It is important to understand the author from the book which she wrote and how systematically done the analytical and methodological part of her book. Mathangi Krishnamurthy gives us a brilliant picture of her training, in both subject-based and interdisciplinary approach, while reading through the lines. her unconventional writing style emphasises the bigger idea of how labour is not just an isolated, overemphasised aspect of the political economy of human life, but it is dialectically and reciprocally related to each aspect of human life. For example, she talks about how the work in a call centre to an extent defined a new Indian middle class and its youth, and on the other hand how certain lifestyles and approach to career and job was redefined by the boom of dotcom’s and call centre labour process. Through this kind of concrete approach in defining various aspects of human life, we can’t call Mathanghi Krishnamurthy as somebody who is doing sociology or anthropology of labour. While coming to formal training and orientation, she had specialized in globalization, anthropology of work, youth cultures, corporate ethnography, consumption and consumerism. in 1800 worlds, we can find a brilliant ethnographer in Mathanghi Krishnamurthy who used all her specializations and training to be asthmatically taken or made involved in her one single book so beautifully without any artificiality.
