  • From Us to You:Messages to Batchmates

    These messages are from our batchmates who agreed to share their messages for those that they missed and even those batch mates they never spoke to!

     Live long, healthy and happy. We are among few last batches who passed our MBBS without outright cheating and we should be proud of that.

    Dr.Debleena Basu

    Dear friends,

    As we gather to celebrate this Silver Jubilee Reunion, let us take a moment to reflect on our journey as healthcare professionals. Our demanding profession, though fulfilling, has often taken a toll on our physical and mental well-being. In recent years, we have witnessed the untimely loss of young doctors—friends, colleagues, and loved ones—reminding us of the fragility of life.

    It is crucial for us to prioritize our health, something we often overlook in our dedication to others. Regular health check-ups are not just a necessity but a responsibility we owe to ourselves and our families. Equally important is nurturing our mental well-being. A cheerful and peaceful mind can be a powerful antidote to the stresses we face daily.

    Let us pledge to find joy in the little things, spend quality time with our loved ones, and embrace hobbies that rejuvenate our spirits. Striking a balance between work and life is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

    As we celebrate this milestone, let’s take an oath to meet again in our Golden Jubilee Reunion, healthier, happier, and stronger as a family of healers and friends.

    “To care for others, we must first care for ourselves. Happiness is not a destination; it is a way of life.”

    Here’s to the memories we’ve made, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the bonds we’ve forged. May the coming years bring us more strength, joy, and togetherness.

            Warm regards,

             Dipankar Naskar 

    From Dr.Indranil Mallick

     Hi everyone,

    I hope you all are doing well! As we’ve moved into our clinical practice phase, I thought it would be valuable for us to share our experiences and insights with each other.

    Whether it’s challenges we’re facing, interesting cases we’ve encountered, or tips and tricks that have helped us navigate the clinical environment, I believe we can learn a lot from one another.

    It might be helpful to set up a virtual meeting or even a group chat to facilitate these discussions. What do you all think? Let me know your thoughts, and if there’s interest, we can choose a time that works for everyone.


    Dr.Sabyasachi Sengupta: Same as I have written 25 years ago  ” Jiyo,
    muskurayo, khus raho, keya pata kaal ho na ho ”

    Dr.Utpal Samanta -I am very lucky being your batch mate.


    Dr .Sandip Saha: love you all

    Keep smiling as ever and heal your patient with affection and humility passionately. Luv you all-Dr.Alok Kumar Singh

    Dr.Sajib Chakraborty

    LOVE AND WORK. 

    NO WORRIES ( HAKUNAMATATA)

    Dr.Ahitagni Biswas:STAY WELL AND KEEP IN TOUCH. BEST WISHES.

    Dr.Pritosh  Srivastava:I am blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. I cherish every moment we spent together.

    Dr.Joyashree Bannerjee:Always stay Happy and Healthy. Keep in touch. 

    Dr.Puspen Mandi
    – Truth be told, I still can’t believe it will be 25 years since we entered those hallowed gates of Medical College ! Since then, most of us have progressed far in life, both professionally and personally. During all these years for most of us it’s been difficult to meet-up due to professional & other circumstances. But I’m sure that regardless of distance all of us including me have felt happy in celebrating achievements of fellow batchmates, felt sadness for our losses, and sometimes bitter & disappointed when our views didn’t align with each other.

    What I will always believe that there’s more to us than that ! As our world becomes increasingly geopolitically volatile & climate catastrophe looms large, I fear for the fate of our future generation.

    For us & our descendents, I believe in the what “SAMWISE the Brave” said in “LORD OF THE RINGS :THE TWO TOWERS”

    “That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.”

    Dr.Chandrashish Chakravarty:I hope this companionship will bring a breath of fresh air amidst the gloom prevailing in the medical profession.

    Dr.Chandrashish Chakravarty:All the best!

