But this time they r sounding serious .... lets see what happens .... the biggest problem is that they r not able to find a perfect match for me ...

I am not Advertising!

Because I can't. It is banned under the Code of Conduct to advertise about your ability as a lawyer! Please don't ask me, why!
Ohkay, you can actually, ironically, they say that a noble profession like law should not be corrupted by advertisements.. *YEAH, I rolled my eyes too when I got to know the reason*, Law and noble, they don't really go hand in hand.
But I feel that the real reason behind this is, so that the lawyers don't end up giving importance to advertising and forget that they really are to help people. The funny thing though is, that a well known lawyer is a well known lawyer, by the word of mouth, and therefore, it becomes really important for us to be at our best, and to do our best with the client. That is the reason why a lawyer would defend a criminal! Because, that is his job. And he has to be true to his client. The conflict of the inner conscience comes later. Yes, lawyers have a moral conscience and they pray to God! But then, they believe in 'Work is Worship'.

It is a known fact that for a young lawyer without a backing in this profession, it is a very long fight to actually have a stable base and to get a substantial income home. *A BIG reason why you would find a lot of lower court lawyers unmarried, especially those who are not from Delhi* *And a BIG reason why my was so averse to me becoming a lawyer, her favourite crack at the profession is, "Who will marry a lawyer?"* Thus, every client that comes your way, even if it is something as small as just making of an Affidavit, it is a big thing to do it. If nothing else, atleast you know that tomorrow if there is some legal work, he may think of you as the first person to come to!

So, I am also a young advocate, *I even have a certificate and an I-card to prove it* and even though I have a law chamber waiting for me, I am a little greedy and I want to do something on my own, it makes me happier and gives me confidence. So, at least, all of you all, if you have anything that has anything to do with my profession, you know how to find me!
But, please, this is not advertising! :)

The Best Teacher ::::>> LiFe

There are few things life taught me in such short span of time,i just felt like sharing with you guys as i feel friends are the second family...

• A man have no idea what will happen in future still he leave no stone unturn to make future plans.Sometimes it get some how happen others NOT
• Every thing in life happens for a reason,if you sit down and think with calm head you will get to know that everything happens consequently and also each incident triggers other.
• There is always a importance of every person you meet in your life,some time you get to know that at once else sometimes it takes ages.
• If you experience a height of happiness a black face of sorrow is hiding behind it,after shadow of sadness hopefully happiness is waiting to come (i am waiting for it!!)
• you never know the importance of something unless you lose it (i know everyone know it,still.....)
• God always takes away some thing you love the most,and i guess he love to do that.people say this way he test you as he is the one who gave you.
• And the most special one, when you have nothing to loose you will feel awesome strength within you!!!(i experienced it)

Only a modest post

So finally a post from my side after a looooong time. May be my last post or last comment was way back in 2003!!.(even the archive disowned it).So the fear of getting ousted from this blog is what forced me to scribble something and mark my presence.

As a matter of fact, the concept of blogging has always eluded me. I have always tried to make sense of blogging but only succeeded partially. ‘I never do stuffs which do not come naturally to me’-this is what I told myself. But now I can trace the reason... When I was in Kolkata and half the college(not exaggerating!) was staying together in Kolkata, I never felt the urge to communicate with my friends via cyber space while in physical space I was sharing rooms with them, and sometimes bed(no pun intended).Albeit few of my best pals were in different places, the large number of new found friendships occupied the void. But now after coming to Bangalore, for few initials days the suddenly created ‘social circle’ void nearly choked me.But I recovered quickly, thanks to the skin-friendly climate and delicious eateries of Bangalore. May be this is how ‘self preservation’ works. As last night I was browsing through Karma’s newly posted pics from his London itineraries and chatted online with Andy in the morning, the memories of good ol’days came rushing back in my mind and the reminiscence of Kolkata days were enough to tickle my funny bones. In Bangalore I have been deprived of this funny moments. I can no longer crack jokes seamlessly here while talking to people, as half of my energy is wasted in deciphering the head gesture of them which looks something between a ‘yes’ n ‘no’:).

Am I facebook illiterate?

