7 years ago today in the company of colleagues from St. Teresa's in Kochi, State of Kerala, Southern India.

Cleaning out my home office today threw up these! One of the best examples of how I used to illustrate price mechanisms governing the sale of branded versus generic products in elementary micro lectures. The best before dates on both cans: February 2006!!

A first rate political biography of a failed PM, a semi biographical novel, crucial reflections on the role of hope in wellbeing support, and a wonderfully constructed game-theoretic discussion of how to be happy.

All 4 authors are great story tellers. All 4 books enjoyed thoroughly in 2024.

Return home from the GTech did not go to plan last night. A cherished hat lost to the tracks.

It's been a while since I have been so absorbed by one book. Finished 'Truss at 10' last night.

A must read.
