The Shaheens’ Forum welcomes all student regardless of the length of time you attended Shaheen School.

Background: June 2006, we launched a website targeting the 79 batch of the ex-shaheens. Over the past year and a half, shaheens from other batches also wanted to join but hesitated because of its name, shaheen79.com. So we, the administrators of the shaheen79.com, decided to put up this new website as a general meeting place for all shaheens and share our fond memories of the school.


Extracts from the Wiki

History
Established in 1960 as P A F Shaheen College or, Pakistan Air Force's Shaheen College, by Pakistan Air Force to accommodate the children of Airmen. It was part of a project where four Shaheen Schools were founded alongside the four airbases of the Air Force in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan). The other three Shaheens are: Kurmitolla, Jessore and Chittagong Shaheen. This may not be completely true. There is a much older Shaheen at Karachi, Pakistan , P A F Shaheen College.

With over 4,000 students, and a faculty of about 200 staff members, B A F Shaheen College Dhaka, Tejgaon, Dhaka is ranked as the #1 co-educational pre-secondary, secondary and higher secondary educational institution in Bangladesh Unlike many similar institutions, Dhaka Shaheen also runs an undergraduation programme - endorsed by the National University of Bangladesh - the single government appointed higher educational licensing body in the country.

Welcome to ex-shaheens.com.

At the end of my blah blah thanks to our Great Friend Zia Shamsi once again.

[Mahboobur Rahman (Shahriar)]

Great work bhaiya! Thanks for all the effort in putting XShaheens together. I am so jealous to find Cadet college guys having a strong link to their batchmates via websites. I will publicize this website among my friends. It would have been good if this URL could be publicized through our school, but they remained as buerocratic as they always have been 


best wishes !

Hello fellow Shaheens

It was wonderful to have a web site of my school, I am realy greatful to the fellow who had this thought and made it a palce where the old friends, jouniors and seniors, can have refresher of past best memories of shaheen. The ragging of pricipal and love which he gave us (Our beloved Mamoon Sir) made us achieve what we are now.

I am from Batch 1962 and took admission in class-8 and our batch passed out in 1965. My class fellow from shaheen are also in karachi, pakistan.

Most of them must be in good health in Bangaldesh. Alamgir, wasif, shafahat , atiq , huda, Rafiq mazhar, Najma , roxana, shereen, Mumtaz, afreen... I pray for them to be in good health

Rest all else is fine. Soon I will write about our friend who r  in karachi

We are graceful to the Shaheen Manias who contributed their money and times to create this board for other The Shaheen Fans.

[Salehin, M M]

Just two days back I joined/ registered and in these two days time I find lots of developments.I am impressed and indeed happy to see such rapid improvement in the site.Thanks to our founders/ administrators.Keep up your good works. thanks once again and best regards. 

[Sayed Javed Ahmad]

I remember one of our batch mates of 78 used to organize a reunion called "The Shaheenities" back in the early 80's. But unfortunately, I could not attend any of them due to some unavoidable situations. Later I went to USA for higher education and never got to know about it. On those days there were no Internet emails; therefore, the events were advertised in the newspapers. If I'm not mistaken, Atiqul Islam, who is now the Managing Director of Islam Garments was one of the main organizers. Arranging a reunion is indeed a good idea, but this time it would combine many different batches with a large number of participants.

By the way, why not we form an official "Shaheen Alumni Association"? With an organization like this we could get involved in long term plans geared towards the development of our nation and do some meaningful projects together. If we do not care about our own country who will?

It is Our Great Friend Zia Shamsi. This is his 3rd one. First one is not active anymore.
Second one, www.shaheen79.com, launched on the 20th of June 2006, is still active. We received multiple request from our ex-shaheens. So we decided to create this forum. It is only Zia Shamsi who Deserves all the Credits. It is our friend (Zia Shamsi) for whom today we are able to talk with each other. Some of us found long lost classmates.

[MohaMMad MuTTakin SiDDique <Himel>]

great job Zia and Anwar Bhai ! It will help ex-shaheens to come under the common umbrella which will help to build up the social network  as well as it will help to find out some of our old friends...truely fantastic!

