sharp and aggressive businessman. In fact many people get intimidated by his
killer business instinct, which leads to many strange and absolutely ridiculous
rumors.
Fakhr-e-Alam says "People who don't know me, are usually afraid of me, in fact
their fear leads them into making these crazy stories about me which are
absolutely not true. It is true that I am very business minded, and I feel if
there is a good and honest opportunity to make money or gain some kind of
profit, then that opportunity must be ceased and benefit must be drawn. But that
does not make me a dangerous or bad person. I am very clear and focused about
what I want, and I work for it. By the grace of the Almighty I am very blessed,
I usually get what I want, but never without hard work, dedication, persistence
and skill. Everyone has the right to earn better things in life."

electronic media marketing company. He took the offer and stayed with the
company for 3 months. Set the company up for a big launch, got it on it's feet
and walked away bored and tired with his role as the CEO.
