Whenever the vast tracts of ‘dense vegetation’ on my arms glare at me, irritation seeps in. my eyes literally trim through them to leave behind smooth plain ‘land’, on which my mind’s senses feast. As also, when the eye brows manifest themselves as something more than neat curves of suave hair, my h...

“Next time, the eleven of us are on a corporate deal, or fighting it out in the court; we’ll know that you don’t win till the scoreboard says so”. Cricket in my college is a lesser religion.

We all want to be successful. No one can deny it. Although our definitions of success are often very different from one another. When I decided to do law, I wanted to be successful. I wanted enough money for survival and normal luxuries and also serve the society. I had a dream. My dream was my defi...

Here we were, minding our own business, enjoying life in our ‘National’ Law University when we were dealt a heavy blow by the university’s trinity of ruthless hands: Bureaucracy, Vindictiveness and Subjectivity.
