Home

I am heading for home day after tomorrow. The period of 5 years passed by so quickly that, at times I feel I stepped into the premises of NLS (soon to be my alma mater) only a couple of weeks back. The grief of leaving an entire gamut of things, places and people associated with law school- friends, teachers, hostel et.al.; far outweighs the prospect of happiness that I hope to derive from spending time in the city I hail from and with my family. When I force (only because my mind is weary with grief) myself to think about aspects of my life at law school that I will miss the most; those idle conversations with friends- in room, on hostel rooftop, in class, in Nagarbhavi ... stand out- it is amazing to think how those desultory (often nonsensical) conversations played a major part in developing and nurturing a bond so strong. Before I end this post, I must acknowledge the role of my best friend in making my stay in Bangalore a pleasant experience- often, at great discomfort to herself. Although a number of not so pleasant accounts of my prospective workplace and about professional life in general have been conveyed to me; being an incorrigible optimist that I am; I hope my experience in professional life makes me say ... It was all worth it!!
