Thick humid air of  July, brings joys of unusual treats for Multani'ites. Flavours of Mangoes, cooling showers of monsoon, warm glow of the summer sun. The weather encourages the constant flirtation of the clouds with the sun. The romance between mid-summer breeze and the heat, reaches new heights. Unfortunately; not many of the natives, stay in this city to witness, such affairs of the mother Nature, during this month. Anyway; those who get back from their trips to faraway lands or choose to stay here this season, because of some reason, partying remains a great option.        Filza , is among few of those lucky people, who had the opportunity to perform Umra, just few days ago & also, it was her turn to throw a party & receive the amount in FMS' committee. Filza's partner was Mrs. Aziza Naseem Pitafi, who could not attend the party due to some commitments & she was represented by her daughter instead. Filza invited everybody for  hi-tea...

On Sunday, 6th May. A group of little pirates, with their eye patches, shiny swords & head scarves, invaded the house of Anas Rasheed & declared him the 'captain of the crew'. All this happened by the consent of Anas' gorgeous mom, Shimaila Jabeen (lovingly known as MALA by her friends). Mala & her husband Mr. Ahsan Rasheed are few of the fortunate ones, who are young, good looking, possess great ideas & means, which allow them to hold great parties. Also blessed with four lovely kids, Aasiya, Aafreen, Azka & Anas, their birthdays, beautiful reasons to celebrate, provide their wonderful parents, a chance to party all the year round.

The invitation card was Black, with a white skull, held in swords. Th...

As we all know, the women of today, have their own way of socialising with friends. And one of the most popular ways, here in Multan, is to join some 'committee party' ; or as some would like to refer as 'kitty party'. Women, take time out of their busy schedules, to dress-up, look nice & party with other ladies. These committee parties are great social tools to bring women together. Strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends & this is how friendships flourish, for many, in these modern times. For the information of those, who don't know, what these parties actually are, here is a piece of information.
