Dhanam moolam idam jagat is a sanskrit proverb meaning the whole world revolves around money. No war can be fought on empty stomach.

Are professional ethics important?

Many fresh law graduates take practicing law for a ride. A lot of them drastically lack work ethics.  They still are unable of come out of the comfort zone where schools and parents kept mollycoddling them and thus they lack the experience of the harsh realities of the business world.

The irony is that some tend to take 1 hour break after 30 minutes of work😀. But no workplace can afford such luxury and that's the reason most fresh interns are fired after few months of internship and Seniors swear on taking only experienced ones. 

In my very limited experience, I have observed that fresh law graduates are capable to produce just 3 hours of productive work per day when 8 hours is the requirement. Beyond that if they are forced to work, they only deliver crap, to be very honest. 

And there are some professionals from the same batch who work with sheer focus and determination. But unfortunately they are relatively rare.

However, the school of hard knocks ultimately teaches them that if they are struggling to submit college projects with 3 months deadline and resorting to plagiarism, then thry have a very hard time waiting for them in the professional world.

Remember, no matter how smart and intelligent you are and how cool degrees you have, lack of professional ethics will absolutely destroy you in the professional world.

10 Ways To Succeed In Life

There is no lemon so sour that you can't make something resembling a lemonade !! Sounds abstract right? 

Well, here are some Key takeaways from the harsh surprises that life offered to me🥰 and in that process I learnt these lessons that might help someone who is trying to find answers from life. 

1. Patience is the key, if you lose out on it, you become a bottleneck of your own progress.

2. Keep looking out for opportunities, you never know which door may lead to finding out what you were looking for so long.

3. Fake it until you make it is an outdated concept. Action speaks louder than words is a practical approach that takes you to great heights of success.

4. Don't underestimate the power of hope and positive attitude. Never give up on your dreams.

5. Avoid negative people, free advisors and hypocrites. They are gonna pull you down. Remember if you keep company of eagles, you will become an eagle. This is mirror - effect theory.

6. To become an expert in something you are passionate about is not a rocket science. Trust yourself even when the whole world criticizes you. Remember, it is obvious for legends to have critics around. And constructive criticism is very helpful.

7. Dont confine yourself to a single formula accepted by others. If Formula A works for Mr. John, Formula Z works for Mr. James. Strategize your moves on your set of formulas. 

8. When you say ‘Yes’ to others, make sure you are not saying ‘No’ to yourself.

9. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

10. We cannot discover new oceans unless we have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Last but not the least, I would like to quote 

"If you have the true desire to achieve something, then the whole universe conspires to get it done for you"

"Agar tum kisi cheez ko puri shidatt se chaho... Toh puri kaayenaat tumko us se milane meh jud jaati hai"

JUNIOR !!!!

I have often come across Advocates who call themselves as Juniors of some Advocates. 

I personally believe that employing the terminology "Junior" we tend to hinder various opportunities that might be coming our way. 

Although, I don't intend to mean that one must not respect experience and seniority, but calling oneself a Junior Advocate is something I personally don't believe in. I am either someone's "Associate" or "Colleague" and this in my humble opinion is the opinion an Advocate must reflect with all the humility and willingness to learn.

Ram Jethmalani would frown upon fellow lawyers addressing him as "Sir" and if it's coming from someone like Ram, we must understand its paramountcy.

My Love For 'Chai'

कैसे कहे कोई नहीं है हमारा, 

शाम की चाय रोज बेसब्री से इंतज़ार जो करती है।

Kaise Kahe Koi Nahi Hai Hamara, 

Sham Ki Chai Roz Besabri Se Intezar Jo Karati Hai.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️❤️

Thank you, Chai, for your constant encouragement and support (full 365 days). Weak and broken, you gave me courage to face the world. You gave me hope when I was discouraged.

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

You were there for me through the highs and lows of my mental health. My mornings begin with a sip of your bed tea flavour, and your strong, refreshing taste makes every night a romantic occasion.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

I'm in ecstasy when you snuggle up to me in my blanket on these frigid December nights with soothing music playing in the background.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Thank you for being my soulmate since I was a teenager and for being there for me through all of life's ups and downs. And I want you to stay with me in this way for the rest of my life.

🙌🙌☕☕🙌🙌☕☕🙌

On Being Overweight

When I think about it, I can't help but wonder why so many people these days are so cruel to those who are overweight. Everyone was created by God in a unique way, so we are all one-of-a-kind. Inquire about what you see in nature: plants, animals, and more. It will be easy to notice that everyone has a unique physical characteristic. It doesn't matter if they're short or tall or fat or dwarfish; they all look beautiful. The beauty lies in the individuality of each person.

All women would look exactly the same if they weighed the same (24-36-24) and were the same height and weight (24-36-24). It would be a bizarre and unattractive sight. As a result, it's important to remember that each of us is born with a specific body type. If you're genetically predisposed to be overweight, then dieting, exercising, and attempting to maintain a certain weight are actually torturing your body. This is completely out of character. 

So take your time, and pay attention to what your body tells you. Simply maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly. People will make crude remarks about your physique because of your size, so accept it coz in the end, it's your own body and your own responsibility, not someone else's.

Why Am I So Bitter?

When describing myself in one word, "bitter" would be the most accurate. I know, it sounds bizarre, right? But this is who I am, and I'm fine with it. My words, my attitude, my personality, etc., are all bitter. Although bitterness is generally thought of as a negative idea, I've found that it's actually been a boon in my life inorder that rescued me from pitfalls everywhere. When maintaining a healthy work-life balance became a sine qua non of my daily schedule, Bitterness instilled a value in me of which I wasn't aware at all. In this world, people use salt and pepper to spice things up. But "BITTER is the flavour that I prefer to be the best.
