And while we are talking of deaths, mysteries and conspiracies around Shahjahanabad, let me also shamelessly replug my old piece on Shahjahanabad, a Mughal Prince and what killed him.

1. There is no Kendriya Sachivalaya in Varanasi. 2. There is a state Sachivalaya in Lucknow, and everyone calls it that. 3. For any Hindi speaker, Sachivalaya is much easier to pronounce than Secretariat. 4. No one says "Kya Bola" in Varanasi.
My friend was in Varanasi and he asked an auto guy in his best Hindi to take him to Kendriya Sachivalaya. "Kya bola?" the auto guy said, "secretariat bolo na, Hindi mein.".

There is literally no space for kids in this country to play anywhere. Growing up, I have played hockey, and cricket on cemented lanes and tar roads and regularly ended up with bruised knees, and elbows. And unkills even want to take away every little space from the kids!.
the little kids in my apartment building accidentally damaged a car's glass playing cricket and the secretary banned them from playing so now they're canvassing every door to get signatures to allow them to play again like little union workers.

Only God can save that country where people treat "coaching teachers" as public intellectuals.

The worst example of shamelessness is publicly attacking a parent of two special children who faces difficulty in finding a suitable accommodation. Above all rules and laws, is empathy. Some brownie points you score going after two kids with special needs!.

No other profession is so terrible to its new professionals as law is. There is no support mechanism for juniors, and law students. They have no voice, and no rights. This is appalling. I hope some senior member of the Bar steps up and stops this harrasment!.
A certain practicing advocate, who was active here quite recently, is threatening, harrassing and blackmailing my friends and acquaintances to give him my number for atleast a week now. As a woman living alone in a strange city, I'm concerned about my safety. This is a blatant.

First rule of litigation- Never lose your temper before the Bench. It is a great mistake to antagonize the court for the momentary satisfaction of scoring off a judge. For the advocate, the matter is his bread and butter, but for the client, it's his life at stake!.
DHC (after some heated/mild exchange bw judge & lawyer):. Lawyer: Pls dont take my remarks personally. Judge : Then dont make remarks personally. Context: Judge had imposed costs on lawyer/his client for not complying wid prev order & lawyer said it was quite harsh. .

President Kennedy, Nixon, & Johnson have used the F word, but they did so on private telephonic chats. The first Vice President to publicly use the F word was Vice President Biden. And now President Trump has set a new record. Thank you for your attention in this matter!.
So has Donald Trump become the first US President to use the F word in a presser?.