I feel energetic today. So back to back posts!!(actually got nuthin to do in my room)

Shanoob wanted to upload some of my photos on facebook but I pleaded him not to becoz facebook scares me. I have never understood the privacy settings(n I do not intend to) of facebook.If somebody uploads something,chances are there that virtually all facebook users will get that update!...and my this belief got firmly established when one of my school friends got update about my commenting on Karma’s snaps last night. How on earth he got that!!...

That’s why I use facebook as little as possible.While navigating on the pages I try to dodge all potential ‘data leaks’ by clicking less and scrolling more.Here are some of the sample 'news feeds' which caught my attention.....

# Shayantan’s comments(always on top)-first few words of his comments invariably are “WTF”,”What the hell” ,”holy s***”,”f***”etc (A one-stop place of slang vocab builder)

#A and B are now friends with C and D who commented on E’s photo(none of ‘em are my frnds:)..)

#only ‘Like’ buttons but no ‘don’t like’ button!!

Saying a warm Hi to all & expecting a hot Hi back....

I have heard people saying the more you get experience the more wiser you are
so here is a wiser aaisha, who has experience of extreme happiness ,being center of attraction ,hope ,love & as well as extreme of sorrow, loneliness, gloom, loss...................................

BUT still i believe in three magical words whatever you are going through IT JUST PASSES....
I was introduced to this BLOG by RAJ(mr. naam toh suna hoga) few months ago but i guess that wasn't the right time to get myself introduced & now here i am.

it is also said that the less you convey the more you arise interest..
so see you friends again soon with lots more ...
Aaisha.

BUSTED- Myths of Courts!

Heya Top Floorers!
First some GREAT news, I am an enrolled Advocate.. and now some Bad news, because of the stupid Bar examination that is supposed to happen in December, I am not allowed to practise in the courts as yet. And by practise it means that I cannot appear in front of a judge as an independent practising lawyer! But that does not mean that I can't give advise or not go to the court.
In the language of one of my seniors- I am nothing but glorified intern, who is allowed to wear the band and the gown!
But that also has an upside, I am not responsible for anything. I mean, I do my research and draft the petitions, but am not directly responsible to the clients.
So, yeah, I have been going to the Supreme Court of India for over a month.. and NO, SC IS HUGELY different from any of the courts that you all have seen in the movies. It is actually more of a circus than anything else...!!
My first hand experience about the Courts, well you can see it here!
But there are a couple of more things that you all must have seen in the Televisions or as a matter of fact in the Movies...

Like the statue of justice- There are none. Not in the Supreme Court, not in the High Court nor in any of the Lower courts that I have gone to. There is a plaque that says "Satyamev Jayate" on the back wall of the judges.

Oh, there is a secret door, from where the judges enter, and their attendants are not standing at their heads.. there are the court masters who are writing the orders as dictated by the judge in shorthand!
No, they do not break the tip of the pen any more, they hardly give any binding decisions, most of them are challenged the next day...

Oh and NO witnesses.. and no "Geeta pe haath rakh ke kasam khaao" this happens in the lower courts, but not in the Supreme Court! They just see, the expense- you have done on the lawyer!
The advocates in the Supreme Court ARE EXPENSIVE! Yup, there is a hierarchy.. and not every one who is an advocate can go and argue in the supreme court- BUT, if you are a common person, you can go as a petitioner in person and fight your case!
Yeah.. it is a funny world of Legal eagles.. and trust me- Every day, is a new surprise, and each day new fun...!!

PS: I will write the kind of things that the judges say in the court room.. soon! They are funny!

Happy Birthday- YO Man!!!

So, the Yo- Man is another year older- Any wiser? well, that only he can vouch for, whether or not he has become wiser.
Surprisingly, Mr. Mannu has become much more busier in his stint of teaching the kids english and making me them go abroad than what he was when he was working in his previous office. I have no clue whether he is looking more muscular than the last time I saw him because- It has been like ages since I saw him last. Yeah, we live in the same city and once a week he comes as close as 5 mins away from my house, but alas he is busy.

So here is wishing Mann, a VERY Happy Birthday... May God Bless him with all the more success, more money.. girls.. happiness and true love!
Cheers!!!

