CMC 20 years laterFebruary 24th 2009
During my recent visit to Bangladesh, I took a whirlwind trip to CMC. Thanks to my friend Dr Rupen Ryeed, we started from Dhaka on the 24th February and reached
CMC campus around 3 PM. After visiting campus, main hostel. Patenga beach on 24th, we started back for
Dhaka on 25th morning. Could not meet Quadery Sir, Emran Sir and others as we had to cut short our trip
after hearing Pilkhana BDR news.

Jhhal Bitan fed me till my last day at the campus. That was January 01, 1994.

Jhhal Bitan: The managers, the menu and the dress of those table boys and glass boys did not change. Glass boys also will upgrade your lunch experience by switching glass water with sealed bottles of mineral water.

We ordered beef bhuna, daal, shrimp-shabji, fish. Back in those days, two of us shared one beef and keep asking for jhol.

Pasta Renasha is a new addition to Deluxe bakery and Jhhal Bitan. Café Rose now is New Café Rose. Taher Bhai is now a free man. No more yelling from father in law .

has moved up to second floor

I see a lot of new names of old CMC institutions. It will be helpful if the naming plaque contained background and brief bio of the person being honored.

The Library: Individual study tables are new additions since I was there last time. The small holes are still there to borrow
reference books.

The garden in Mojammel Chottor and the rain shed is new for me.
![Page 19: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The post office is in same place, Doctors cafeteria is gone, that place is now the Agrani Bank. The small newspaper stand holds its size and location.
![Page 21: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
South side of the hospital lobby now has a drug store. And west side remains open after the bank has moved next to Post office.

Grills and collapsible gates in open north/ main entrance of hospital lobby narrowed the open access. A bangle clad uncovered dead body was blocking the narrow main entrance.
The hospital lobby now has a TV .
![Page 23: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Emergency has moved to east end of the hospital building ( In front of ladies hostel). Psychiatry ward and Emergency ( Casualty) has exchanged spaces.
![Page 24: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
East end of the college building which we used to enter anatomy labs has become a marketplace. Thanks to the ER and the public toilet next door
![Page 25: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
There is always a crowd in front of the ladies hostel
![Page 26: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Immediately after entering ER, you will see these two rooms.
![Page 27: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Something changes, some things do not. Hospital campus now has its own uniformed security regiment
![Page 28: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
You no longer have to bang to call the elevators. The hospital has all new elevators. A lot of effort has been made to beautify the hospital with gardens.
![Page 29: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hospital gallery. I guess the dust and the
spider web from our days are still there.
![Page 30: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Coronary Care Unit. Can CMC NA Alumni raise the funds to ensure free supply of ECG papers
and other supplies at least in the CCU?
![Page 31: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The students union-cafeteria building has just been demolished, possibly for new structure. A building boom is going on in the campus. Every inch of open space within the hospital building and the campus is being filled with concrete
![Page 32: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The walk way through the hill to the main hostel. The trees were just being planted when I was a student. 20 years later, campus hills are completely tree covered. Protecting those trees and allowing them to grow is definitely a great achievement of the relevant authority
![Page 33: CMC Trip](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55a2795e1a28ab12618b45ee/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

You come to main hostel from the campus. We all walked this way thousands of times. Something never changes.

Mansur bhai’s brother Hossain bhai now runs the day shift. Monsur bhai runs the night shift (Till 3 AM). Everything is unchanged except the size of the banana. The bananas are now much bigger no doubt. They don’t taste as great though.
