Cartier is good for women..? I’m sorry, I think this conversation is as pointless as that statement you made. If you knew anything about anything you’d first see what a Cartier Santos is and how Cartier invented the men’s wristwatch.

Secondly, I can’t reason with clout chasers. omega btw is not Tier 1. AP, Patek, and Arnold and sons are real T1 watches. Get a grip friend.

It means that Jews were driven out and excited by the Romans after the destruction of the second temple but they have kept on returning to the country despite crusades and wars because it is their homeland. If there is such a thing as a Native To Jerusalem - that person is Jewish. “Palestine” itself is a newer word in hour history, as late as 1937 Arabs were claiming that “ Palestine” was an invention of zionists and that land belonged to arab Syria. History exists from before you were born. For thousands of years before you were born. If you want to hold that israel has no claim to lands it won in defensive wars in modern history - how far does that principle stretch ? Does it stretch to Muslim invasions ?

I think it’s pointless to argue this. I don’t think we decide peoples current day rights based on history. But I mentioned it because “ occupation “ and “ settler colonialism “ arguments are nonsense .

The state of Israel is a Jewish homeland because Jews the world over are hunted because of their ethnic religious identity. Where do you propose they go if you are for a “ from the river to the sea “ person ? The state exists - the state has existed for seventy years - it’s crazy to keep litigating this. It does not lead to anyone being better off.

In 2005 israel dismantled settlements in the Gaza Strip and left - that’s 18 years ago now. I know Palestinians live terrible lives - any place where children die by the thousands every year has to be hell on earth- so let me ask again - what has the gazan goverment - Hamas which was elected there - done to improve this ? Hamas’s budget year on year is nearly 500 million by some estimates - is that money going to rockets ? Or food and water and schools and hospitals ?

Is Hamas contributing at all to the betterment of Palestinians ? Or is it simply building its bases underneath their hospitals and constantly provoking conflict? Hamas rejects the two state solution - it wants a one state solution and it wants to kill Jews. Look up the Hamas charter - Ctrl F for “Jews” and then tell me they’re resistance fighters,

There’s plenty in my post that are also left wing talking points . Right wingers don’t usually criticise Netanyahu or think through the geopolitics of that situation or cite Thomas Friedman.

I have friends with parents in Israel right now. One doesn’t need a personal connection however to have a valid opinion. I refuse to use my friends as props in internet arguments.

Everyone from Judith butler to Paul bloom to Black Lives Matter have pointed out the limitations of empathy. Educate yourself. Just because you feel bad and watch videos after videos of atrocities and weep for people all around the world doesn’t make you a moral person. A moral person actually does work to be useful rather than simply virtue signalling.

best system - take down all governments and make a single unified government, one incorruptible person as head of the world, very very strict police system, and no corruption allowed, taxes will continue but the money will mostly be spent on alternative fuels, immortality, disease curing, futuristic tech,

even head of the world can be taken down by public opinion,

Milton Friedman is also a peak free market capitalist. He famously said that companies are only responsible to their shareholders and don't have any responsibilities to society: https://www.nytimes.com/1970/09/13/archives/a-friedman-doctrine-the-social-responsibility-of-business-is-to.html

All I'm saying is that it's hardly surprising that Milei would oppose socialism. It is the very core of his philosophy.

cry and deny all you want but so many law firms do 9 am to 9 pm and even later. been in firm upto 2 am and stuff. when he says it it sounds ridiculous, but see that ppl are actually reqd to and be putting in that much and some firms are so ruthless if you dont kill for it, you get replaced by someone else that does that, been there too, refused to work past 9 due to circumstances and lost on opportunities.

Hello Everyone,

I request you all to please help me by providing suggestions. I really need help and guidance and if you can throw some light into my situation, it would be very very helpful.

I am 2023 batch graduate from not known private college. I’ve done few good internships in M&A/GC teams where I learned basic drafting and DD exercises. I am currently not hired anywhere. I am applying to firms and getting rejections but I really need to make money due to financial struggles as it’s been 3 months since I graduate. I am thinking to approach startups/angel investors for DD or policy drafting kind of work through LinkedIn until I get a job.

Please give me your guidance and let me know if my approach is correct or if you can give any other suggestions. I would be forever grateful to you all.

Thank you very much.

