The Eco Prof

Sitting in the FCQ exam,looking back i realised that i have always been conveniently ignoring the Eco class and the Prof. The very first class, i categorized him as the modern version school master of the Malgudi Days. I had to battle really hard to keep my eyes open as i was sitting right in front of him.To be brutally honest it was boring.

The second class was an eye-opener.I actually enjoyed the the Oil Price discussions.But still, i it was an ignorable class, then .

But now sitting at the FCQ, hearing that his wife had passed away, i felt really sorry for him than myself. I had no clue what the question meant to me.

Suddenly my opinion about him started changing.I realized he was not that boring , he was funny and witty at times.

I could remember one quote distinctly.

He had said " F.D Roosevelt once said(',m not sure about the President, it could be Regan as well) ,"Give me a Economist with One Hand"

I was rather puzzled , why would a President want a partially disabled economist?

He continued,"Coz he said the Economists always say, on One hand this could happen, but on the Other hand, this could also happen"

Very true.

Now I'm actually looking forward to seeing him in the class again.
