Welcome to the Blog!!

 hi!!

I really do not have any idea how you discovered this blog, but if you did, I hope I make it worthwhile for you to go through whatever shit I can come up with and put it out for you to read. There are couple of introductory questions I would like to answer before you can actually read some blogs.


What is this blog all about? 

I am currently a student, at a top-law university in India. As you could guess, I aspire to be a lawyer. However, it has taken me some time now to really understand what a good lawyer would be. Because there are some notions which I had before getting into my college. Then there was an environment which I got into, which continuously kept on trying to teach me the definition of a a good lawyer (will talk a lot about these in coming blogs), and then there were actual great lawyers I read about, talked to or heard them speak who taught me something about their own perspective to be a good lawyer. 

After understanding all these perspectives I have come to understand how badly the environment around me (honestly I assume all law schools are doing this) is misguiding me. There are students who are recklessly following these advises being passed on from people who are frontrunners of a rat-race which started years ago, thinking only about that race and forgetting about their goal of being a lawyer (I am presuming that all law students, actually wish to become good lawyers). 

Consider this blog to be from a person who has actively tried to get out of that race, sit at as an audience and identify what mistakes these students are committing, simply because they are refusing to use their own brain. I wish to educate students about possibilities and realities of being a lawyer, instead of a participant of the rat race. 


Why even bother reading this blog? 

I don't necessarily have an answer to that. As a senior student, I have actually talked to a lot of juniors who are very evidently getting sucked to being a part of that race. Who start with an open mind, but get forced to following a path that was set up by god knows who, but has become a standard path for students who wish to make it "big"!! (idk, I guess getting a gold medal in that race??)

Read this blog, if you wish to even understand what lies outside the race. I plan to talk about my experiences, anecdotes I have heard from my seniors across the field. Lawyers who have actually made it big, before these rat races started. Lawyers who are trying to make it big while BEING A PART of these rat races. I will share stories about lawyers we hear about in landmark cases, lawyers about whom memoirs are written and lawyers who have left a legacy greater than any other. 


What will I get if I read this blog?

Couple of jokes. I can promise only this. 

Guidance, insights, experiences, realities, etc. are some things which you might get, but please be assured that you will have a good time reading whatever I write, because 2 of my friends have told me in life that I could also do good as a standup comic. (I hope they were right:) )


Thank you if you have even read this much. Consider subscribing to the blog if the idea of leaving that race behind sounds even moderately comforting, innovative, courageous or any other adjective you like.

What exactly is the Rat Race? How do we even identify it?

 Hi, I have multiple times mentioned the existence of a ubiquitous rat race. No matter whether you are a student or even a professional trying to climb up the corporate ladder, there will be a race, or as others would term it, professional incentives, which you will be chasing. Firstly, I wish to make it clear, that the rat race in itself is not the problem we should be dealing with. If a person who is smart enough to understand the pragmatism behind being an ideal-student,  then the rat race can actually benefit that person. It will provide you the most clear-cut path for an aspirational student to follow. It will tell you exactly what you need to do to achieve success, which can easily be pre-determined and defined. Why? Because countless people have walked through that path, and time and again proved that the race works. If you are not looking for a creative outcome and want a certain type of security in your future, then the race works. The reason why I find a problem with...

Introducing myself and why I think my writing could benefit you.

 Hi again.  This is a question i have asked myself atleast a million times whenever i have thought about putting my thoughts out there. Why would anyone with a right mind read me and try to seek some advise from me.  But you know what? Because i actually am smart and practical enough to give you a piece of advice which can really help you out. This is something i took ages to realise first, and secondly, accept. I have talked to bunch of my junior friends who have entered my college with such a confused outlook that they wish to do everything but dont think they can do anything. its really disheartening to see them trying to grasp what is going on. however, i have been able to guide atleast few juniors on how to take in college. how to settle in. i have helped them recognise the very rat race i stand against. with the same intent i wish to write here, talk to anyone who might need the help or whatever advise, to STAY AWAY FROM THE RAT RACE.  Now why would reading me ...
