Both Mehreen and I did our PhDs in the same laboratory at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. As the days were passing she became a good valued friend, sharing our happy times, our sad times together. We had such a good time together our trip in Mexico city (we went to give talks to a conference), the Lake district, visiting Sangeeta in Manchester, her cooking...(she taught me how to cook all those amazing recipies of hers)... and so many other times that will take pages to fill...<BR/>Mehreen, we will miss you! You were a good friend and you will always stay in my heart!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277145526664154365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016417860574214821.post-59203509976204494132008-08-31T09:50:00.000+06:002008-08-31T09:50:00.000+06:00Afroja khanam saysI know Mehreen by the photo giv...Afroja khanam says<BR/><BR/>I know Mehreen by the photo given in her facebook profile and I had a chance to see her photo through shahnaz Karim's facebook account. Suddenly, I have heard about the sad news, I really very much shocked.<BR/><BR/>I want to say something to you Mehreen......<BR/><BR/>"I do not know you, whatever I have heard regarding you I feel you were like sunshine, you were like an ocean, you were like the sky. Your limit was beyond the sky.Though you left this earth, you will be always remembered by all the people who were in touch of you and heard about you for your virtues. We will never forget you, we will always pray for you"<BR/><BR/>May allah bless Mehreen.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558718368452304620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016417860574214821.post-73387886430492254392008-08-30T14:33:00.000+06:002008-08-30T14:33:00.000+06:00I feel somewhat underqualiied to add anything to S...I feel somewhat underqualiied to add anything to Shahnaz's beautiful eulogy as I don't live in (or have ever been to - yet!) Dhaka, but I suppose this just demonstrates the international nature of Mehreen's friends. I am a Gibraltarian married to a Scot and lining in England. I met Mehreen and Shahnaz at around the same time - we were all in the same corridor in London House, that wonderful institution on Mecklenburgh Square. They were both studying something of international importance. I was training to become a barrister. To all those that knew her, she was a huge ray of sunshine, with a practical, sisterly, motherly way about her. She was the most morally correct person I have ever met, and yet she had a fantastic (sometimes wicked) sense of humour. Her dedication to family, friends and work was complete. And with all that she was incredibly intelligent - I remember sharing a flat with her and she would come home with these endless dna sequences of the amoebic dysentry virus (sorry if I have offended any other molecular microbiologists with my laymen's terms).<BR/><BR/>Our darling Mehreen, we all loved you so much and the gap you have left behind cannot possibly be filled. We will not forget you.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908295448678098285noreply@blogger.com
