If you have to cook for you alone, and not an entire family. For your long term health sake, cook everyday and eat fresh food. You must take at least 30-45mins (depending on what meal youre cooking) to cook your food. There are a plethora of youtube channels that will tell you all about it.

If all fails, get a tiffin service - homemade, not random or hire a cook if possible.

I see so many junior associates get into a lifestyle trap by going out to these places on a regular basis. Someone making 20LPA in Mumbai, paying rent, commuting daily by cab, should NOT be going out to these places 4-5 times a month (they can set you back 4-5k per outing). Add on to that, the iPhones, AirPods, Apple Watches, these kids are actually saving so little. Quite sad.

He has 1.1 Billion USD to his name. He also said that he's nuts about Lululemon in the same interview. His billionaire ego doesn't like waiting for a handbag, that's cool for him.

If my whole life's aim is to buy from Hermes and Rolex, then I'll do that. I don't need to listen to what a billionaire thinks/likes doing to define my own tastes.

To the contrary, Delhi office has amazing partners who take out time to interact with the interns. They even encourage associates to give good amount of work to the interns. The background of every transaction is explained before handing down any work to the intern. Even the managing partner takes out time to meet the intern once during their internship. My friends have had similar experience to share. If you are sincere in your work, the team would definitely recommend you for a ppo/call-back. All the best!

IIT KGP, NFSU, or IIMC. Look for places that give importance to research, and are national institutions so that you don't face any issues later in an academic career (should you wish to pursue). National institutions (almost always) do not step down when hiring Assistant Professors, but stepping up is never an issue.

In a recent turn of events, a (recently) retired judge has been quite vocal about his less-than-flattering assessments of the current state of affairs. It raises a pertinent question: is it fitting for someone who received a farewell akin to a messiah's to engage in such overt oppositional rhetoric? Particularly when one considers his past close ties with the Gandhis during his tenure as a lawyer?

Shouldn't retired judges, known for their expertise in the law, consider limiting their public expressions of opinions to preserve the perception of impartiality and uphold the integrity of the legal system?

While I'm uncertain if it's the greatest anime of all time, 'Akira' certainly stands out for me. From its compelling storyline, distinctive animation style, and memorable music to its richly developed characters, every aspect of this piece of art/complete cinema captivates me. 'Akira' may resonate differently with each viewer. Some might interpret it as a coming-of-age tale, while others could see it as the rise of a hero against an overwhelming adversary. Personally, I perceive 'Akira' as a representation of the circle of life, symbolized by the post-apocalyptic city of Tokyo (Neo-Tokyo). It mirrors the birth of the universe and takes viewers on a spiritual journey through the medium of anime. Ultimately, it underscores the cyclical nature of existence: rigged to collapse under its own magnitude, only to be born again.

There is a massive genocide of Muslims happening in Xinjiang, carried out by the Chinese government. NOT ONE WORD from leftists and Muslim activists about that. On the contrary, Imran Khan denied that China is killing Muslims when the BBC asked him about, while Sitaram Yechury did the same when Scoopwhoop interviewed him. And as the NYT report showed, Neville Roy Singham is is funding a campaign of Uyghur genocide denial.

So please spare me the crocodile tears about Palestine.

While I do understand that A0s are fired and are not safe, it's totally different in a different way. While I empathise with the situation and dont want to appear pedantic, an intern has 99% chances of not converting, while a A0 or A1, A2 getting fired is not as common or in greater percentage.

Excellent and balanced comment. Right wing orthodoxy is bad, but so is wokeism. Some of these students posted "Queers for Palestine" and in reply people rightly posted "Chickens for KFC"!

Also, why only Kashmir, Palestine and Khalistan? Why not Tibet, Baluchistan and Kurdistan? Evidently lobbies are funding this and people are being useful idiots for them.

I request Gen Z kids to read history properly before tweeting. Hamas and the PLO are different. Hamas hates the PLO and Arafat. PLO wants two states, but Hamas wanted Israel eradicated and hates Jews. They have the same ideology as the Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS, Book Haram etc. Their full name is Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya. People can support Palestine but you must condemn Hamas.

Even the left-wing Guardian newspaper says about Hamas: "it is also a sinister organisation committed to the mass murder of Israelis."

