Litigation Diaries

Sometime, some decisions are not just decisions...

In my last semester of college life, almost everybody was certain about their professional life and so I was. I must admit that my so called preachers in college has made huge difference in my decision making power. Now I can suitably ignore such preaching and can decide my own course of life in a more straight forward manner. There are various set of people in this world. there is one set of people who is ready with their exactly opposite view whenever you seek for any opinion. One suitable example from my own life may be:

Me: Yar I was thinking for sitting for campus placements. I don't know whether I would be able to handle well with my uncertain career in litigation or not.

Mr. Concerned: I don't see any reason as to why you have been thinking like this when you were very much determined for your career in litigation. provided the kind of skills and innovation of ideas you possess, I personally feel that you should go for litigation.

After few days:

Me: yar finally I have decided not to sit for placements. now I'm sure that I am going for litigation and I know that I will do well.

Mr. Concerned: have you gone mad!!! you don't know about the no. of lawyers get enrolled every year. Perhaps you don't even know about the kind of uncertainty prevailing in the market. Moreover if you go for a job then then you will be sure about a sum of money coming at the end of month.

Needless to say that I kept mum and decided to choose my future without consulting this Mr. concerned again. moreover neither my grades nor my attitude towards the corporate legal world have made me survive in the world of job mongers. so finally I decided not to sit for college placements. Although many had to say that not much difference would have been created even if I was there.

Finally after contemplating a lot about how to begin my litigation career, I landed in this world of art. Probably I was one of the privileged people to start my practice independently from very first day under the guidance of Mr. K.K. Rai, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India.
