Pakistan Philatelic Association Lahore (PPA) Meeting for the Month of October 2024:-

On the second Sunday of October i.e. 13th of October in the afternoon, our meeting was held in Lahore. The meeting looked more like a get together than a meeting, in which around 25 to 30 friends participated.

Now, people enjoy this gathering very much and everyone's arrival continues with great enthusiasm and all the friends are engaged in heartily conversation and gossip, which makes it seem like as if no one is in a hurry to return.

This meeting of ours has turned from the traditional style to a gathering with friendly and brotherly atmosphere. All the friends talk and exchange information related to their hobbies, according to their heart’s desire. So, Alhamdulillah this time too, the atmosphere was enjoyable.

For some time, there were continuous group discussions, during which our permanent host Jameel Bhatti had arranged tea and sweet meats outside the meeting hall, so while all the friends were engaged in conversation, hot samosas and crispy jalebi were also. All the attendees also exchanged, bought and sold various items and few hours went by in this without anyone realizing.
