Dawn All About Lifestyle Exhibition

It was an afternoon well spent, actually. And for a number of reasons.

1. The Lahore Nostalgia: A kaleidoscopic journey

Two of my Alma Maters, Government College University and King Edward Medical University adorned the wonderful collection of old and new Lahore photographs. The pride! And the magic of black in white!








2. Meeting Chef Gulzar

Hallelujah! The one single cooking show I actually get to follow regularly nowadays (thanks to WAPDA) is Live @ 9 on Masala. And to my utter surprise I bumped into Chef Gulzar at the Food Court. (Nouman later told me I was gushing buttery praise at him. Like the aunties who call on his show.) By the way, Gulzar promised to mention my name and make a cake for me on his show. As I said, Hallelujah!



3. The Dog Show

An over-agile dalmatian won the Best Dog Award. He wasn't my favourite though. A little dachshund should have won. The sausage. The hot-dog!


4. The FM Lady

A pretty lady from FM89 was doing a survey on their shows. And she filled my form for me as I munched a KFC ka Zinger in a very ungentlemanly fashion. But food comes first, na. She should have known. But she did hand me the 89voucher. And it had this Mondo Bizaarro postcard: my favourite show on 89! Tada!


5. Getting Lost
Oh yeah, we lost our way. Couldn't actually find where the whole event was hapening. Roamed the whole premises of Fortress. And finally came to know the arena was just behind the car park. Leh!

I had actually been serious. Because in the two pics with Chef sahib, none of the guys resembled the picture in your blog About thing.

I like Chef Gulzar - is he as cuddly (but slightly scary)looking in the flesh as he is on the TV?

Saad Javed said...

Thank you, for visiting, sumera. Gulzer was EXCEPTINALLY nice. He's down really down to earth and he let me talk nonstop and smiled at my bongees. lol