    Dr.Rubik Ray:It is said that true friendships are formed when life is young and when there are no reasons. After that time, there are only colleagues , co-workers and acquaintances . I have found this to be wholly true. So cherish your old friends always. There is nothing better or purer.

    Dr.Shaktirupa Ballav :BONDHU , CHOL

    Dr.Sharmistha Daripa:Stay connected, stay united.

    Dr.Debashish Char দেখা হবে….

    Dr.Arunava Chakraborty: I am eagerly waiting to meet you all”

    Dr.Debarati Pathak:so happy to meet you all soon.

    Dr.Shaswati Sengupta:Let`s connect – with family, friends, life & nature.

    Dr.Vineet Agarwal:Dear Friends, Its amazing to think that it is 25 years since we joined our alma mater in 2000. We have shared so many memories from late night study sessions to fun gatherings, from politics to love. Our bond has only grown stronger over the years. Let’s cherish the memories and celebrate our achievements. Here’s to many more years of success and happiness together again.

    Dr.Diptanshu Das Let’s stay in touch. Those words good always that we will always remember. It feels as if just a short duration back, and it seems unbelievable that almost quarter of a century has passed since our meeting each other for the first time. What?

    Dr.Biplab Tudu :Fir milenge

    Dr.Suhas Das-তোদের মিস করি 

    Dr.Pradip Kr.Mandal –Keep in touch

    Dr.Sandip Sardar: It’s an honor to see the incredible journeys we’ve all embarked upon since our time at CMC. Let’s continue to inspire and support each other in making a meaningful impact in healthcare and society.

  • Poems from the Ice Age তুষার যুগের খান কতক কবিতা

    সৌম্য ঘোষ

    কিছুই সঙ্গে থাকবে না


    কিছুই সঙ্গে থাকে না
    তবু রয়ে যাবে এই মন, ক’টা কথা আর ক’খানা কবিতা।

    এখানে তাপের বহর
    ঝলসানো রসনার বসন ছেড়ে লু-র মতো নিথর জীবন
    সেসব কথা রইল আমার মর্মর কবিতায়,
    বাষ্পায়িত লালসার আগল ছিঁড়ে এক বিরল নীরবতায়।

    যেদিন কাকভোরে নামবে কুয়াশা, ঢেকে যাবে রোদ
    সবাই ব্যস্ত থাকবে তাপ পোহাতে
    কি এমন তাপ আছে আমার, ছড়িয়ে দেব!
    কি এমন তাপ আছে আমার কবিতার, ঠিকরে পড়বে!
    তবু জানি এ তাপ বিলীন হবে না হিমাঙ্কে
    তুষার চাপা পড়েও জেগে থাকবে নদীর মতো,
    তুষার যুগের খান কতক কবিতা।

  • Turning back the clock -it’s year 2000 again

    If you could turn back the clock and it’s 2000 again what would you do ?That’s something I often wondered .That’s the reason I asked this question to my batch mates and here’s a few interesting gems.

    Dr.Srijan Mazumdar:”Not to indulge in politics and read only; no play – set my eye to settle abroad or enjoy the unforgettable moments more fully at the stairs, library, canteens of my alma mater. I don’t know exactly but inclined to think I will choose the second option.”

    Dr.Amrita Basu-“Study harder.Plus do the students politics, the right way.I missed out on really learning from the greats .Otherwise my college ,batch mates ,friends ,seniors and juniors were helpful and  everything I ever hoped for and more.They have been angels in real life.

    Dr.Abhijit Misra:I would like to study more and spend more time with my friends.

    Dr.Debleena Basu :”My wish- My dream became true
    If I can go again in 2000 then can enjoy the college life more and try to get engaged with my CRUSH.”

    Dr.Chandrashish Chakravarty– I wished I knew that medical science is far different than delivery of healthcare.
    If you could turn back the clock and it’s 2000 again what would you do: Commit the same mistakes because I am human and I will be again 18years old.


