and the macro class continues to be entertaining as ever!!

except that all i have gained from it so far are interesting anecdotes...

"the good thing about econometrics is that you can get exactly what you want ...if you can't then obviously you haven't studied econometrics well enough!!"

our director is against the over mathematisation of economics...which is a good thing...but only after you have mastered the language of numbers and are in a position to call it bunkum!! and the way i am progressing...it's going to take a lifetime...

realised that being a graduate in economics from mumbai univ is the worst possible thing ever for a student of economics...of course pune university comes a close second to us!! the IS-LM theory never looked so complicated when i wrote it for the BA exam...it looks all marred now at that MA level with weird greek letters distributed generously all over it!! so tried to act smart again...and..tried to read Mr. Keynes and the Classics by Hicks...(which is the origin of the IS-LM)..gave up in some time..thanks to more mundane compulsions like mastering partial and total differentiation...

have to go now...have to tackle Econometrics!!