The problem is, it's not that 10% educated, who have found someone way better off then them, don't ask for and get sizable maintenance. Also, so many girls never bother to work since ultimately they'll get married so what's the use of marriage. We have a default mentality that a guy has to ensure maintenance of wife for entire life, despite all the feminists who ask for equal sharing of household chores and responsibilities! Ask them to also equally manage house economy and also not to ask for any alimony and update.

Just, how. And why. And how. How do these matters get filed? Get listed? Get financed (court fees, AoR fees etc)?

Sometimes the content on prominent news platforms is visibly AI written and quite pointless in a way. Unclear, vague words used throughout. The usual intro, body, concl being followed for every paragraph in the story. The headline may be the only relevant line of the story and the rest is prompt generated. More prominent in daily political stories. Reflect poorly on the editors, the visble trend of AI writing is very easy to spot.

1. Should there be a general requirement on websites publishing content to declare if AI was used at any stage in generating the content for a particular story?

2. And is it legally correct for a platform or person to be taking the entire credit for AI generated content

3. Given the present trends, will news websites become irrelevant, as in the age of AI, 50-100 words pf crisp content on twitter will be better?

That entierly depends upon your priorities in life.

If you can make ends meet with 60K a month, live a nominal lifestyle without any extravagent vacations, luxurious watches or a fancy car, minimal savings and investments, accept that offer.

However, if you feel you can hustle 3-4 years, build a corpus of about 50 - 60 lacs at a Tier 1 (assuming it pays you atleast 16L per annum with a 15% increment and Bonus) and sacrifice work life balance only for a few years, pick a Tier 1. The Money is HUGE, lets admit. You can aim to buy a 3BHK in a Metro City in coming years, Take your family for an international Holiday, upgrade your standard of living, buy branded clothes only, sit with people who are millionaires and billionaires. The work is exceptional, you are put on matters that make frontpage headlines. Your kids can go to international schools, have a chauffer pick them up and drop.

After the initial hustle, you can come back to a mid size who would then pay you atleast 1l per month (basis yout Tier -1 experience and clientile) by then your investment would also start giving you returns, you can get to spend more time with your family and expect a better work life balance

New England has a Mediterranean climate? since when? It has hot summers and cold winters. Its not California. You keep moving those goalposts along. I bet you any money there are unspoken dress codes at Stanford as much as Harvard. This is just a professionalism thing, not a weather thing. If you're running so hot that wearing pants causes you such distress- you should see a doctor. or a psychiatrist.

I mean. Equivalency is not the same thing as the degree being literally an LLM. If someone hasnt googled enough to know the proper nomenclature- how does one begin to help that person? Do they know what the BCL is ? what course work is required? Have they thought even about what they want to study or are they just focussed on "mujhe oxford jaana hain"? why should anyone care more about your career than you do?

So much for "Freedom of expression" and "Democracy" that the UK so actively propagates. Freedom of expression means you have the right to say what you want. Abusing a Muslim woman and calling her names based on her burqa will be acceptable to the UK and that should be taken as a joke, however, let a Muslim man or a black man call a random girl "Sexy" without even touching her, that would not be "Freedom of expression". This is the hypocrisy which countries like the UK so actively preach and practice.

Bhai, it is not exactly different. It is a mere illusion that an A0 or an A1 is "employed safely", we live under the constant threat of being fired at all times. It is very easy for an SA or PA to give a negative feedback for whatsoever reason (even including not sucking up to them, which will easily be presented as poor performance on the part of the A0 or the A1). Most law firms (At least the so called Tier 1's and many Tier 2's) do not hesitate to fire at the drop of a hat. While I understand and empathise with your situation as an intern, trust me, it is going to get much worse as an associate, and even worse as you go up the ranks. Constant betrayal and back-stabbing at every nook and corner.

I would say target a Tier 3 or Tier 4 firm. Read up extensively about such firms, do your research, and apply accordingly. Give it your 100% in performance (I am sure you are). Things will work out somewhere. I wish you all the best for your internship at Indus. Do not lose hope.

Try making batches of 2 different vegetables (sabzi) is that is what you eat. You can make a big batch of one pot meals such as rice, pastas, etc. Chop different vegetables in a big batch which you can then use for quick salads and stir fry. Make hummus/pesto, can act as a dressing or might help in quick meals.

Just how Modi/Adani slander equates with supporting Hamas is baffling. Immaterial to the conversation. A comparison for comparison's sake.

