Yesterday I went out for dinner with other law schoolites to a place called Moolis which is run by erstwhile lawyers who graduated from law school. Frankly I loved the place - including the bland dal. When queried about why he chose to start a restaurant after doing law, the owner responded that he was always interested in some business opportunity. and above all he says that this is fun! Well then, heres to more fun!
And ofcourse when law schoolites gather around there is exchange of information and gossip... and sometimes it is downright bitchy... so when the fact that one of my classmates was mentioned as one of the top 50 inhouse legal counsels in India came up, the response was 'now you know how credible that report is'... implying that my classmate does not deserve it... I think it is the tendency of people to always find something bad in someones progress... mainly because they see that more as a lack of progress in their lives rather than as a progress in their friends lives.... which is really sad.... cos when will someone stop being maligned ? even the PM of India can be criticised saying he doesnt deserve it - he is there cos he is Sonia's choice.. or even Barack Obama may be pulled down by saying that he got elected only cos Bush was so bad.... well... jealousy has no end...and there are people who are going to be jealous ....
and ofcourse the famous AMSS bashing did rear its ugly head... so at one point somebody said 'and this person quit X law firm cos it had become like AMSS'... and the person looked at me straight while saying this trying hard to guage my response... my response 'so he quit the firm because it became more professional????'... that brought about a few laughs and there was no more AMSS bashing after that....
