Day 3

Wednesday morning brought an opportunity to participate in a mock stock exchange at the HR College. "The Hollywood Exchange" swapped actors for companies in a game that not only required economic skill but a detailed knowledge of Brad Pitt's film history and personal life.

After lunch we were back in the classroom for a question and answer session with the General Manager of the RBI, (Reserve Bank of India). The time we spent with the manager was very interesting and insightful; providing us with a glimpse of how Indian finance systems operate.

In the afternoon we travelled to the RBI monetary museum. The trip showed us the history of the coins and cash of India used from the ancient civilisations right up to the present day. The group went back to the hotel for diner.

By the evening, we had split into several large groups that returned to different places across Churchgate and Colaba. I myself relaxed with a mint sheesha on the room of the Gulf Hotel. It was a chilled out way toy to end a very busy day.
