India visit

One week visit to Bombay as part of work, excited about the trip as it was first time for me in business class travel and the best hotel facilities there. Requested wife to join me but she didn't accept.

Reached Bombay on Sunday morning, Me with three other colleagues went for a city trip in taxi, at most of the places there is huge difference in entry price for foreigners so colleagues didn't show much interest not that they can't afford, I didn't understand the logic behind this high price, when I asked the same to the people at the counter they also don't have any clue :-) With my memory I didn't remember any such price difference in any foreign land I have visited.Gandhi's museum, a good place to revisit my history knowledge and to take something back with me while leaving the place.

My father in law came to Mumbai all the way from Andhra for a day to see me, travel time to Bombay was 20 hours one way to him where it was 4 hours for me from Singapore, it was so touching, these are the precious moments one get through out the life if you don't take dowry,had good time with him.I can feel that he is missing his daughter too much more than me. Requested him to come to Singapore soon, he accepted.

At work, made so many good friends and met senior people of the country. Get opportunity to meet very talented people and the market makers.Not speaking much about the work as I am not supped to do so.While interacting with them came to know that all of them made entry to that place after clearing toughest exams and interviews of India. One woman who made impact one me was Sucharita mam, being a woman managing so many things and people effectively with passion. When I told the same to her, she just smiled.Mam I learned many things from you in this week. One week just passed like that, while leaving the place it was a bit painful to leave all the wonderful people, I do miss them.

Farewell to Uday yesterday who is leaving to UK for work. Uday, nice and intelligent guy, around three years back when he came to me for a suggestion about his work and career , I became the reason for him to enter into Murex consulting area ,at that time he took the bold decision of quitting high paid job and joined this for a lesser salary, he is going to enjoy the fruits of his risky decision now.
