Chowdhury Farooque Hosts Dinner - Nov 2010

Farooque hosted a dinner for all available course mates at Captains world on 7 Nov 2010. This party was with only course mates excluding family members. In this event, all serving and retired officers of our course forgot their age and position and started behaving so childish that it was amazing.

A Friend Abroad Pay Tribute to Fallen Course Mates


Bloody massacre of 25th February 2009 killed 8 of our beloved course mates. Mohiuddin ran 40 km on 13 June 2010 to pay his humble honor to the departed beloved friends. He is staying abroad for long time, yet, his effort to bring justice is wonderful.

You are Missing - We Miss You Really


Oh! 
কায়মনে কামনা করছি, যারা এমন নৃশংস কাজ করেছে যার ফলে তুই আমাদের মাঝে নেই, তারা যেন এই দুনিয়াতেও শাস্তি পায়। শাস্তি না দেখে মরলে মোটেই শান্তি পাব না।
সেদিন অনেক রাত অবধি আমরা সি এম এইচ অপেক্ষা করেছি। পিলখানার কাছে অবস্থানরত কোর্সমেটের তথ্য অনুসারে, বার বার পথ চেয়ে দেখেছি, এই বুঝি এম্বুলেন্স দেখা গেল, কিন্তু না, শেষ পর্যন্ত নিরাশ হতে হল। সেই কোর্সমেট, জীবনের ঝুকি নিয়ে যা জানাল তাতে সকলেই নিরাশ হলাম।

Eid Re-Union at Shafipur 25 Sep 09

It was really an event to remember. While, Masud and few other CMs worked hard to make the event a success, the center Commandant, Col Mahmood at Shafipur planned and organized the event so nicely that it became a cherish able memory.

Although it was a great gathering, 25th February incident was always keeping us sad. It was Friday and we all prayed together for the departed soul in the Mosque.

You are Always close to Our Heart

Someday we all shall join you

Had nothing to do for you

We miss you

We pray for you

Monday, 3 August 2009

We Mourn

You made us cry
You made us feel empty
We miss you

You left with pride
You took all our pride
We are bankrupt

You are hero
We feel zero
We could do nothing, except weeping

Please forgive us
Pray for us, so that we may have strength
We pray, so that you live better.

Esprit de Course

Wonderful to cherish memories like this. We were like this, We are like this and We want to remain like this are the common feelings. We are confident that we can materialize our common dream. I remember, in BMA, we believed that odd Jhonny is to be fixed and never believed that odd Jhonny is to be out. Let's remain bonded even better than before.

Picnic 06 Feb 09


Only a few days later, bloody carnage took place. We could not find Mokbul in most of our course gatherings, however, this time he was with us. We enjoyed and passed the day together. It was my last opportunity to be with him. May Allah bless him.

This event was organized very nicely in the staff college premises. Course mates, wives and few children those  participated in this event are on the photographs above.

Silver Jubilee Celebration - 8 BMA LC

It was a grand celebration held at China Bangladesh Friendship Hall. Sumptuous dinner, gifts for all, crest for all to mark the event and above all a great interaction were the key events. Spontaneous participation was really interesting.

To mark the event, Almas Ghani wrote:


Ho Ho 8th Long Course- Silver Jubilee

Seems, joined BMA just the other day
Word of commission no one ever could say,
Lost many friends in bloody rough way
Really happy to get some of them here today.

Rolled in BMA for long two years
Mixed with smile, fun and often with tears,
Golden memories we often do cherish
From our hard disk ,those will never get vanish.

We missed lovely Samad in rough green hill
Unbearable loss, really nothing could fill,
Lost Mosharraf and Mahmud(Matir Manush) on the way
For their departed soul we always do pray.

In journey of long Twenty Seven years of windy road
Inshallah, all are well at home and abroad,
Let the spirit of 8th Long Course to remain ever
Must be carried forward for years over and over.
( May be by our sons/daughters joining Armed Forces)

No matter, what you are,
And where you are
Let;s keep each others in our prayer
And remain in firm bondage with warm touch forever,

Long live the 8th Long Course
Like beautiful petals of Red Rose........

Ho ho the 8th Long Course
