“Economics, at its core, is the study of incentives.” I likes! :)


Recently I have been asked the most fundamental of questions- about myself- my basic aim, interests, and path of life- and I have been digging through myself for the answers.. Suddenly it feels like I’m all grown up; feels like its time I know and manage it all- feels like I must act responsibly.. It is not about my life alone anymore- I am beginning to affect another’s life, too. It feels strange; abnormal, somehow- I don’t feel like staying here- I want to go and eat ice cream! Something new is on my shoulder, and it will remain there for the rest of my life... I am not complaining; I am simply amused by what time brings us- new sets of glasses every few years!


I was reading through the earliest posts of my blog yesterday, and I found so many errors- grammatical and otherwise- and my immediate reaction was to correct them; but then again, I realized that this is never ending- I will constantly be recognizing mistakes over time... I guess this is what it means to be learning all your life- to keep upgrading the scale of measurement of skill and quality.. Even Sanjay Mohe keeps recognizing lines he should have changed, spaces he should have dealt with differently.. This means, though, that we can never be satisfied with ourselves till the very end, when there is no more time to learn. Not a stable mental condition, is it?


They say one does not get everything in life. To understand what is more important and move accordingly, is being mature. Mighty difficult, I must say!
