Hurwicz Reception

With a full heart of joy, we went to join the Hurwicz Nobel Prize reception. Alot of people, famous ones too, were there. Among them, the fellow Nobel winner, Eric Maskin.

I got a chance to talk to Hurwicz for couple minutes. He still remember me as his TA, he asked about my own work. And he told me he would advise his students to have three dissertation topics, one maybe too easy, one maybe too hard, and one of them would be just right.
