In my old MA college in Dehradun, it was heavy on Marx and Durkheim, yes, but my own fieldwork studying *ghar-jamai* men in our *pahad* villages was the real lesson. Theory gave me words, but drinking endless *buransh* chai in those homes taught me the sociology.
What makes me say this? I spent last summer transcribing interviews in our store’s back room, the sound of my father weighing nails as the soundtrack to people's deepest stories. The books didn't prepare me for the weight of that.