    Dr.Dipankar Naskar:The active involvement of different political parties in student politics has only created divisions among us, offering no real benefits. Instead, it has hindered the growth of our friendships, which could have been much stronger. Without these divisions, our college memories could have been far more beautiful, colourful and meaningful.

    Dr.Arkaprava Dasgupta:Walk the same path again.

    Dr.Avik Kumar Roy : I would cherish every corner of my alma mater (like the ghost of Interstellar), spend the Sundays with my hostel mates (which I never did, I lament), roam around the city of joy (missed you so much!!)

    Dr.Ayan Jha:I wouldn’t change a thing, as all the good and not-so-good memories are what make life meaningful.

    Dr.Raj Kumar:More focused on  Total & Holistic Health. Cherish even more  friendships and memories.

    Dr.Ajijul Hakim Mollah:Sokolke joriye dhore kadbo and KOLAKULI korbo….also given thanks to Almighty for being a student of this college.

    Dr.Soumya Ghosh :I would try to remove the political barriers amongst us.

    Dr.Chandramouli Chatterjee :If I could turn back to 2000 …. I would rejoice to the fullest.. make more memories milegi dobara

    Dr.Nivedita Das:Haah ha! Wish I could! Now realizing as a teacher that teaching-learning from our respected teachers was real treasure in that time, wish I could attend those classes with more attention!

     I would like to give more care and time for friends, specially my fellow batch mates …., missed the golden opportunity to know them well!

    Dr.Sajib Chakraborty-IF”
    Rudyard Kipling

    Dr.Sabyasachi Sengupta -সমস্ত লজ্জা কাটিয়ে আমার বাবাকে একটিবার জড়িয়ে ধরতাম আর চকাম করে চুমু খেয়ে বলতাম, বাবা, আমি তোমায় খুব খুব খুব ভালোবাসি।

    Dr.Alok Kumar Singh I would better join B.Tech rather than MBBS.

    Dr-Chandramouli Chatterjee:I would rejoice to the fullest.. make more memories

    Dr.Sandip Saha:
    I would be more compassionate and I would try not to lose my friend.

    I shall spent quality time with my friends each and every day of college life.Dr.Utpal Samanta

    Dr.Pritosh Srivastava:I wish I could just rewind time, wouldn’t change anything, I want to relive moments .

    Dr.Joyashree Bannerjee: My two cutie pies never allow me to turn back the clock.

    Dr.Puspen Mandi:Turning back the pendulum, If I had to change anything, it would be to know my batchmates better, irrespective of political affiliations. And convincing some of them that they shouldn’t worry about academic/career failures so much, as there are much more failures than us in this world who are quite happy and content in life !

    Dr.Rubik Ray:Live more in the present and think less of the future.

    Dr.Shraboni Ghosh :make more friends.

    Dr.Sharmistha Daripa – I would do the same if clock turned back to 2000 again. I consider myself blessed that I made my dream come true and got opportunity to study in one of the prestigious Medical colleges of India. 

    If this is 2000 , then I want to start the journey with my true friends and enjoy the path-  Dr.Debarati Pathak

    If it is 2000 now I want to say that friendship is the biggest asset-Dr.Arunava Chakraborty


    Dr. Shaswati Sengupta: I would turn the clock further back to 1987.

    Why ? ….. I will tell you when we`ll meet !

    Dr.Diptanshu Das:Experience it again as if nothing has changed.

    Dr.Pradip Kr.Mandal:If I am able to go back to 2000 then I will make more friends, will spend more time with them, which I am missing daily.

    Dr.Sandip Sardar: I would dedicate more time to exploring emerging fields in medicine and seek mentorship from professors for a deeper understanding of surgical innovations.

    Dr.Sandip Sardar: I would dedicate more time to exploring emerging fields in medicine and seek mentorship from professors for a deeper understanding of surgical innovations.


    Dr.Vineet Agarwal:If I could turn back the clock to the year 2000 then I would have never asked any questions to our Sukanya Palit.
