What would you think has happened if you receive a phone call early in the morning?
"My first thought was that something terribly tragic must have happened; somebody has turned ill or something worst than that. So I was first relieved that it wasn't any of that and when I examined the news it seemed good because it was the academy calling."
Around 5am on 14 October 1998 Amartya Sen's telephone rang. He was worried and fairly sure that something tragic had happened. But after the news of his Prize in Economic Sciences sank in, Sen felt that "it was a good piece of news" and started the day with a cup of coffee.
