The Big Interview

14-May-2023

12-May was a big day; It's more than cracking a simple job interview. It's like now or never. I felt very nervous, and anxiety took over all of me. In the end, I think I did okay. The presentation was perfectly 14.5 minutes followed by 30 minutes of Interview. I was able to answer most of the questions to the best, I think. I can't explain the feeling once it was over. It felt very much relaxed like someone has taken off tons off weight from your head. Now, I have to wait for the results and hoping for the best. 

Post interview on 12-May-2023 and after some work, went out for one beer with Deepak, Pete and Arup. I promised my father-in-law a night food and a drink. I reached back home at 10pm, and then went out to Vertigo, and to our bad luck, it rained that night. Nothing we could do, so had one beer at inside bar and went out to get some pizza at Sukhumvit around 1 am. I guess, he was getting worried that he might miss the flight as it was too late, and he need to get up early to catch up flight back to India. We finally came back at 2am and slept at 2:15. I hope, he had fun and enjoyed his stay at Bangkok. I could have done more but it was too busy and stressful due to the interview. 

I count this week as one of the productive ones, as was able to also make a rental lease starting 20th May at Belle Park. I no longer need to carry stuff all around with me on India trips and have a permanent home at Bangkok at least for the next one year. I personally liked the house; the only drawback is that it's a lower floor and probably not a great view. 

And, yeah just to mention, I am writing this from Suvarnabhumi Airport #Bangkok, waiting to onboard Emirate A380 to Dubai and then to Miami. The task looked not possible in March but here I am. I really wanted Pallavi to travel this time, but anyways, Pasin was destined to be part of this. I am not sure whether we have the right frequency or not, but he truly deserves it if you ask me. The man does the job for more than 5 persons, can handle client and run things independently. I owe him my success big time. He is not the only one, but it wasn't a difficult choice. 

Moving to the markets, and that's something not going as per my guess. #Nifty continues to rise, making it difficult for me to exit without loss. I am still trying to bring this wrong direction trade either to green or minimal loss. It seems like an uphill task, and maybe I have to do roll this position off to June. Hoping for a gap down tomorrow as BJP loss Karnataka state in the assembly elections. People saying it's already priced in. Yeah, may be, because the markets like certainty, and a full majority is a certainty. Well, for me there will be limited action as I will be busy at #Miami.

Pallavi and Myra are coming to Bangkok on 23rd May for a month, and I want to make it one of the best vacations for them. I guess, there is a lot of complaint and I hope they come with the list of places they want to explore. Wish me luck :).
