Wake me up when September Ends

Since nine months ago when I had created this blog, I had always wanted to upgrade it. Perhaps
its the belief that I carry a comprehensive view about the world, or maybe the inspiration from
some of the legal bloggers over there; there are enough reasons to write. But the problem has
been whether a conversation- a remark on righteousness is possible? Or there are mere
nonversations? Here follows a post by me which attempts to ponder over these issues. Its also a
small tribute to one of my senior- Sanandan Chopra who has renounced the world & turned into
a Sannyasi in his quest for the ultimate Truth.
Law School engraves an inherent power of ours -the power of interpretation. Out of all the
powers that humanity is aware of; it is the mightiest of all. Lawyers are payed for their
interpretation of facts & Law. But the real challenge arises when you are not getting paid, there is
no desire & you dont know which way to interpret it. Then the inner Mahabharat arises. The
urge for truth comes out. Or rather suspicion pervades, as to whether there is something like the
ultimate truth. Is the concept of right or wrong really meaningful in making a decision? Or are
these just hollow words for the blind statue of Justitia? And then the only thing you crave for is
Nirvana. This is bound to happen with every innocent lawyer but then the society plays its
part. The rat-race, the competition, marks etc. clings and forms a thick layer in your conscience
which fades your consciousness & just the ashes of the truth remains.
But whenever a lawyer will try to give a bona-fide suggestion, the inner havoc will be created.
The great hollowness is bound to happen. And then another lawyer will sell his Ferari. Rarely
shall a doctor or an engineer sell his Ferari, but a lawyer is supposed to medicate the law and
engineer truth and which is the mightiest & ultimate of all task, and well, again coming back to
the same issue- whether he is puissant enough to do that, or are his ways realistic?
My encounter with Jurisprudence has indeed, maybe been the best incident of my life. Left with
so many aforesaid questions I am on a different journey. A journey of exploration. Least
concerned about the rat-race, I am sub-conscious. I am getting enclosed by a Samadhi. Please
Wake me up when September Ends. P.S. if at all it Ends
At the end what Sanandan Sir loves saying OM Shanti? Let there be peace.:)
