That is because your name method is called recursively - the `return
name + ""` is calling `name` once again and again and again... If you
want to access raw attributes from database on ActiveRecord models, you
can always use `self[:name]`.
It might be convenient for you to use ruby interpolations in a method
like `describe`. The following is equivalent to your method (you don't
need return either - the last thing evaluated is always returned from a
method):
> def describe
> "#{name}#{email}#{mobile}#{category}#{other}"

I don't understand the idea behind `+ ""`. If you want convert any
value
to string, it is convention in ruby to call #to_s method on it. If you
use anything in an interpolation, ruby will call #to_s on this object
for you.

Thank you very much for your help sir :)
