These judgements are my little works of art. Is how I see 'em. I happen to know the effort that went into them. Even if, at the end of the day, a lot of this is down to luck.
It keeps me happy. Makes me feel like I'm putting a foot forward on that long road with the dream at the end.
It helps.
Its hard. The whole world is moving forward. I see people getting married, and I instantly think to myself..."I suppose you have the job security to think of such things". These fancy jobs, and the money...oh the money.
Its odd really. At the same time I look at the things they do, and the things I do, and my goodness the work I do is so much more interesting. By some distance, it really is. And harder, I think. Shouldn't I be paid more?
Bleh. Wasn't as hard to say as I thought it might be. Really. Its more important to pay me than you. It really is.
How presumptious of me, I know. Perhaps you must be paid more simply because you don't do what I'm doing.
I've just become acquainted with this facebook phenomenon. Is how I've heard of it anyway.
The facebook description says, among other things:
Whether you work for a law firm, a Legal Process Outsourcing company, a non-governmental or public interest organization interested in legal/policy issues, or whether you serve as an in-house counsel, a judge, a legal academic or a non-lawyer who routinely deals with legal issues, we understand that keeping abreast of legal developments in India and around the world is a critical aspect of your professional life.
Neatly excludes me then. And no, law firms don't include me. Not when your type uses it.
Bar and Bench has very little about the Bar or the bloody Bench. (On another note, must blog about that scumbag fake pious judge yesterday). Symptomatic really. It just isn't on the radar. Of these people anyway.
India Inc. makes me sick.
And here I am, desperately hawking my soul to anybody who'll buy it. Is it worth it?
Oh well. Maybe I will make it at the Bar. I've got more stuff on my plate now. Its really nice. I've gotten used to the consumer courts and can do most things there. Its comfortable. I was there a couple of days back and a lot of people noticed I'd been gone for a while. I know what I'm doing. Its a nice feeling, yes? The High Court isn't so bad either.
Except for the chap who said "Oh, didn't you apply to....", from chap with the law firm job.
"Yes, I did". Smile through clenched teeth. I'm here to do battle, sweetheart. What're you here for?
Arrogant. I know. But I've to let loose sometimes. As I said, its hard living a life where everybody else is well, I wouldn't say moving on to bigger and better things...but making so much more money. And yes, that matters.
Pride is all I've got. Nair has WON both his cases so far. Others ongoing. Its a one hundred percent record. Bloody hell that's something.
Oh and...just so you know, where I come from, where I've been and where I'm going, having an LL.M. means nothing. So...stop advertising it, please.
Chip & Dale Associates boast a strong watchamacallit practice group, with one partner and five associates, three of whom have completed master's degrees.
HA, HA and HA.
Bleh. Such a bitter post this is.
