Dear G1G2 and its regular readers (presuming that there are no stalkers. Who would stalk on me anyways???),
I have been really out of touch and deliberately so. As you all know I am not on facebook anymore so you, dear G1G2, are the facebook, okut and all other social networking mediums of this minutely social person who walked out of “social networking” a few months back. I only tweet rarely. And twitter too has become an office tool since we started representing ex big chief of IPL. Okay as a principle I wont ever discuss my office or work here. It isn’t that I was super social before this. To my surprise I was told by someone that I am a Social Butterfly. But then again it is not unreasonable as everyone has his own perception which must be accepted as it is. Okay accepting all perceptions as they are, here is the brief record of a few things happening with me or things which I have come across and thought about:
First of all many congratulations to all those who have been placed in the first session of placements this year at NLIU. It’s a delightful news that placements are back on track and of course behind this success is the lady with the magic wand – Dr. Raka Arya. Res Ipsa Loquitur. I hope the glory-hunters now realize that placements are not a cakewalk. Ofcourse, I am taking away the credits from students, their merits and the hard-working committee. But then it is not that the students from previous batch were less meritorious or so. So, it has to be the magic wand.
It is damn funny but true as well that Lawyers do not get credit card easily. Especially those like me who are located out of their hometowns and staying on rented premises and not having too many assets to show. I do have an office credit card and it isn’t like that I badly need a credit card. In fact I am totally against this concept of credit howsoever practical it may be. My third credit card application got rejected last week. And the most ironical thing is that the bank this time is HDFC. Boy! Everyone knows that we do so many transactions for HDFC but you cant get their card. Very stupid but true.
I have been so busy and more than that so much out of touch with my friends that I did not even know that Danish took a very big step to convert his idea into a movie. Yeh Gustaakhi hai. Aur jisme yeh gustaakhi karne ki himmat nahi hoti who bada bhi nahi bann sakta. Main abhi bhi aisi koi gustaakhi karne hi himmat juta raha hoon. Insha Allah……tumhara yeh project kamyab ho. Aaj nahi toh kal ho lekin zaroor ho.
Okay I am taking my own liberty to discuss something about my work. Not what type, variety, nature of work but something about satisfaction. Apart from doing work for big fishes, big banks, developers, etc, working on very small matters of wills, family disputes, making old couples, men, women feel secured about their properties n similar such matters which provide repief to them give a lot of satisfaction. Trust me. At the end of the day you (at least I) don’t even care to know how fast numbers in your bank account are increasing.
My Brother just came back from Australia and got settled here with a new job here. And just see his luck. He is now going to France and Switzerland for training. What a luck. If anyone know palm and foot reading, please come and tell me ki mere haath mein kuch aisa yog hai ki nahi?????
The Mumbai v. Delhi debate has increased like mad. This is good about Delhi, that is bad about Mumbai. Even a minister in UPA Government during BCCI disciplinary comm. proceedings made a statement (off the record obviously) about how Mumbai lawyers tend to increase the size and bulk of their documents. Very unfair. This is not true as I have experienced it. People here care so much about environment. Its not that much as well but better than anywhere else. But I am neither for nor against for Delhi or Mumbai. I love and enjoy both the cultures and I am not at all a city specific person. Except Jabalpur and Indore, put me anywhere. I so badly wish to go back to Bhopal and settle there. I might just do it. Wait for a few years.
I am still confused whether to buy a classic 500 or a car. I have to buy either of these within next 6 months.
I have to cover mansarovar or amaranth, Bangkok, Andmaan and Europe in about next 2-3 years. I really have to. I am not including in the list rest of India which I am going to visit as and when opportunity strikes.
I never ever thought that I will have hair like what I have right now. It has been 75 days since I last used a comb. Thanks to elders, senior partners in office who tolerate me this way. Its not at all indecent but still only a couple of people have their hair like that. Every looks sober as I used to. Ha ha. I am still sober but do not look like one. Its damn cool. I am liking it.
“Dil ko laga ki tumse kuch kahoon... lekin zubaan ko laga ki kya main dil ki sunoon??? Dimaag inhi khayalon mein uljha raha aur ehsaas hi nahi hua ki hum kitni aagey nikal gaye!!”
Phir Milenge.
