H1 Success Celebration at Phuket

27-Aug-2023

I am writing this from the Phuket International Airport, waiting for the flight to Singapore. It was a good week with lots of wine. 😊

The top leadership team of ASEAN met in #Phuket this week from Aug 25th to Aug 27th. It was fun and at the same time able to connect with many faces we otherwise just talk on phone. We arrived on an early morning flight from Bangkok --> Phuket and checked-in at around 11:30am BKK.

I still found myself a bit lost and need to think carefully how to be more visible and make a mark on senior leadership. It will be a constant fight as being a non-TH, there will be some disadvantages. I can focus on business depth and delivery leadership. Need to find my way. 

After Anvay, it was Myra turn to settle in new school. We sorted out admission to Garden Internation School at Yenekat, and she has started to attend the classes from 25th Aug. 2023 should be called year of transition and travel. 

• Transition wise: 1) Anvay moved to college 2) Myra and Pallavi moved to Bangkok 3) Myra going to new school 4) I will be transitioned into new role (wip). 
• Travel wise: 1) Travelled to Miami, USA - May 2023 2) Bengaluru - July 2023 3) Phuket - Aug 2023 4) Singapore - Aug 2023... It's still 4 5 months to go. I am not counting numerous India trips. 

Coming back to resort, it was a nice resort with some nice food to spend quality time. I will bring in kids and Pallavi sometime here back.

My trading skills have gone from bad to worse. I am about to burn my hands again on a wrong option trade which went bad, and I did cut it for losses. I really feel bad about it.
