After 18 years of graduation and not knowing what everybody has been through after graduation, there came a day when some courageous people of 82-87 session arranged & invited all others to share their experiences of all these years. It was warm winter evening of 25th of December 2005, when more than 65 class fellows including at least six “girls” gathered in the halls of Chenab Club to share their life stories after leaving the college. The premises chosen suited the occasion due to its representation of the rich culture of this vibrant city of Faisalabad. Chenab club represents the true flavour of Faisalabad & has close association with the Punjab Medical College.

At about 1 o’clock people started to arrive, there were warm hugs and occasional vows on seeing each other after such a long time. Certainly everyone recognised each other but some reminding of the real names was required where age related nominal aphasia was inevitable and certain disbelief in the change of persona surprised others. Most people met each other for the first time after departing from the alma mater.

The meeting started with the recitation of the verses from the Holy Quran by Dr Mazhar Jhangvi. The hosts welcomed everyone and asked all participants to share their experiences and achievements of the last eighteen years. To this most responded with their educational and professional achievements mixed with their marital life. It was satisfying to know that all except Dr Liaqat Shah were monogamous. There were few bachelors and marital achievement award was won by Dr Anwer Ch who proudly announced his success in becoming film star Rani’s son-in-law.

After a lavish dinner old times were back every body joked and laughed, old grievances were forgotten and promises were made to keep in touch. The warmth of the winter sunshine was truly matched by the spirits of the participants. Soon it was getting dark and people started looking at their watches especially those who travelled from Sahiwal, Wah cantt, Pindi Islamabad and Mianwali. Every one hurriedly exchanges their visiting cards and hugged again to say good bye and promised to be at the same place same time next year. Organisers Drs Mohammad Asif, Sheikh Sajid, Mian Mansoor, Hashmat Rao and Khurram (Sanghara) deserve special thanks for arranging such a memorable and emotional get together.
