Life As I Know It

If you ever reach a point in your life and wonder- “How did I get here?” then it means you have done many things of which 90% of what you did was wrong. YOU are the one to blame for what happened. The other 10% of the right things you did is not going to help cancel the wrongs. So you are stuck now. And you probably think I’m closer to doing all things wrong and so why not go ahead and make a further mess of my life. It cannot be worse than what I’m dealing with now. Then you have your conscience telling you – Don’t do that. There are so many people who’d love to have at least 10% of their life going right. You have hope that you will one day cancel out all your mistakes. But it’s going to take a lot of time and a lot of will power. You can do that and why not? The fact that you did something right means you have it in you. Then the devil says- (Somewhere deep, deep, deep down inside) who are you kidding? You think by doing right the rest of your life, the rest of the world wil...

I wanted to write a sequel to my previous blog but did not come up with anything particularly interesting( I mean I’ll just be among the thousand bloggers insisting that peace marches and human chains may well show solidarity, but for a long term plan they need to remind themselves that they also have a duty towards their country. It’s not just the politicians and the armed forces that have their duties defined to them. We as civilians can also help the situation and marching with candles and spending half a day under the sun forming a chain is not the answer. We need to change our attitude, and not wake up to a blast and have our content and peaceful bubble burst.) Thus this post. It might come across as a “legal profession bashing session”, but heck we all need a reality check. I probably like many others had this particular illusion of the Supreme Court being the temple of my profession. (Sounds dramatic? Read on…) when we went to get our passes done we had to wait in this pigeon ho...

Every morning I manage to meet several morons who have no clue about traffic rules. They think it’s alright to drive in the middle of the road, or they drive at 20 kmph when it’s specified that they go at 50kmph and where they are supposed to go at 30 kmph they go at 60 kmph. Apart from driving in the middle of the road they have their hand (in case of a 4 wheeler) or thumb (in case of a two wheeler) constantly honking, which is so god damn irritating especially when there is nobody in front of them to honk at or when there is genuine slow traffic they think honking helps matters. Then there is the “jerk” specie that’s unleashed on the roads, this specimen targets girls, goes at snails pace when he spots a girl and when the girl overtakes he speeds up over takes and then again slows down and then the pattern continues unless the girl chooses to take a different route. Then there are people who over take you from the left and then turn back and give you an angry look in-case you insult ...
