Bangladeshi Professionals in NC area


I've been to my friend Pabitra Saha in NC for the last few days. He's a famous cardiologist working in the Health Center in East Carolina University. In the past we spent so many beautiful days in our boyhood. Both me & Pabitra are from the same rural background(with limited earnings of our parents). He studied medicine - me Economics. He settled in USA after his medical degree from Bangladesh. I choose to serve my government. But after long 22 years, I met him at his own residence in USA. By now, he's well accomplished specialist surgeon.

On 12 Aug he took me to Dr. Kishore's house where Dr Paritosh met. Kishore & Paritosh are also from Bangladesh who're our contemproray. All of them got their basic medical degree from the Dhaka Medical College. Now all of them are accomplished professionals here in USA. Well paid, well respected. Not only them, many other Bangladeshi origin professionals are working in North Carolina area. They're helping to change the image of Bangladesh in a positive mood. We're proud of them.

What we need is not to isolate themselves from their own roots. We hope that they'd try to help Bangladesh speed up its development efforts.
