Sad to see trolls making fun of the 6 hour hunger strike. It’s the sentiment and symbolism that matters, not the number of hours. The point is that NLU students cannot travel to Jantar Mantar and join in person, so they are contributing in whatever little way they can. They have to juggle attendance, projects, internships, placements, exams, a whole lot of stuff. It’s very stressful and there is a lot of work. Even if the hunger strike lasts for just one day and is only of six hours duration, it’s quite a sacrifice. Please support them instead of mocking them.

What the heck is a 6 hour hunger strike ? How do people say this stuff with a straight face ? It’s the difference between lunch and dinner - so you missed your snacks and tea ? Do yall realise how it makes it seem like you have no convictions ? Youre teaching people to protest ? Yall are so molly coddled you don’t even know how ridiculous you’re being.

I’m not saying - do hunger strike for real. I’m saying - behave with a bit of integrity. Don’t inflate everything you do and are for social media likes. Going six hours without food isn’t a hunger strike, it’s barely even a diet. There was a world before you where people would die doing this- it used to move people because that’s how much someone cared about an issue. It used to compel the goodness in people. Have a little goddamn shame and stop smelling your own farts and calling it perfume.

This even happened during those rubbish Palestine protests where there was “rotating hunger strike” in places like Princeton - students were taking shifts being on strike- ha! If you’re convinced there’s a genocide and all you’re going to do about it is stagger your meals a bit - that’s how little you can be arsed- leave alone convincing anyone else - you don’t seem convinced yourself!

NLU students should stay away from the CJP and instead protest at a more elite and sober level, befitting the stature of NLUs. The CJP is not an organisation that is based on intellectual theorising and critical reasoning. The protest is filled with aggressive Delhi males. Organisations like AISA are a minority here. The CJP people are types who get their knowledge of the world from Dhruv Rathee, rather than from reading the NYT or the Wire. Have they even heard of the kind of scholars and jurists we read and discuss? Foucault, Baxi, RBG, Krishna Iyer etc?

Let’s protest against Modi but stay classy, please.

It’s hilarious that these guys are protesting against corruption in education, yet making Mahua Moitra a guest at the protest and giving her a platform. She represents a party that has been involved in some of the biggest education scams in the country.

Sorry, but the CJP is a joke.

I've gotten this. Indian qualified advocates are usually granted this almost without exception - the officer managing your case will just ask you a few questions and then proceed. You need to have someone who supervised you for two years write a letter of reference- broadly stating your duties at that particular chamber or firm- and say how many hours you worked per week.

Babies, ye aapka bhi guild protection hai. You are thinking you will work for foreign firms. You will be at the chamcha level if they can bring in foreigners for the plum lawyering. Enjoy the few captured jobs our citizenship currently gives us access to. Half the London jobs also come because we can do work in India that the firangs can't.

Since the law firm circle is so small and mostly interlinked it gives birth to a strange situation.

The people who yearn for foreign law firms to enter the nation cannot protest, as those who protest will likely be targetted and blacklisted or shadowbanned by Indian law firms and SILF.

If your family's financial situation is as you described it, you can't afford to have first world problems like mental health issues. You have to tough it out. Also if you're an A0 in a Tier 1 firm, how do you have time to think about your mental health? I didn't have time to breathe? Just keep working and you'll be ok in 2 to 3 years, when you have others sharing the workload.

1. I am no fan of the BCI and its way of doing things. I tend to think that it is one of the most appalling lawyers' regulators in the world.

2. Nor am I an OCI lawyer working in India.

3. But I must say, I don't see anything that suggests reciprocity is being done away with. Of course, maybe I am missing something not mentioned in the story or where the story was incorrect, but your linking it implies that you are relying on the news story. Therefore, can you clarify what you mean?

I’m from a Tier 2 NLU and just got my rejection yesterday, after clearing the benchmark on the test. Hadn’t expected much considering I don’t come in the top 5 of my Batch, even though my extracurriculars and achievements are great. HSF is know to prefer batch toppers if they take from tier 2 / 3s (if at all)

Sanjay Kumar is a Luthra veteran with great clientele. He is a part of the OG Luthra Litigation setup. Unless your Saraf internship is directly under Sanjeev Sharma, you should absolutely go for Sanjay Kumar. Needless to say, if you impress either of them, you may get an offer.

Best of luck.

But he does have a history:

- Mocked JNU PhD student and CPIM candidate Dipsita Dhar over her dark complexion: said she is invisible at night

- Said Mahua Moitra is a gold-digger who has married someone her father's age

Don't want to take drugs. Any natural hacks that than can help, other than reducing screen time and sleeping?

I do realise that people on Instagram are fake and not as rich, happy and successful as they make out to be, but I still feel like a failure after seeing their reels. Hence this state of mind.
