Studying Economics

Taking a transfer into economics is one of the best decisions of my life. I amn’t doing all economics courses this sem, but still even two of them are enough to make me happy. At least I have things like POE (Principles of Economics) to look forward to when GAN (Graphs and Networks) or maths makes me feel like running away from college.

People still comment on my quitting chemistry. People includes, as u can guess, people from the chemistry dept. One of the seniors called me an eco spy who stayed in chem. for a year. Another prefers the term “dhokebaaz”. :D Surprisingly, even the faculty loves the game. When I was registering for economics, unfortunately every faculty at the desk was from chem. One of them says “you hate us, don’t u”. My protests were silenced. The truth is I do like chemistry; it’s just that I like eco more. Even today, when I passed one of them, he said “so, studying economics”. What am I supposed to reply?

I will be doing only economics courses in the third year. This sem, I have just two of them, POE and DYSOC (Dynamics of social change). A smaller name for it would be sociology. It is like going back to tenth standard social science and English again even though the course content is totally different. Till now we’ve done things like sociology of religion where we actually debated the origin of religion and the rise and fall of Hindutva. Getting to study all this in a technical institute gives a whole new meaning to diversified education. Most of my friends dislike, no, hate the subject but I happen to be an odd one out.

I also got another morale boost today when I read my eco Prof’s blog (yes, she writes one). Her classmates sure have done well in life. gvkumari.blogspot.com

So, that’s the world of eco for me.. .. .u r welcome to comment on it.