We been been bugging the Registrar's office for ages, but it's like talking to a brick wall. They keep saying they'll sort things out, but it's all just talk. Here's the deal.

FIXES PROMISED, PROBLEMS PERSIST

1. The water we're supposed to drink is a hot mess — muddy, sometimes with this white gunk, and occasionally stinking. The RO system been busted since uni opened after COVID.

2. Power cuts are a regular thing. Just yesterday, we had hours without any juice.

3. orkers ain't getting the fair deal.

4. Women's hostel has been bone-dry for two days straight. No water for washing, using the bathroom, or even basic hygiene. And when there is water, the pipes act up, especially nasty at 8 am before classes.

4. Washing machines conked out, so we're handwashing clothed during projects and midterms.

5. Drains all clogged, open bins everywhere.

6. Too many pests indoors – rats, bats, mosquitoes, you name it.

7. Bathrooms and toilets barely ever getting a real clean-up. Those yellow tiles they're all nasty with black mold, making it seriously gross.

8. Wifi been cut off. Speed less than 1mbps. And there's no excuse for that. We've been paying for this service, and it's totally not right to leave us hanging without.

9. Stupid admin won't open the balcony or terrace at night, haven't given us a reason why. Nights are the only time we can actually breathe, but these hostels aren't exactly well-aired or smelling like roses. We feel all boxed in and just plain suffocating at night.

10. Basically, the whole plumbing and electrical setup—shower, faucets, sinks, fans, bulbs—everything's busted and they've left it that way for way too long without fixing a thing.

11. As for action, the admin straight-up public shamed the plumber and electrician with a public show cause notice, something they'd never pull on any other "higher" staff here. But truth is, these folks need some oversight and the right supplies to get the job done. Public shaming workers. Imagine.

12. Man, they won't let students switch rooms during the year now. Back in the old days, we just had to hang tight until the first of the next month and could make a change. Dealing with bad roommates be causing emotional hell for so many of us. Look like them will only learn when some thing unexpected between hostile peeps happens. Stupidest rule on here.

13. There ain't no real good doc or proper meds for emergencies. They just hand out Dolo 650. Getting sick at night is a nightmare. Too many been falling sick lately.

It's living hell here.

And for those who ain't catching on, I'm not saying the old administration was any better, okay?

Vindicated. Thank you @sardesairajdeep

for making it crystal-clear why my kidnapped dog Henry was being offered to me in exchange for taking back my CBI Complaint. This is what happens when ‘quid pro quo’ becomes a way of life.

Exactly. Look at the disproportionate downvotes on the most reasonable comments. Biswajit is a great lawyer - fact. But NLIU students will be mostly unemployed and are overdosing on copium because they have no internships / prospects available - also fact.

Every sane person knows that all of these awards are bought and paid for. When CAM wins Innovative Firm of the year, we laugh, knowing the only innovative thing they have done is find new ways to increase official working days and pressurise employees. When Trilegal wins Best in Corporate/ Commercial law, we laugh, knowing they have the worst researched and presented legal opinions and shoddy deliverables that will probably worsen the probability of closing the deal for their client.

Law firm awards are as real as a decent WLB in a law firm. And as real as the chance of an NLIU batch getting more than 40% placement. I laugh thinking they even considered themselves to be competition to NLUJ, around 6-7 years back but now they keep getting washed out.

"He (Dehadrai) says I have taken diamond and emerald jewellery. Does Darshan mention it? Does he have a photograph of the jewellery? He says that I have got dozens of French and Italian wines? Does he have the names of these wines? Is there any proof? He says I have 35 pairs of Ferragamo shoes. I have owned Ferragamo shoes from my banker days, before these people could spell Ferragamo. Please do not reduce my agency as a woman."

So tough to get this information with any degree of confidence. On this thread alone, we have numbers suggesting KCo Bangalore Partners get paid more than KCo Mumbai partners, which feels off. There was another thread recently on which someone claimed to be an EP in a T1 who earns close to 10 crores per annum regularly and more in some years. Possibly true but also possibly a basement dwelling mouth-breather baiting others. Also, if true, don’t know how long said person has been an EP.

Best of luck finding this info reliably. I’ve given up.

Here's something I didn't know:

" In 2013, she went to the French business school INSEAD in Fontainebleau. That’s not all, Paridhi Adani also attended the traditional finishing school Institut Villa Pierrefeu in Montreux, Switzerland."

