I had Mango Tree cheese naan, paneer tikka masala and butter chicken for breakfast. Honestly, I don't like it, I don't like Indian food. But like with all things, I like it every once in a while. Strangely, the Mango Tree food is too spicy for me and my nose is running.
I had a call with Tony██████████████████████████, who applied for our Consultant job. He doesn't know anything about IT security. I don't think he can work for us. He's 59 years old, I didn't get along well him, so, I'll anyway play G-d and *█████████████████████████ with the left hand like HW Bush 41* him.
I'm watching Howard Schultz's Masterclass on Business Leadership which I █████████████████. It's interesting. I love Starbucks, but in my entire 3 year stint in university, I only went there 2 times or something.
In Singapore, I went to Starbucks twice a month to see Valerie Chai who taught me business. I love Valerie, she is a G-d to me. She got my C grades up to As and Bs, I love her. I also went to Muthu's Curry every month or so for Indian food. I guess, I like Indian food -- somewhat!
11:30 a.m.
I need to go visit Dialog Axiata PLC at Akbar Brothers building at about 3 p.m. to speak with Chandima. I need to shave my beard. Then I need to visit Thilanga uncle first. I got a WhatsApp message from Sharon at processed meat project FOXTROT Singapore. It's going according to plan.
I need to write an email to GOLF-PAPA-WHISKEY partner in Portugal. I should include our company profile. It's looking good. I'll pick up not 6, but 8 samples from Customs. I'm looking forward to it. It's our alcohol project. I'm happy to try work with Mahesh Jayaweera, 50-something, GM Great Western Colombo Ltd.
11:45 a.m.
I think that the alcohol business will take like Rs 300mn, but will earn about Rs 40mn profit out of Rs 250mn revenue. This is just 10% of the market. With 100% growth, we earn Rs 400mn out of Rs 3bn revenue. I'll call this project GOLF-PAPA-WHISKEY.
I'm working on SIERRA and BRAVO-CHARLIE today with Dialog Axiata PLC. I instructed Indrajith Jayaratne to work on HOTEL-OSCAR at his management meeting with Chadu at Sumathi Group. I want to create and control the monopoly here in Sri Lanka.
I can buy a liquor import/ manufacturing permit for Rs 95mn, which is up for negotiation, from a Tamil businessman in Jaffna. But I'll try to use Thilanga uncle to get a liquor import permit from PM Mahinda Rajapaksa for free as Ministry of Finance issues these. It's hard to get.
6:30 p.m.
I just got back from a good meeting with Dialog Axiata PLC. I love Haribo Goldbären that my cousin Delitha Dharmadasa has brought from Germany. When people buy me gifts, or flatter me, the third world thug in me comes out, and I just think *wow, he's a really good, sweet person.* Damn, these taste good.
Dialog promised to do my scoping questionnaire.█████████████████████████████████They need to bring in their IT team because we're trying to protect their IT apps and mobile apps too. Not just their telco assets. I'm happy with the SIERRA and BRAVO-CHARLIE project. I'll report to Ron sooner or later.
6:45 p.m.
I'm definitely going to try use Sumathi Information Technologies and Indrajith Jayaratne to handle SLT. It's a nightmare █████████████████████████████████████████████. They don't know what we're doing.███████████████████ We need SIT to slowly work with these people. ████████████████████████
7:30 p.m.
I'm watching this boring Chris Voss Art of Negotiation Masterclass. It's okayish. I'm learning things from him. But ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Oh look "incentivization" isn't a real word apparently. I dunno. Motivation. Motivation is key.
8:15 p.m.
I was thinking about the war in Sri Lanka████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
