I feel my biggest passion is excelling in the field of arts especially show business. It helps me obtain my aims and objectives of life which are to be a good human being and learn as much as I can. It exposes me to different faculties which are thought provoking and makes me interact with different people from diverse backgrounds which serve as a big boost to my learning curve. Since I am a professional banker too and show business is my only passion, it takes its toll at times since banking is an equally demanding field. But I must say that over the years, I have learnt the art of time management, for which I am grateful to my IBA Dean and Director Dr. Wahab, for time management teachings. I enjoy both the fields and this keeps me going!” Farooq Hasan
