This was initially started under a Banyan tree!
And now the decisions made in this place can change the fortune of not only a person but also a whole country!
With the recent screening of movies and series of Stocks and stock exchanges; the general public has started getting to know about stocks and how the market works!
Slowly the financial sections of the paper (for those few who still read em!); which used to be in the last section, has slowly started gaining prominence!
This is because what happens in the financial world and market actually makes the whole flow in all the pages! Each and every single story in every page can finally be linked to a financial decision in one way or the other!
All said and done, Money speaks! It is a very important factor in your freedom and life. Of course it is not the MOST important which is where people falter!
Each and every individual who is a human with a social life finally thrives to earn a financial freedom!
Then again the world of stocks is full of bear and bulls and mainly shocks!
The interesting thing though is the fact that the sixth largest stock exchange in the world which is the Bombay stock exchange was started under a Banyan tree!
Bombay Stock Exchange was started by Premchand Roychand in 1875. In the 1850s, five stock brokers gathered together under a Banyan tree in front of Mumbai Town Hall!
A decade later, the brokers moved their location to another leafy setting, this time under banyan trees!
Finally in 1874, the brokers found a permanent location, the one that they could call their own. The Bombay Stock Exchange continued to operate out of a building near the Town Hall until 1928.
The street on which the present site is located came to be called Dalal Street in Hindi (meaning “Broker Street”) due to the location of the exchange! It is also one of the oldest exchanges in Asia!
Hope you have some stocks! and of course pay tax or Lagaan!
Which reminds me of the celebrity Ashutosh Gowariker! You expected that right!?
Now lemme watch some Swades and think about home!
Shubh ratri!
