For my internship at India Infoline Securities, I moved to Mumbai from Bhopal. Though the organization was a bit far from where I stayed, the journey was fun. Metro rides were mostly fun because of AC, which obviously, in this heat felt like living in an igloo for a little while! On weekends, we used to party. Believe me when I say this, Mumbai is the best place to party. 5th day into my internship at India Infoline Securities, my manager landed a huge profit on his investments. That called for a huge party! We went to Lake view cafe. The ambiance was really good, the food, even better. I loved the place and its surroundings.

I would like to join this organization where I would get the opportunity to make my own decisions and learn from my mistakes. This short stint has provided me with a clearer picture of what I want in my future. Overall, my experience was enriching. The vast amount of experience I gained from here would surely be of paramount importance in my future.

Mention some interesting incidents that happened during the internship?

This incident happened on the first day of my internship at India Infoline Securities. The reporting time for my job was 9 am. I wanted to reach early since it was my first day. So, I had to look for different transport options and finally decided to take an auto. I got in and told him the address. The auto driver politely said that it might take 2 hours to reach the office. I agreed with the thought that I would reach on time.

Little did I know, this was a terrible calculation on my part! There was heavy traffic on the way and it felt like I would never reach my destination, let alone reaching at the right time. The traffic wasn’t the only issue as the meter kept increasing with time! It took me more than 3 hours to reach the office and about thrice the usual fare. That day, I understood why people say that in Mumbai, “Public Transport is the Best”!