Interesting that she attended INSEAD and not an LLM course. It shows that the Shroffs value a B-school education more and perhaps more law grads should think about it? The finishing school information is also interesting. People on LI constantly discuss the right watch to wear, right wine to drink etc. Even super-rich people like the Shroffs want their children to know these things and take them seriously. According to the website of the fishing school, they offer a course on International Etiquette (though for ladies only). https://ivpworld.com/

The topics are:

Etiquette
---------

Around the table - European etiquette
-------------------------------------

Floral Art and Table Decoration
-------------------------------

International Drinks Culture
----------------------------

Entertaining
------------

Business Etiquette
-------------------

Official and Diplomatic Protocol
---------------------------------

International Savoir-Vivre
---------------------------

Thus, this vindicates two common topics of discussion on LI. Maybe it's time lawyers (both male and female) in India attend such courses? I can see a lot of people paying big bucks for such a course.

I saw Mahua's interview with Rajdeep yesterday. She says Adani sent two MPs to her to buy her silence. Sound like BS to me. Why is she raising it only now? Also, she overestimates her importance. She is not a mass leader and only has a following on social media. Makes no sense for Adani to buy her.

I want to join a litigation firm in Delhi where I would be able to learn everything there is about litigation. Suggestions for such firms would be appreciated. I want to practice in district courts, high court and the supreme court.

I am a bit clueless about the top ranking firms and some help would be appreciated.

What does 'original inhabitant' of the land even mean? Most of the Jewish families currently living in Israel have been settlers from other countries. Israel has torpedoed the two state solution plenty of times. The West will keep supporting it because Jews have got massive business interests in the US. I have visited the West Bank, instead of getting second hand info about it. The conditions there are terrible.

You keep thinking empathy comes from Instagram and treat it as shallow. That's your take on humanity, it does not make it right or accurate. Most of the opinions that you espoused also comes from narrative built by media, so it is not as if you have displayed any critical insight in particular. The original post seems to have criticised loss of lives, unlike you who are treating that callously. Feeling empathy does not do go good to anyone is the kind of amoral and selfish perspective that makes an educated person the most dangerous of human beings. All you seem to be doing is spouting the pro-Israeli Right propaganda, for which there are other threads.

What SEBI investigation? Everyone in this country knows that central agencies and regulators only look the way that the party in power in the Central Government wants them to.

It did affect me and many people around me. As well as the economy. You being locked up in air conditioned ivory towers are not all the world is about. One wonders how after all that jumla about black money, chip based currency notes and the massive face loss that data backs up now, you still continue supporting such stupid moves simply because the party that you support came up with it.

Lockdown was a significantly badly implemented and executed maneuver that has broken the back of small industries and millions of wage workers, especially in the rural area. Their lives may not mean anything to you, but they contribute more to the economy than you do. Which is why the rising inequality, unemployment, demand imbalance that the economy is witnessing now.

It's funny how you Bhakts rake up history every time people question you on the present. That poppat as you mentioned was not the one in charge during any of those incidents. And though I don't support his politics either, I would take the poppat as PM over your Feku and Jumlabaz any day.

Economic development is not only about GDP. This is what happens when you get your info from Whatsapp university. When people had to pay extra electricity tariff because Adani fraudulently hiked up coal price, that meant that they had less money to spend on consumables, which is why the demand took a massive hit. Maybe read more and try to understand that how the 1% lives is not an accurate description of the national economy.

Supportive to youngsters does not mean that if you wish to do something foolhardy, people will still have to applaud you. At the end of the day, it's your money, so stop seeking validation from others on an anon forum about what to do with it. I will only give you one advice, consult a SEBI approved fee-only financial planner if you have got healthy cash inflow in your life. What you do with the money is still up to you.

Let us assume that out of India's total population, currently 50 crores belong to the young generation that is being referred to here. Based on that, let's do a basic arithmetic problem, even easier than CLAT.

At present, 50 crores of people working 48 hours a week has led to maybe 10 people becoming wealthy and rich.

So, if those 50 crores of people start working 70 hours a week, how many people will it lead to becoming wealthy and rich?

Answer: The same 10!

This is what denial looks like. Scroll up and see the comment that started the flexing. If NLUD can't talk about themselves without bringing NUJS up, then nobody at NUJS will care about any of its threads. You bring up placement stats knowing well that it is your weak point, but then will start crying a river everytime people will call you out on that.

