Sold further SGB and raised further cash. The percent of Gold holdings to total holdings is approx. 7.5 % now from a peak of 55 in Dec’22. Saw few twitter feeds on how people are quitting jobs to become full time investors. When I stated this to my wife the reaction I got was don’t even dare.
@saikathalder I’m still learning the nuances of investing yet. All the books I bought are at various stages of completion. still figuring out . Also I started building my portfolio after 2021 when I started to deploy some serious money. The small cap carnage during 2018-19 is still fresh in my memory. I continue to deploy funds when ever I have them, looking for margin of safety in the scripts I invest. Due to time correction of blue chip and me adding more funds in to it (Kotak @1750) or due to the run up in midcap where I couldn’t add more (idfc@40) their size of portfolio becomes significant. Others I would have taken a tracking position and I wouldn’t have any discretionary funds to deploy which I would sell them off for meagre gains. I can have significant allocation if I have a thesis. Also adding cost price to make my case clear 
For example EIH I deployed funds faster (reallocated from SGB) as I want to have a significant allocation in hotel sector.
Similarly in Aegis logistics I wanted something from logistics sector so made a huge initial allocation (reallocated from SGB) .
Piramal pharma I sold all my holding after the last result and the ones I have were allotted in rights issue where I had substantially lower price than the prevailing market price.
Granules and Rain I took a tracking position and I don’t want to scale up. Uniparts just doubled the allocation will increase more if the results are good.
I do book profits now and then.
