As long as I can remember, I always get the ever familar question when I introduce myself as an economist: “so you want to be Dr. Manmohan Singh?” I can only conjecture that many thousands if not more Indian students will get this wonderful question. Thank you!

Dear Dr Manmohan Singh, before I started my undergrad in economics, you were the only economist I could name. During my undergrad, I heard stories of humility and simple life that have little to no parallel. You will continue to lead and inspire!

In May 2008, I was asked in my undergrad entrance interview at St Stephen’s College about an economist whose column appeared in The Hindu (via NYT). Only now I realize how Paul’s blogs and pieces became an indispensable inspiration on macroeconomics. Thank you, Professor Krugman!

Paul Krugman @pkrugman.bsky.social · Dec 6

And it’s official. I’m immensely grateful to the world’s greatest news organization for giving me a platform all these years, and greatly appreciate the moving sendoff 1/
