FMS committee members collage
Due to great public demand, FMS committee circle restarted on 1st February 2024. As the general elections 2024 were nearing, everyone tried to wrap their social activities before something unexpected happened.
New committee group consists of the members, who were already a part of the previous bunch. Some, who wished to join it previously but could not, as the members already there wanted to keep it short. In this turn too, many learned later and wished to join but Fariha Munir Shah, who runs this committee thanked them for their love and apologized, she said otherwise this would go on forever.
The venue was Fariha Munir's house, Al-Makhdoom. She believes, there is a personalized touch of care and convenience when get togethers for ladies are conducted in the homely atmosphere. The host does not have to rush anywhere and delightfully welcomes the guests at home. Also, the pardah observing ladies do not have to worry about it, as catering is mostly carried out by the female house helpers at home. Fariha is grateful to Allah for providing her a majestic house, where she keeps on adding adornments time after time, so she likes her friends to visit and have a good time with her and what is better an event than arranging a committee party, what she is going to manage.
It was an informal hi-tea plan. No serious themes selected, just a casual meetup and chit chat over munching. Everyone turned up looking at their best. Although, it was not a one dish party but Mahwish Abdulhaq, a distinguished member brought a massive serving of 'mutanjan' (the sweet rice) generously loaded with dry fruits and sweetmeats. It turned out to be the star of the desi cuisine and everybody loved it.
As February 12th is Fariha Munir's birthday, but she had plans to travel abroad on the date later, so her baker daughter, the owner of The little cake company by Zahra Shah surprised her with a resplendent tall Lambeth style snickers cake, alongwith lots of French macrons which are her specialty. Guests were amazed by the taste and quality, the magic of Zahra Shah's excellent baking skills.
Aasma Salman brought the delicious biscuits and tea cakes from the latest, most happening bakery in town called 'Raheem bakehouse' that she is an owner of, which Fariha's family enjoyed for many days. Alongwith many ther gifts, Aasma Khan brought the most delectable 'Sohan halwa' ever. It was so delicious, it was taken into home police custody by Dr. Munir Shah, so that Fariha does not over eat it.
Kiran Doggar, Freeha Ismail, Dr. Munazza Nasir, Rabia Bosan, Sobia Rizwan, Aasma Khan, Sarrah Bilal, Hafsah Ali Siddiqui, Uzma Gillani, Aasma Salman, Mona Gillani, Mahwish Abdulhaq, Uzma Khan, Yasmeen Awan and Shazia Arshad were the committee members. Whereas, Mahnaz Amir Sheikh, Masooma Sibtain, Shahnaz Nasir, Rabia Wahid, Mariam Farrukh, Rubina Rauf and Asifa Sajid Siddqui (being the neighbor) were present as friends of Fariha and honorable guests at the event.
Fariha is truly thankful for their presents and the lovely presents they brought along.
Not to forget the three beautiful silent members of this committee, AfshanNoreen Qaisrani, Sabahat Qaisrani from Lahore , who were a part of the previous term as well, now joined by Saima Qaisrani from London, UK. On her joining the committee Rabia Bosan expressed that Afshan and Sabahat's presence made this group national, but with arrival of Saima it has now reached an international. Truly a cute perception.
We hope and expect, a smooth sailing for this cycle, as the previous ones completed with an astounding success. Best of luck and best of times to all the members.
