could be witnessed, through the flower arrangements, the candle lit everywhere and the general ambiance that reflected beauty, from every corner.

Zahra Bassat also helped Rameen, in the layout and decorations of the dinning table. Rameen's sister in law, Mrs. Tehmina Munir was also there to lend a hand. But Rameen had already perfected the whole arrangement. From the forks and spoons, to the scrumptious display of the etables, everything was sparkling.Telling stories of the great effort put on them.

Anyway, it turned out to be an extremely pleasing get together. We appreciate the efforts made by the hostesses and look forward to seeing, more of their partying on FarihaMunirShahTimes. Very well done, ladies!!!

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...

Annual debates at SOS Herman Gmeiner school

Glimpses from the event When you first visit SOS Herman Gmeiner school Multan, you are amazed by its majestic architectural design, beautifully decorated class rooms, functional libraries, meticulously pruned playgrounds, clean walkways and glistening environment. 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. To be honest, it is equally great in all its standards. Rather better in some, as they have Rosetta Stone library, through its audio/video English learning methods, children of this school have acquired exceptional accents and perfect pronunciations. Each student has access to laptop in computer class, their teachers use smartboard alongwith blackboard. Even their teachers are assessed and guided with the help of executive committee members.

Maria BB's dholki at Tehmina Munir's

Glimpses of the resplendent event at Tehmina Munir's house. SOS children's village Multan is a little wonderland. Where children are raised with all the love in the world. No blood relatives are required for the purpose, as SOS villages have their own family system and nurture a congenial environment. A village consists of several houses. Each house is an abode to ten children. Looked after by a lady, appointed as 'mother'. She is responsible for taking care of the household chores and of the children like a mother. In short, it is made sure, they receive the affection of sisters, brothers and a mother. If there are siblings residing in the village, it is ensured, they are housed together. So, they are not deprived of their blood relations as well. For the rest, the generous and kind 'friends of SOS' are always there to extend their loving gestures. The monthly committee party system is adopted to keep them actively involved in the life at SOS village and en...
