Poem on 27 March, 2012




"Your mood was no good when the cat did not leap,
Your whistle was not bad when the piano did what you expected the train to do at the outer signal,
No one was as late as the new era, which came in handy when people wanted to postpone their revolution,
So nothing did the wonder not even the stories of a bygone era,
No autopsy was performed, a no nonsense precis 
You do like the way in parts the cat slept in death."

In India too,social theory is not exactly a popular area of study. Some students go for short cuts, even many teachers hardly follow the real meanings.The problem of understanding social theory gets worse with popular texts available in local language with poor translation or even misleading 'copies' of the original. A sociologist in making shall keep himself aware as to what is happening, try to find out why and how in the real time and try to connect with social theory.
