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 9^th 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:
