We got "PUSHANed" !

All right, my Prices & Markets prof, Pushan DUTT is turning out to be one of the most interesting, dynamic professors I have ever studied with. Helps that the man knows his stuff too.

To illustrate my point, he came to class yesterday, a little "drug-abused" (the legal ones of course, as he wasted no time in informing us). But its not just the things he says...I have seen my fair share of pretenders. The man relates his innuendos with the flow of the class brilliantly!

For those who aren't aware, he comes across as a typical bread-to-the-bone Calcuttan. Calcutta is a city in India and he exhibits several traits typical of Calcuttans. High intellect, chain-smoker, an obsession with economics and economists...I could go on.

Consider some of his recent comments in class...

1. "My 6-month old daughter has 2 toys in her hand and still tries to pick up a third one. I dissuade her by explaining the opportunity costs of going for the third toy -- she loses the first one."

2. "Porn is an extremely interesting industry for economists to study (Yeah right!)"

3. "Game theory is a hammer and the whole world is shiny brass nail"

4. "I hate Microsoft. Don't ever piss them off though. They will stemroll you over."

And my personal favourite...

5. "Computers don't have big, ugly levers banging on the screen the way typewriters did. But if you do see them, you need to think about smoking something else!"

Good stuff ! I'm gonna feel bad once his last class is over...
