Flew @airindia from New Delhi to Mumbai in Vistara craft. Leg room seems to be shrinking. DGCA should look into this medically. Cramps affect blood circulation. Commendable Indian attire and accent of flight crew. Improved cuisine. Skilled captains - arrived 15 mnts early. Kudos

A few years back, In one of the court hearings that I was forced to attend, We saw this old couple doing the rounds at a high court. They carried files and papers of many years. The weight of the files represents the years they spent pleading, begging and seeking justice. Over the years, the burden and weight is such that they pull it along on a wooden trolley. They hold each other's hands tight as they fight another battle, another date, another adjournment, year after year. This is the best example of our justice delivery system which is lax, insensitive and lacks empathy.
For students who want to invest themselves in social change, impact lives whilst perusing a successful career, Law is the best option. Choosing law is choosing to be the voice for people such as this old couple. To fight for justice where injustice reigns. As a lawyer, you don’t just change laws—you change lives. You stand in the gap for the marginalized, protect the vulnerable, and challenge the status quo. Law isn’t just a career; it’s a mission to shape a fairer world, where every individual, no matter their background, has a chance at justice. The ripple effect of your work will touch families, communities, and entire societies. Law gives you the power to leave an indelible mark on humanity's fight for equality.
PS. This picture was taken by colleague of mine when we were at the court.
@KashifKakvi What was the action taken by the Commandant of the unit? Some yeats ago miscreants touched inappropriately female relatives of RR officers in Delhi. After the FIR, the Commandant sent a batch of jawans with a JCO. Shopkeepers identified miscreants. Treatment given.
@KashifKakvi Why a political party has to come in and demand compensation? Isn't that the job of the local administration to instantly reach out to the family and the higher ups? Yet we call them Sarkar Mai Baap!!!

@TheDilliMirror Raju's stall - corner backside CR Park Mkt No.1. First taste both types of water (kattha - mitha) and a spoonful of the mix that goes into the puchhka, if it's too spicy or salty or less. Then tell the server how you want yours. Papri chaat is also good.
