Economics'* is a science that is derived from itself.. As in you observe a phenomena, make that a theory, then you say that the phenomena is true because of the theory..<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">* <em>All views given here are solely mine and do not relate to anybody else's findings :P</em></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7437859228266507657-676188850383743976?l=asthazblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Asthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07691536066847566166noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437859228266507657.post-88748625418740769022009-06-29T09:00:00.000-07:002009-06-29T09:37:10.568-07:00Hmm.. well, I had been wanting to write since the day I came here (Bombay.. somehow i dont like calling it "Mum"bai.. sounds wierd..) Ok, first the background.. I recently(2 weeks bk) joined SP Jain Institute of Management and Research.. phew! thats a loong name.. I am planning to specialise in Operations and Manufacturing (please dont ask me what that is!!).. so ever since that day.. rather ever since I started writing CAT (that was like way back in 2005) I have been wondering as to "why" an MBA.. ya I know it sounds like a typical B school interview question.. but its true.. however since I was involved in a "lot" of other activities back then, I never really bothered to find out the answer to this question.. But, to my surprise, this time I some how got a call from SPJIMR and literally "somehow" cleared the interview as well.. and then started the whole saga.. "WHY AM I HERE??"<br />I hear people talking about ET in class.. ya to me it is as bad as an extra terrestrial thing.. i dont think i'd ever be able to relate to it.. as the master says.. thinking about ET gives me the "hibidajibiz".. so you all can understand what I am going through.. When I am in class I think of the days when I used to get salary.. the days when I used to loiter around aimlessly on the green roads of RVCE.. the days when I had the confidence of clearing a Micro Processor exam, buying the text just a day before the exam.. even if you'd feel like studying, others "not" studying around you would give you an excuse not to read :) those were the days..<br />Coming to the present.. we have these quizes almost everyday.. I see people studying all day.. worrying about the quiz to be held the next day.. and then again the question.. "WHY AM I HERE??" hits me right in my face!<br />Anyways.. here I am.. learning how demand is affected by change in price.. why products come as 50% off and not buy one get one free.. you'd be surprised to know how much of analysis lies behind the concept.. and then you'd think do I really care??<br />ok i guess its tme for me to join the rat race and "try" reading something.. however the probability of that happening is quite low.. I will "try" posting on regular intervals.. in the mean time if you find an answer to my questions please feel free to get back to me.. bye for now..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7437859228266507657-8874862541874076902?l=asthazblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Asthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07691536066847566166noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437859228266507657.post-80201763026465520742008-02-10T10:59:00.000-08:002008-02-11T10:57:29.988-08:00Yet to be written!! :P<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7437859228266507657-8020176302646552074?l=asthazblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Asthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07691536066847566166noreply@blogger.com2
