Christmas Eve 2010 in Mumbai, India. We finished three interviews today. We spoke with two people at ICICI bank. I am really glad that we stayed and talked to them. It was in a pretty nice part of Mumbai. Just business parks, almost like Irvine, California. We only had the two bank meetings but then we also met Praveen for lunch at the Cricket club, which was pretty fancy. We got some great audio recorded. In the afternoon we went downtown to meet with State Bank of India. We were a half hour late because we stayed and talked to Praveen for too long, but SBI seemed to not mind. SBI was in a great part of downtown, but I was surprised by their operation. It was quite different than ICICI. As it was Christmas Eve we were looking for something to do. Avi was sick so we didn’t go to his white Christmas party he was planning. We were in the catholic portion of the city so I considered finding a Catholic Mass to attend. The night before we went to Olive, a chic club in Mumbai, and stayed there way too late. I think we got home at 3:00 am. I’m not going to lie, it was much more fun than I expected. Lena is taking off tonight to go to the airport and I leave tomorrow night. Our journey is coming to an end.
