WAS PURSUING LAW PLANNED OR DID IT ALL HAPPEN BY CHANCE?
As a child, I was fascinated by the thought-process and lifestyle of my father’s Uncle, who was a leading lawyer. Neither my father, who’s a senior physician, professor, and an eminent author, nor my mother, who’s a children’s author and educationist, quite liked the idea that I should become a lawyer
In fact, while I was still in school, my father, in order to dissuade me, once took me to Patiala House district courts. However, despite the existing chaotic conditions, I found the experience exhilarating. The laws, their technicalities and interpretations, enthralled me. I found the nuances of court-craft electrifying.
A fire grew in my belly that I must become a lawyer and serve the people to find justice. My alma mater, National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata, and the many internships that I did in my student days, stoked the flame. My passion grew into an eternal romance. The magic lives on each day.
