Sekali di Mumbai - Hujan Emas Di Negeri Orang

Berkesempatan berkunjung ke Mumbai pada 24 hingga 30 Nov 2010 atas urusan kerja. Not really kerja but attended international training on securities market operations. Berlepas from Malaysia pada 9.20am menaiki AirAsia dan mendarat lebih kurang 12.30pm local time. Mumbai semestinya lewat 2 jam setengah dari Malaysia. Suasa hingar bingar selepas keluar dari Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport meruntun fikiran. Kereta terlalu banyak on the road selain motosikal. Honking sounds lagi memeranjatkan. Ternampak tulisan 'Horn OK, Please'. Patut lah.

Inilah buktinya

Hotel pickup, Amir datang lewat sikit sampai. It took us one hour ke hotel. 4-Star hotel di Colaba, Mumbai amat memeranjatkan. Macammanapun, Alhamdulillah dapat berteduh di negara asing ini untuk tempoh 5 atau 6 hari.

Hari pertama training schedule penuh 9am to 6pm. Begitu lah hari-hari seterusnya cuma ada beberapa study visit to leading futures broker, SEBI dan Reserve Bank of India. Training sangat informative. India market amat besar. Terkejut bila diberitahu derivatives market 7kali ganda equity market in term of volume value. About 60% of the population adalah young generation. Banyak lagi runag dan masa bagi golongan-golongan muda ini untuk menceburi derivatives dan stock market.

Selain training, berkesempatan juga menikmati bermacam pemandangan yang sememangnya jarang dilihat di Malaysia. Biar gambar-gambar menceritakan segalanya.
