Bleh

I haven't felt like writing in a while. Still don't.

Bleh.

That said, Nair has grown into the kind who can just wake up one day and go into court without a problem, reasonably confident of handling what comes his way. Yes, there will be days when I look a right mug, but godwilling I'll survive.

I can also drop out of the sky into an unfamiliar courtroom and do a decent job. I'm a decent lawyer, I think. I'm organized and reasonably efficient. I work hard, ummmm...when its me appearing. I don't really bother that much when its not me being the spearhead. True. I should work on this.

I'm a lousy networker though. What's to be done?

I'm also fat. FAT FAT FAT!

Sigh. There's only so much time I can spend in the gym. Its boooooooooooooring!

There's only so much food I can give up too.

Sniff.

Goodbye happy potatoes. :(.

Its also official. Madras has the most rabid advocates, and the lousiest courtrooms. Is why going on my all expense paid trips here and there to argue is so much easier. Things are just not as rough as well.... maybe Delhi. Or Bombay. Is that what they mean when they say standards at the Bar?

Is like what they say of New York. If you make it here, you can make it anywhere. Bangalore and Hyderabad are a cakewalk compared to this.

But, I'm not complaining. With any luck, I'll win. It seemed alright with the judge on my side. For the most part anyway. Whether its the articulation, or the skin colour, or the organization with which arguments are presented, or the sheer work that goes into preparing additional paperwork just for the judge, judges seem to like me.

Its a useful feeling. I have credibility. I don't make dumb arguments. I don't argue when I think I don't have an argument. It helps, I suppose. I just hope things work out for me on this basis, and that I don't get swallowed up by the sharks. I've managed to be reasonably ethical so far.

On the subject of sharks, stop whining ok? I've been busy. And I'm getting busier. Boycott's been lifted. And there's that other thing. Sigh. That other thing. Sends shivers down the spine. So...show some understanding.

Or I shall insist you rename your blog to something on the lines "Look at him, he's so awful to me. Won't somebody do something? Bachao, Kaapaathunge" or something.

Boo.
