Dinner hosted by Asmat Saleem
Wednesday, 02 January 2008 10:52
Asmat Saleem hosted an exotic dinner for his entry mates belonging to the 17th Entry (1970-75) at his residence in Islamabad on the first day of 2008. This was the largest single gathering of 17th Entry, where twenty seven Abdalian's alongwith their wives gathered in a long time. Ofcourse, other than the food and going down memory lane, the buzz word of the evening was the assasination of Benazir Bhutto.
Shuja Hassan Khan and Usman Amir Khan were also present, as they were visiting Pakistan from the UK. Some people were meeting these two after a period of 20 years or so. Asmat's wife had prepared a wonderful meal, with excellent desserts and qehwa later. Despite being a working day, the gathering was very well attended with dispersal around midnight. PBS gave an emotional 2 minute speech on the role of an Abdalian and the forthcoming elections scheduled fro 27th January, 2008.
