About the Book

With the fragmentation of knowledge and narrow specialization, we often miss the ecstasy of connectedness; the creeative eyes of a wanderer, or the eyes that see political philosophy in a Guru Dutt film, religiosity in a cup of coffee, or reflecxive sociology in a walk with a monk and a revoltionary. Indeed, here is a refreshing departure. Beyond footnotes and references – the book does not burden the reader with thee heavy baggage of ‘knowledge’; instead, it communicates; it heals, and it inspires her/him to reflect on the aesthetics of living; mountains and rivers, celluloid imageries and poetry, and pedagogues and thinkers. Avijit Pathak is Professor at the Centre for the Study of Social Systems, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He is also associated withThe New Leam-a creative magazine on education and culture. His other books include
