About the Author

Mahmudul Alam Mahmudul Alam was born in December 26, 1980, in the village of Lotakhola, Dohar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. His mother’s name is Razia Begum, and his father was the late Shafiuddin Moulana. He has five brothers, four sisters, and a big family. It was tough through good times and bad, but from childhood, he was a brat and had a huge weakness for movies. He had always wanted to become a director, a filmmaker. He would always carry a camera. Even if sometimes he didn’t have the camera with him, he would make two of his fingers as a camera, point them, and shoot unlimitedly jn his imagination. American life was so tough, and it was tougher during winter. He once said, “I hated the cold, standing there out in the open with a chilly wind biting me and with my hands freezing. Each day, twelve hours out there in the middle of winter without a proper coat was unbearable; but after the end of the week, getting paid (by dollar) was an amazing feeling. It relieves all the hard work and pain. “Many people say life is a bitch. I say, ‘Hey, it’s not that bad!’”
