Coming to sylhet has had quite a bit of personal significance. Here in this city is the home where I truly feel at home, in my own space. It's where my mother stayed after she and my dad were married and where my older sister stayed as well before they both joined my dad in the states. This city where so many times we have come and paid our respects at the grave of our grandfather, the inspiration for many of us to even enter the medical profession, the city where my grandmother reigned as principal in the Women's college she helped build. It is about time I have to opportunity to give back in the place where he gave his life and where she dedicated hers to higher education before coming to the US to help raise all of her grandkids. And so with a tug at the heartstrings all day we proceeded with a tremendous workshop with medical officers who attend in ICUs all over Sylhet. They picked up the concepts quite quickly and we really enjoyed their enthusiasm as well!
