    Nice to go thro yr blog. I am confident that you’ll go to LSE. All the best. I will be keen on coming back to yr blogs and see the progress u make in yr interest areas; specifically development economics and mathematical economics. Though I have a detest for statistics about which i read somewhere that “Statistics is the only science that enables different experts using the same figures to draw different conclusions.”..:-)

    Keep it up!

    1. DSE-Recruitment is not a “Institutes of economics”
    am giving u a site economics institutes all over in india http://edirc.repec.org/india.html
    2. SAS should be included as a econometric softwere

    hey!

    I’m actually one of those people who pity and think bloggers are frustrated souls who sit in a small dark room and write against the government. Seeing your blog has changed my view about blogs and bloggers. Very interesting and intellectually stimulating. I can see that you are putting in a lot of research into your work, and that you have a genuine interest in the subjects. I am economics student myself, my interests lie in Political Economy. Hope we have more souls like you in our country. Believe me, we need it! Keep up the good work, will be visiting your blog often from now.

    Jai Hindi!

    Regards and Best wishes
