Lahore Chapter Get Together
Thursday, 10 December 2009

This time it was in spanking new Defense Club FF Block, DHA Lahore. Most of us had not see the place that was discovered and selected by Col Athar for December Get Together 55 PMA Lahore Chapter (thanks Athar for making it possible for all of us). The facility is nice and you still can have it to yourself.

Lahore is one of the cities where we have largest number of 55 PMA officers living (it is number 2 after Rawalpindi). The attendance was good. By 9 PM, around 30 members along with their families (Bring Zahir Khan, Athar, Najeeb, Baqar, Maqsod, Nouman, Hafiz, Abbas Khan, Waqar, Shafi, Tariq Fazal , Attiq, Tasawar, Khalid Javed, Sultan, Jamil and kids) had arrived. In addition to the same “you too,” “me too,” updates, still some more recollection of memories, we all had a very sumptuous and hot dinner.

The high point of the evening was Muhammad Jamil Akhtar and his wife (very loving couple) who had come from Canada and joined us for the evening. Plan of the get together in the middle of the week (Dec 9, 2009) was for Jamil because he is leaving back on Dec 11, 2009.

Some of us took a chance to tell Mrs Jamil all the good things they could remember about him while he distributed his business card and some gifts. Muhammad Jamil Akhtar also gave donation to the course fund. She was genuinely and pleasantly surprised to see the amount of love among the members of 55 PMA and for Jamil and she shot some of the moments with video camera. Jamil says he will send the video and if he does, you will see it here.

I felt even better than the earlier such gatherings as I was not carrying any administrative or organisational responsibility. Athar and Abbass did a wonderful job in organising a beautiful evening for us. Shirazi desrves appreciation for his PR role. ZAHIR KHAN
