Human rights and dating-say what?!

I recollect a guest lecture I had delivered, not too long ago, to students of a leading management college on sexual harassment laws. As I explained some of the illustrations of what has been held as sexual harassment, one male student objected on the ground that almost anything he could say to a woman would [...]

Eid Mubarak

The diversity of food in India is the best point in favour of national integrity. I often wonder how much we would have lost, especially the food, had we not had so many foreign cultures find acceptance in this nation. Jokes apart, festive spirits are high with the arrival of Eid and a simple tour [...]

Fire

“If this is a victory, what’s a defeat then? Is this a victory or a defeat? Is this justice or injustice? Is it gallantry or a rout? Is it valor to kill innocent children and women? Do I do it to widen the empire and for prosperity or to destroy the other’s kingdom and splendor? [...]

Simple Extravagance

As a child, I was as normal as I could be. I recollect at one time in fourth grade when a computer game by the name of “Monster Truck Madness” came out and it cost Rs. 350/-, a relatively small amount by today’s standard; yet a significant amount back in the day. When I placed [...]

It doesn’t matter

A Painting by Toulouse-Lautrec A lady may dress like that.. or     Or dress like that….   It doesn’t matter for in both choices of attire or the lack of it, I see the better half of humanity; the miracle that makes human kind and its survival possible. No one can deny that without [...]

The caste factor

The political climate in the state of Karnataka has been highly volatile lately. The likes of Yeddyurappa and Janardhan Reddy have done to the state what the Greeks did to Troy back in the day. Yet is corruption the biggest concern for the state today?   I regret to say that the issue is not [...]

An Ode to Man’s Best Friend

I was in 9th grade. My friend Siddharth had just joined my school after having moved from the middle east to Bangalore. I offered to share my lunch with him and when his house was close to my grandmother’s, I decided to stop by and get to know him and his family better. That is [...]

Inviting hatred

It is that part of the year when the 12th grade or the 2nd PUC (pre-university course) results are out. I woke up to reading the newspaper, as usual, only page 2 and page 3 displaying rather contradicting news. Page 2 spoke about the toppers in the exam and by god, it was such a [...]

Limitless power of Limitations

One of the greatest values we believe in our team is to have a fair, objective and conscious understanding of our limitations and to candidly interact with whoever necessary and do whatever required to overcome our limitations. I regret to see that often people look at their limitations as an enemy, constantly whining and regretting [...]

Lighting Core Values

I often asked myself until recently, as to how I would summarise the thought process that led to CorLit. Why did I decide to embark on the journey to build a full service firm starting with a full practice law firm and how did I convince folks above and beyond my age and experience to [...]