My City..My Life..5

Recap: 1 2 3 4

Thud.!! The last of the 'three steps at a time' run downstairs. Still an hour of regulated work hours left and there are some faces to evade before the gate is crossed. The steps slow down into cautious walk out of the gate, then it's a dash to the other office premises.

"Sir".

"Yes, quick tell me"

"I can offer you SDFC Bank's Platinum credit card, would you.."

"No, thanks"

A few seconds of frustrating stoppage. Thanks to the folks outside the office gate, you get everything from telephone connection to pirated Music CDs, but many a times they are very irritating.

Now, it's the three steps at a time climb up the stairs. I have to reach the 8th floor. Why is the elevator always packed, can't the people stay at their cubes and work !!

5 minutes or else punishment. I quickly go to the wash room and change into the attire. 'Gin lai' bow to Master and I heave a sigh of relief.

It's the weekly session of Jeet Kune Do. It's a martial art form 'evolutionized' by Bruce Lee which also has a philosophy. I have been a fan of Bruce Lee and when few weeks back, there was an ad for nominations for Jeet Kune Do classes; I enrolled and started the kicks and punches in a week's time. I have a kid friend whom I meet when I go to my parents. I used to give him some movie-inspired martial arts trainings, which was ridiculous but the kid loved it !! I call the kid 'Jeet Kune Do Kid', that's how his name is saved on my cell phone. Now, it's the time to learn some authentic moves and pass on the knowledge to the kid next time I go home. I can leave the philosophy part till the kid is a little older, innocence does not need understandings.

The Master brings her beautiful daughter with him. She teaches the JKD moves to the females in the class. She is my inspiration for the kicks to be high and the punches to be powerful. Will the Master give her daughter's hand if I win some JKD tournament and get a black belt? aah again dreaming !!

'Your change is approved'

'Thank you'

It's the weekly conference meeting and people from across the globe connect. One has to listen to a lot of unnecessary chatter over the conference calls which gets very long and boring. I have a lot a private fun listening to the courtesy exchanges and weather talks. The best is when the Chinese start, surely the day China learns the English language, it will be a threat to the Indian economy and they have already started. When the Chinese colleagues speak, you have to pick the key words, frame a meaningful sentence and reply !!

Call is over and so is office for the week. It's a dash once again like yesterday, but today I have to reach the Municipality Football ground. Thanks to my Thursdays and Fridays, I am feeling the 'spring' like fitness inside me. The population in this city is mad about the game of football and a regional channel has started a 'Football Reality Show' and has brought in Romario and Branco for it. The city also got a chance to meet the Golden Ball winner of the recently concluded FIFA world cup Diego Forlan. Surely the passion for the game is fantastic here in this part of our Country. I think if a strategy and plan is worked out for 20 years, we can indeed come up with a competitive Football team. Kerela, areas near Bengal and North-East can surely throw up some good players of international standards if given good facilities, training and conditioning. These areas I mentioned have a football culture and a strong willed Football association can certainly work wonders. Speaking of associations, the Commonwealth Games (CWG) baton will be in city on Sunday but the weather and the corruption in CWG has dampened my spirits to join the baton's rally. Hopefully, the games go through smoothly and the corrupt stakeholders are brought to law.

For now I'll finish off my game and look forward to weekend mornings' Jeet Kune Do sessions with Lusi Liew, the Master's daughter !!

Happy Friendship day

To all, thank you for being in my life.

I am stuck ....

this post came into my mind on reading the comments of last post ...

Yes i am stuck & stuck badly ... Three months & still counting for the next girl to come ...

i donno where all the girls have gone ... its the longest gap when i havent gone out with a girl for coffee or ice-cream...

or is it so that i have grown old ... i dont find girls of my age around me ... most of them have got married .... now since i dont have any girl in my life i dont have anything to write also ...

is there anything better than girls to talk about ...

I am also seeing changes in me too in past 3 months ... i dont want to try on someone from scratch, work so hard & at the end the result is zero ... but yes sometimes i feel the need of a girl by my side ... sometimes i feel lonely ....

when i look back i see that i have experience of all types of affairs - one sided love , full time gf , silent love ... so probably its the time that i should taste "arrange marriage" too ...

its quite late now .... i should go into my dreams - atleast il find my dream girl there .. good night people ...
