Extremely Annoyed & A Cup of Headache

It is 3:00 a.m. at night and I am not sleeping with a serious headache. The point is, what is the cause of this headache. I guess the answer is migraine pain. Since I am a management graduate, I should not be satisfied with that simple answer. We need to go deeper to do the root cause analysis and find the reason behind the reason and make a chain of causes (Seems like I am getting crazy now).

Now, if I try to do a chain of root cause analysis, the flow should look like this:

I think, now I am fully crazy. I am sure many or at least some of you have the idea about the Hong Kong housing system; specially their size. It is really difficult for a student to rent a bigger house. Most of the time, they rent shared apartments. Since I am little introvert (seriously, I mean it) and I prefer not share room with others, I am renting a studio apartment here. As I said, about the size of Hong Kong apartments, by saying studio size, they really mean studio size. I think my total apartment size is less than 150 sq. feet. Please don’t be scared, this is how people live here and they live in this size of apartment with family. Living and accommodation cost is the highest expense people have to bare; therefore this size of apartments are mostly common here.

Let’s get back to my problem. My friend has come to attend his Ph.D convocation ceremony couple of days ago and sharing my room. The day time, it passes well but at night I can feel like the Vesuvius is roaring. With a little interval, it is showing its sound power. I was talking about the old building and my small apartment, because I am wondering that there is a strong probability that the wall might fall down.

That might be the worst possible case but even there is a chance that I might get a police call from the neighbors. Trust me, I am serious. Meanwhile, I have started to read about the reasons of snoring and seems like many of them are actually curable but I guess, oftentimes people don’t like acknowledge or take initiatives since they don’t see this as a problem.

Actually, not in mood to write today, however just trying to pass time since I cannot sleep for last three nights and even cannot concentrate to write.

Now he is making sound like an ambulance………..

Arif Mahmood





Hi guys,

This is my first post to my own blog. You can see my name is Arif Mahmood. I am from Bangladesh. It is small but developing and promising country of South Asia.

I have completed my B.B.A and M.B.A from the finest private university of Bangladesh, namely North South University. It is an English medium university. During the graduation, I had double major of Finance & Accounting and Business Policy & Strategy with first class result. I worked in a private limited company as part time marketing executive for two years during my undergraduate study. After the graduation, I worked in Bank Asia Limited for three months as Intern in the credit department. After that, I have joined Union Capital Limited, a well-known NBFI of Bangladesh and descendant of former Hong Kong based famous financial institution called Peregrine International. I worked there for two years as Associate in Lease and Corporate Finance Department. Later on I have joined Lanka-Bangla Finance Limited as Principal Officer in their Credit Administration Department. After a while I have moved to Brac Bank Limited, the largest SME bank of Bangladesh and sister concern of one of the largest NGO of the world, BRAC. I worked there for two years as Associate Manager in Origination Department in the concentration of corporate and syndication loan origination.

During my service, I have finished my M.B.A in Management with first class with distinction of cum-laude. Later on, I have planned to devote myself for building a knowledgeable generation for future and change my career path to teaching. Therefore, I moved to Hong Kong to study further myself. I joined City University of Hong Kong, which is a promising university in the world and ranked as 9th in the Universities aged bellow 50 years. I have joined to study MSc. in Organizational and Change Management. I have a further plan to complete my Ph.D from any reputed university from abroad and then join any university.
 

If you know me, then you will understand that I am very friendly and open-minded person. I like to make and see fun every moment of life. I think, I do not know, tomorrow I will live or die, so I should live every moment of my life. I believe, life is a beautiful gift from the god. We should enjoy the beauty. Most of the time people only think and struggle to live and forget to enjoy the beauty of life or think why they are living. I like to make and follow my own philosophy of life:
 
 
 
“If there is no fun, there is no life”


“I always give my best effort to make everything perfect; it is only my fate that often pulls me down”

“When I am alone, I am alone but when I am not alone, I am all alone”
