Then, I thought of breaking all the ties with her and thought of showing her my skill of using all the sleazy words in a single sentence in a very official tone and calling the relationship off.

A few days of struggle helped to reach a breakthrough. I discovered that my girlfriend was suffering from PAPD- Passive Aggressive Personality disorder. And i got all the answers. I didnt thought bad of her, but thought of her as a cute patient waiting to be diagnosed with all my love. I drafted a message which was the way it should be for a PAPD person. I realised how lame i was, like an economic model,I used to see only facts and numbers and no emotions. Now still i am lame but the degree is less. I tried to see and feel emotions, hers and everybody around me. Also, my belief that people should tell me face to face their emotions and their feelings crashed while the year 2011 was ending. Human relationships are all about mysterious handling and revealing of information. You have to try to know what people think, guess their preferences, stay with that person. This is waht it needs in a relationship.

meanwhile, the silent treatment continues, no replies but atleast now i have very little questions for her. The story goes on..!

Like previously i was completely indifferent to most of the traditins/ festivals and just thought of them as a waste of time and nothing but another holiday. I rarely listened to marathi songs, the movies or nataks were ofcourse a distant matter. It is not that, that i have got nay better at watching them but now i dont mind clicking on links which talk about such stuff. Also i have started liking posts which have strong local (Mahrashtrian) flavor. Also i dont mind listening to a few Marathi songs now. Wow..!!

I never thought that this would happen some day. It is said that prolonged abstinence from a thing can actually end up in you wanting that thing more. On similar lines, I think a shift has happened in my thought process..Thanks Kozhikode..!!

Better late than never…and one more thing…Marathi music is no cheap, it is rich in its own sense, you just need the ears to listen it to appreciate it well.

1. Dennis Lillee the Australian fast bowler goes out to bat with a aluminium bat at the WACA Ground in December 1979 between a match against England. He strikes a ball, one can hear the typical metal sound. They score 3 of the ball but Greg Chappel the then Australian skipper intimates someone to give the wooden bat to Lillee as he thinks that the ball should have been gone for a four. As this was happening the ENglish skipper complains to the umpire that the bat was getting damaged. The umpires have an intense discussion for a few minutes before they insist him on changing the bat. Lillee then throws away the AL bat with high disregard.Note that there were no rules about the type of bat should be used at that time…!!

2. The Longest Over:- 17 and 15
Mohammed Sami has earned the ignominy of bowling the longest over in One Day International cricket during the Asia Cup match against Bangladesh in 2004, when he bowled 17 balls in one over which consisted of seven wides and four no balls.
IN test cricket its Curtly Ambrose who bowled a 15 ball over at WACA in Perth vs the migthy Aussies in 1997(Note that this was a typical 6 ball over, there were times when 8 ball over was the norm in few countries, follow this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_(cricket)#Historical_number_of_balls_per_over_in_Test_cricket). Shane Warne was facing him..!Having retired from cricket, Ambrose now plays guitar in a reggae band called Big Bad Dread and the Baldhead alongside former team-mate Richie Richardson.

3. Most number of ducks
Ajit Agarkar score 5 consecutive ducks in a test series against the Australians in Dec 1999. There are others also who share this hall of fame with him. So dont worry fellow Indians.

4. Border scores a duck in his 100th test. This happens when everyone was cheering for him and all he could do was to get out on duck.
Greg Chappel the infamous Australian who was the coach of the Indian cricket team between 2005-2007 has a lot of ducks accredited to his name. He once had a series of 7 ducks in a row, including both test and ODIs. However once one spectator brought a duck and placed it on the ground when chappel had arrived to bat. Bad culprits..:)..!!

Alternative:- To maintain price above clearing level govt can restrict O/P by imposing production quotas or by giving farmers additional incentive to produce less.

import quota:- limit on the quantity of a good that can be imported
tariff:- tax on an imported good.

Result 1:- This result is amazing. It states that For a given bond the absolute rupee price increase caused by a fall in yields will exceed the price decrease caused by an increase in yields of the same magnitude. Thus, it is a convex function. Imagine function 1/x^2 in the 1st quadratic.

go on the above online graph to see why this happens

Result 2:- This effect is called as the Coupon effect. It states that For a given term to maturity and initial YTM the price volatility of a bond is greater, the lower the coupon rate. Price volatility means that the price of a bond will change more if the coupon rate is lower.
Graphical implication:- Convexity is how sensitive the price of a bond is to interest rate changes. In general, the higher the convexity, the more sensitive the bond price is to decreasing interest rates and the less sensitive the bond price is to increasing rates.
B offers more price change and is more volatile and more risky,and thus has a lower coupon rate than A. Thus this makes B more convex than A,
low coupon rate= higher convexity…dis convexity is difft than what you see, dis convexity is just the defn
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/convexity.asp#axzz1diMpDnj8……in dis fig. B is more convex than A

Result 3:- For a given coupon rate and initial YTM the longer the term to maturity the greater the price volatility. This effect is called as the maturity effect.

This statement reminds me to know my law well…!!

The agency contract lays down certain terms and conditions, rights and duties for both agent and principal.

Law:-There is a clause which states that an agent should “Not to put himself in a position where interest and duty conflict”.

Case:- A principal appoints an agent to buy a house for him. The agent searches and then comes across a house, so beautiful that he himself wishes to purchase it.
This would be illegal according to the above mentioned law.

Way Around1:- people are really smart in this world. The agent then establishes a company which requires atleast 2 members and becomes a majority stakeholder. And proves that it is the company who has made the purchases as per the business entity concept, individual and company are different.

Way around2:- this one is smarter. A person establishes a company. He doesnt becomes a shareholder, appoints his 2 servants as the founder members. Lends cash to this company for its operations. The company then with this cash purchase the house. Now the company cant repay the debts of creditor. Company defaults, the lender takes possession of the house.

Y=C+I+G
=C0+C1(Y-T)+I+G
=C0+C1Y-C1T+I+G
=>(1-C1)Y=C0+I+G-C1T

I=S+T-G…..substitute the value of I+G as S+T

=>(1-C1)Y=C0+S+T-C1T
S=-C0+(1-C1)y-T+C1T
S=-C0+(1-C1)Y-T(1-C1)

S=-C0+(1-C1)(Y-T)
if consumers decide to save more i.e. to consume less(C0 less), negative C0 means smaller decrease.
Also Y decreases. so the net effect would be ambiguous.
But if we see I= S+ T-G
S doesnt change in this case and attempts to change S result in a decrease in Y, output. This phenomenon is the paradox of thrift

An attempt by the economy as a whole to increase aggregate savings not only will not succeed, but may lower aggregate output, income and employment. This is because increased savings at a given level of aggregate income will mean decreased consumption. Thus a smaller marginal propensity to consume will reduce the stimulative effects of investment and other spending.

If, however, the increased saving is the result of higher incomes, then that is a different story. If income goes up, consumption and saving both go up. But at a given level of income, increased aggregate savings can throw the economy into a recession. Therefore, a policy to increase growth by increasing savings has it backwards: savings will increase as a result of growth.
