Indra enjoys playing badminton twice a week and rebounding/mini trampolining to get energy levels up to face each day! Free time is often spent enjoying family and friends’ company over good food, good movies, singing and even dancing whenever a classic disco event is on offer. Quiet time is practicing gratitude and mindfulness and whenever a quick getaway is possible – lazy days by the beach in Bali.