[Md. Sajjadul Hasan (Masum)]

What a great idea ! It will be possible, if few of us show their intention to make it possible. But only those guys can do it who have some time to spare. If you think, it should be taken care of immediately, then pls come forward. Or if you want to wait for more members, then let's wait for few months.
There are lots of people who have some experiences to do this kind of program.
Regards
Md. Sajjadul Hasan

HI Luci,
I could not prevent myself to write two lines to you. I really wonder, how time passed last 26 years. I am really surprised to know about 20/21 years kids, my other batmates (girls) have. My best wishes to your family and welcome to you for joining the forum and make our rising super batch more shining.

Take care.

[Sayed Javed Ahmad]

There is a Yahoo group in use by the name "78Shaheens", where the Shaheens' graduated in 1978 are keeping touch with each other. If you happen to be a member of the 78 batch, then you are welcome to join that group where you will find most of your long lost friends and classmates. In fact, I too was welcomed to join by one of the members recently.

[Zia Shamsi]

Javed Bhai:

You should be asking all in that Yahoo group to join here on this forum too. Otherwise it will not be fair 

Zia.

[Mahmuda Aldeen Shikha]

Dear Zia,

I am very happy to see a platform of Shaheens after about 28 years of leaving my HSC batchmats at Shaheen school. Now on we can trace each other when we feel like. It's really a great job. Many thanks to you and all who are working very hard to make this happen  However, I am still on a learning mode, looking at the various topics and areas that this website has. Also hoping that my 1980 HSC batchmates will see this website and register soon.

All the best,

Mahmuda Aldeen (Shikha)

[Salehin, M M]

My Dear Shikha,

Take care.

Salehin, MM

বড় ভাই ও বোনেরা আমার শ্রদ্ধা নিবেন (বন্ধুরা ও ছোট ভাইয়েরা কেমন আছিস??)

আমি আজই যোগদান করলাম এই ফোরামে, আমার সবসময়ই মনে হতো আমাদের শাহীন পরিবার এখন ছাড়া ছাড়া হয়ে গেছে। কিন্তু এখন এই ফোরাম দেখে খুবই ভালো লাগছে। এখানে এতো এক্সশাহীন

আমি শাহরিয়ার, শাহীনে আমি এক যুগেরও বেশি সময় ধরে পড়ালেখা করেছি, ১৯৯১ সাল থেকে ২০০৫ সাল!! শাহীনের সাথে অনেক স্মৃতি, ঘটনা হাসি কান্না।  তবে অসুস্থ হবার পর অনেক ঘটনাই মুছে গেছে স্মৃতি থেকে তারপরও যা আছে তা কম নয়।

অনেক বন্ধুরাই কালের গহ্বরে হারিয়ে গেছে। অনেক শ্রদ্ধেয় ভাই ও বোনেরা এখন সারা বিশ্বে ছড়িয়ে পড়েছেন। তাদের প্রায়ই মনে পরে। শাহীনের মাত্র হাতে গোনা কয়েকজন বন্ধুর সাথে এখনও পরিচয় রয়েছে বাকিদের এখনও খুজে ফেরি। আশা করি এই ফোরামের মাধ্যমে আমি তাদের খুজে পাবো।

কেউ যদি জানতে চান তাই জানাচ্ছি, বর্তমানে আমি মার্কেটিং নিয়ে পড়ালেখা করছি। সেই সাথে আমি বাংলাদেশ লিনাক্স ইউজারস এলায়েন্সের সক্রিয় কর্মী এবং উবুন্টু বাংলাদেশে কন্টেন্টস এন্ড মার্কেটিং অফিসার। সেই সাথে টুকিটাকি অনলাইনে কাজ করি। (সারাদিনই আমি অনলাইনে থাকি তাই কাজ না করে কই যাবো বলেন  )

ফোরামটি এখনো সম্পূর্ন ঘুড়ে দেখা হয়নি। যতটুকু দেখেছি খারাপ লাগছে না। তবে বাংলা হলে আমার আরও ভালো লাগতো। সারাদিন ইংরেজীতে বকর বকর করে পর আবার ইংরেজীতে বা বাংলিশে আমার প্রানের কথা বলতে ভালো লাগেনা। আশা করি ভবিষ্যতে ফোরামটি বাংলা করার প্রক্রিয়া শুরু হবে।

[Zaiadul Alam, Major.]

Shamsi Bhai, It's a great job done by you.I salute your work.You are really a greatman,I think.

[Marufa Ismat]

Shahriar welcome to the forum. I really appreciate your concern regarding our own language. Normally most of us use mixed language (so called bangreji) in the shout box to communicate each other. It is much easy and workable than English and Bengali for a number of reasons. However I always uphold our own language to use in every sphere of life.
