A dose of Murphy's law today morning

Today morning felt real good. I got up, brushed my teeth and decided to study Economics. I searched for a book on the subject but couldn't find one in my house(what else can i expect a house filled with engineers :-(. I was very keen to start it off today so i called up my friend, Anirudh and asked him to suggest me a book on the subject. Anirudh promptly replied that the best book to him would be the Schaum Series on Economics. I called up all the famous bookstores in Chennai to procure a copy but none of them had it:-(. I contacted the publisher, Tata Mcgraw hill and they reverted back stating the book is no longer in production.

Determined to source the book, off i went to Odyssey Bookstore which is located close to my home. I walked upto the sales rep, and told him the title. He in turn contacted some chap at the Non-fiction department. The non-fiction chap contacted someone else at the Businees/Management section. Ultimately, one of the rep got me a book on Shaun Micheals-the wrestler :-). Shaun Series on Economics turned into Shaun Micheals, the wrestler in the span of five minutes!!!!

Got back home, called up Anirudh and told him my dilemma.He promised me that he will source me a copy. I had my lunch, took a power nap and forgot about Economics.

Come next week, i will again have this urge to study Economics and the same story with a different date will follow.