Some of you may have seen this news: https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/indian-navy-officers-death-penalty-in-qatar-mea-court-of-first-instance-2454110-2023-10-26

Our media as usual is going to town about it. The humanitarian aspect aside (I don't support death penalty), should Indian Govt intervene in this case? I think 2 reasons they should not:

1. The 8 retd naval officers were working in Qatar in their private capacities after retirement. They were not (as far as we can tell) RAW operatives or Indian Govt undercover spies. So they voluntarily took the risk.

2. If a group of Qataris were caught in India spying for Pakistan while claiming to run a business, would Indian Govt not prosecute them in the same way?

His Wiki page cites a number of sources to describe him as "far-right, ultraconservative, and right-wing libertarian"

Just go for it, your money and you can spend it the way you want. If an Omega gives you happiness then get one. The technical inputs (which I think is what you were actually looking for) have already come in the first few comments. Everything else is just wannabes hating and moralising.

Also congratulations!

Absolutely. Agree with you. Pointless ranting against an eminent industrialist and nation-builder by today's woke kids. Here's how we should see it:

168 hours in a week

minus 70 hours a week of work (10 hours a day)

minus 56 hours of sleep a week (8 hours a day)

minus 21 hours for eating and bathing a week (allocating a generous 3 hours a day for this)

= 21 hours a week of TOTALLY FREE TIME

How much more free time do people need?

Now Sajjan Jindal and the CEO of Ola Cabs have supported Murthy. Maybe Gen Z should listen to the industry viewpoint instead of moaning? Honestly, 70 hours a week is quite fine. Work from 8 am to 8 pm every weekday (12 x 5 = 60 hours) + 8 am to 6 pm (on Saturdays 10 hours) plus Sundays fully off. You can. party on Saturday night and chill the whole Sunday: watch a movie or show for 3 hours, play a sport for 2 hours, play PS games for 3 hours, and hang out with friends/family for 5 hours. It just needs good time management.

Re health and stress, your body can easily take this in your 20s. After that you can slow down. Note that Murthy is referring to YOUNGSTERS.

None of these brands are in the Tier 1 of watches. You're right when you say its okay to prefer other brands. But the same should apply for HMT, Titan etc. But when you move up your brand list, you can't be stuck at Tags and such. Tudor is more like a discount Rolex, what's the point of spending that much but not getting the value. Plus, brand recognition for Tudor is nothing compared to the others in that price bracket, let alone at the Rolex price bracket. Cartier is good for women, so not relevant for me.

In terms of recruitment and expansion of practice areas? Does it mean:

a) Jobless growth?

b) Indian law firms lack the vision of international law firms?

c) Only reforms of the Indian legal system (speedier trials etc) will lead to job creation in law firms?

Wow just the hate I'm getting on this thread, and you guys like to portray yourselves as nice and supportive to youngsters. A few things to clarify, though I don't really owe any explanations to anyone.

When I say my parents are middle class, I don't mean some clerical government jobs - they are doctors in a non-metro town. They are financially comfortable, have their own house, and don't need me to send money home. But they are not rich that they can give me living expenses or take foreign holidays on a whim. I joined an NLU after working super hard so I don't have to live that scrimping and saving life.

Yes, it took me a year and a half to save up for my dream watch. That's because I don't live a difficult life just to save. I have peers who take public transport (or even shared cabs). I can't be coming to work at a T1 firm in some rickety Ola. I commute with a sedan cab by myself, so yes my expenses on that front are slightly higher. My cook only makes breakfast because I prefer to order lunch in, and dinner might be an outing or ordering in at least twice a week. Plus I like to splurge on holidays. I shifted to a nicer apartment complex because I wanted to stay in a happening place with similar ambitious neighbours.

I have peers who have more savings, but they don't live life to the full extent. I have nothing to apologise for. A lot of people trying to discourage seem to be highly well off, which is hypocrisy.

I work very hard, so I like to play hard. If that means an Omega that will elevate my life and status, then why not.

Seems to be contested and perhaps over exaggerated numbers. But wake up and smell the rose sir/ maa’m, every firm routinely asks non performers to leave. Nothing newsworthy or gossip worthy here. If it impacts you, stop wasting time on legally india and get back to working 70 hours a week.
