I know you’re not actually scared of getting a disease that primarily affects children. So this is just about not wanting to go to office. How selfish is this? Do you realise the lockdowns tanked the world economy ? That can drivers and house cleaners and vegetable hawkers, store owners lost money they’d spent their lives saving because they had to bear the brunt of your luxury belief/ paranoia? How selfish can you be that you just want to avoid work that much even if it screws over the working class? You don’t have to do a job you dislike this much. Have some balls and quit. Don’t make your shitty decisions everyone else’s problem.

Great move if she does it. But she is too arrogant and stubborn! Only hope is Delhi election factor, since the middle class is important in Delhi.

I’m a physiatrist and can address this issue. It seems you have been taking a lot of stress and anxiety. Prolonged stress and anxiety has a devastating effect on your prefrontal cortex, basil ganglia and other critical parts of brains having cognitive functioning. All of this has caused the issue with your working memory.

But you don’t need to worry, there are treatments to reverse the neurological damages by taking some medicines (not anti depressants or anxiety pills) which help regenerate the areas.

did you use any cannabis products while in college or school? cannabis induced dementia is also one of the things that could affect your active memory, try consulting a doctor, take vitamins and please meditate daily for a few hours, stay away from screens as less as possible, try considering on taking a sabbatical or a career break for your health.

If you are doubtful, you can start at SLSN for now and wait for other results. You can even start now first and then give clat again the next year. The workload in first year isn't much, only feels overwhelming since its all so new. If you keep your priorities straight and prepare well, you may very well get a better college

There is competition in SLS as well. It's not exactly like you call them and ask them for a seat and they give it no questions asked. There is SLAT exam and then there is interview as well. People who get selected in both of them only get the seat. I don't know about the validity of this metric but apparently 20k people gave SLAT this year and there's only 1k seats or something. SLS is not a low hanging fruit anymore.

I'm feeling bored and disconnected at my job, and I sense that I don't quite fit in. Although I'm competent in my role, I struggle to form meaningful connections with my colleagues. I experience fleeting moments of happiness, particularly at night, but these feelings disappear when I attend court hearings in the morning. My anxiety resurfaces, leaving me feeling out of place.

As a recent joiner, I haven't been assigned a substantial workload, which might be contributing to my dissatisfaction. Furthermore, I'm starting to realize that I may not be genuinely interested in the specific area of law I'm currently working in. I'd appreciate any input or guidance on how to navigate this situation.

Honestly not a great article. Argues that consumption will increase if income tax is reduced but says he did not calculate revenue implications and simply states that increased GST, due to increased consumption, will compensate. FIrstly, GST rates (in percentage) are nowhere that of income tax. Secondly, there are many more leakages in GST collection. Not to mention people will disproportionately increase saving and investment as percentage saving is down.

While I agree tax rates should be reduced till certain bracket, reducing tax rate to 20% till 1 crore is just ridiculous. 1 crore is about USD 116,000 that’s more than average salary in US and will put you just under top 20 percentile in USA. Adjust for PPP that’s more than USD 417000 easily putting you in top 2% of US, this is by no means middle class.

This is true, not being trollish (as this website likes to call it). In Mumbai this allows you to live very comfortably as a single person but if you’re supporting a partner and a kid it’s not that much money. 2 cr pre tax would also not be rich, it would be upper middle class.

Or will the TLC lobby still resist and only hire TLC products?

Because the innovation of NLUs wasnt actually the five year degree. Why would that be the case? Why would studying something for more years not make you better at it? The innovation of NLUS was- a) attracting students who were serious about their legal careers, these kids knew in their teens they wanted to be lawyers so it wasnt your typical law student that did a number of things before turning to the law as a last resort and b) at a time when state universities were circling the drain with politics and no good faculty and no academic rigor at all, NLUs decided not to do that. they decided to hire good faculty and impose academic rigor, for example- you had to have 75% attendance to write exams- rules that were barely enforced in state universities and still arent.

Just doing those things will get you to a certain place. But it wont make you competitive or rigorous as good multidisciplinary universities that also impose rigor. You realise the difference when you study at an Ivy or an Oxford. Their lawyers take courses in machine learning and design. They really learn in an interdisciplinary way- it's not just about tacking on a couple of social sciences articles to your lesson plan- it's about being able to learn entirely differently.

Even just something as basic as sociology. Indian law students hate the subject by and large and think they're burdened by learning it- but the truth is they just read some academic theory under the guise of sociology, they wouldnt know how to write or evaluate a sociological research paper, they wouldn't know how to interview a subject without getting argumentative or leading them on , they wouldn't know how to construct a survey or what a good sample size would be. theyre barely educated at anything beyond the law.

You have two courses in political science, and most people in Indian law schools don't know how to read a poll or what to make of a political science paper really. Don't even get me started on economics. Learning the coase theorem and supply and demand doesn't actually mean you understand the basics of how markets work or how countries develop.

So on a world stage- you really cannot compete with someone who had a good education in their BA and in their LLB. You won't get jobs at the World Bank, you won't get jobs teaching at Harvard law school, and you won't get jobs working at the UN. You barely even get hired by consulting firms because they want graduates who have been taught to use their brains and problem-solve rather than memorise and regurgitate case law. What most Indian law students end up doing- pushing paper at a law firm- is really all they are capable of doing. They're severely limited. A law degree is supposed to be a generalist degree that opens up all sorts of opportunities. But Indian law degrees are not that. Because there aren't good multidisciplinary universities.

It's hard to imagine something you haven't seen. That is probably why most Indian law school students dont understand what these sad excuses for social sciences courses are supposed to be imitating.

Sadly, showing off has become the whole purpose of life for young Indians, because of YOLO culture and FOMO culture. One travel influencer girl in India spent 50 lakhs in a year on travel, just to post reels. She is being celebrated in the media and SM for this, as if she is some sort of hero! See these articles:

KCo without a doubt. CAM has a non-existent IP practice and half a team with hardly any IP experience. Have watched people leave CAM irrespective of the pay check and the work life balance in the IP team (since there was hardly ever any work) because there was no experience that they were gaining.

The beginning of the end! Sure, Feku and Tax Tai could give us tax relief and boost the economy, through consumption, but it’s not so easy. The middle class will prefer to save extra money, rather than spend, because they have been suffering for so long. If these two think they can win elections through freebies alone and neglect the middle class, they are sorely mistaken.

I think we should get ready now for a Congress government in 2029.

Ah! HPNLU been teaching you deliberate and malicious misconstruction, have they? The comment wasn't very well-worded, but yes, it remains applicable in some law schools in India, not all (NLS and one or two others being prominent exceptions), but certainly in HPNLU. And if the best you can do as an argument is to engage in name-calling, your dad shouldn't be wasting money in an LLM for you.
