Behind the Black Coat: A Glimpse into Life Beyond Courtrooms

Being a lawyer is high-pressure. You are constantly dealing with court kacheri ki bhagdaud—the relentless running around—and the weight of people's problems. To sustain that, you need a genuine outlet. For me, that is cricket. Even with a history of an L4-L5 injury, I ensure I am on the field. It is not just about the game; it is about mental clarity.

When I am not arguing a bail application or analyzing a charge sheet at Rouse Avenue, I am often working on maintaining that balance. My clients often ask if the law consumes my life. My answer is always the same: if you cannot take care of yourself, you cannot fight for others effectively. Whether I am in a black coat or festive ethnic wear at a family wedding, the discipline remains. I am a firm believer that Mahadev's grace guides my path, both in personal life and professional ethics. Understanding this human side of your advocate helps in building the trust required when you hand over your legal future to someone.