What is troubling is that students are making sweeping generalisations with respect to the Israel-Gaza conflict and taking sides without being fully informed. The loss of civilian lives on both sides is to be condemned, but it is to be borne in mind that Israel retaliated and did not instigate Hamas to attack them.

Keep shifting goal posts without responding to the original question. As for what has 'ruined' Bengal, rich opinion coming from someone highlighting the presence of only one academic from a central institution in a list that regularly features multiple people from an under funded state university.

RW govts are going way overboard for Israel. To deport someone showing solidarity online is overzealous. It obviously isn't a black and white picture here.

That being said, you will see a lot of mandbuddhi Indian students campaigning for Hamas (few were also named in the Harvard University list) when Palestinians would genocide these kaffirs any chance they get. It's hilarious seeing the extra ordinary efforts several Indian students go when it comes to campaigning for Kashmir and Palestine ignoring the fact that people from those underdeveloped regions would consider them second class humans at best.

Dude, you have got no idea about the situation in Bengal. Keep your opinions limited to your NFSU. Who told you that the institutions in North Bengal don't receive funding from the State Government? Where do you even get such info from? North Bengal University happens to be one of the best funded universities in the state. The problems in Bengal currently owe a lot to the Central Government choosing to punish the people and institutions of the state because of their political apparent enmity with the ruling party here, that's all.

The UK government and media are really going after pro-Hamas students in elite British universities. Let's hope that no Indian student gets into trouble. On social media, we have seen many of our friends posting in favour of Palestine, including some who are doing their LLMs abroad. Such posts are absolutely fine, but our generation gets very emotional on social media. Sometimes the language used in posts can upset people. So I think we should be careful about what we post. It's best to make a distinction between violent groups like Hamas and the legal question of Palestine statehood.

This list is a joke. Note that there are no members from IISc, IIMB, NIFT, NID, IIT, or NIMHANS - all central institutions present in Karnataka. First of all, with this so-called state education policy, the state is rejecting the NEP; second, as already discussed - this is one of the reasons why NLS will never be made into a "national" institute. All the national institutes in the state have deliberately distanced themselves from this, a strategic decision. The state will not let NLS go, and the center will not touch it even with a bargepole.

Happy....

There are others as well, but I hope you get the point.

CAM just wants the toppers who can put their head down and work, they dont exactly look for the polished people with a structured CV towards a practice area. If you are among the top 5-10 ranks of any of the top 10 NLUs or JGLS/SLSP/GLC/ILS - you are worthy of making the cut according their flawed standards of PPO evaluation/internship intake.

By far, it has the worst work cultures though and pay is poor when you compare it with other T1s or even firms like S&R, TT&A and IndusLaw. Tread with care and caution, best of luck!

They had him on their website when he was working there you fool. It’s custom to remove folks who leave because you don’t want to misrepresent to students. An old version of Sudhir’s cab is still on the Watson institutes website. Here is a link at the Columbia university website that explicitly states that a b r Ambedkar chair professor is established https://www.law.columbia.edu/news/archive/india-endows-chair-devoted-indian-constitutional-law-jagdish-bhagwati-fellowship

You are either an idiot or a straight up liar and no one should take you seriously. Get a life.

I didn’t say unfairly. I said unfailingly. And exceptions don’t make the rule. I was that exception. I had a rank in the bottom 20% of class - but I got the job I wanted and I got into grad school later it all worked out fine. I’ll tell you - it would have been tonnes easier if I had just studied. I would’ve gotten so much more money and job hunting would’ve been so much more easier

There are people with physics and management on there. You’re assuming that science professors wouldn’t be on the political left or liberal - that’s a mistake. And assuming humanities/social sciences professors are unable to do their job because of their political beliefs is also a mistake. When the bjp strives for political balance in its appointments - then we can talk about really quite moderate panels like this one.

You don’t believe in consent anymore ? Why should grown adults have to look at you - a child - in states of undress because you refuse to put clothes on ? You’re the one obsessed with clothing here. Everyone else just wants you to show a modicum of professionalism. Work out your daddy issues already. This is embarrassing.

You’ve never left your corner of the world and you want me to list off professors. Why ? Why are you so sure you’re right ? You do realise Harvard has a number of private clubs with a way stricter dress code than that even ? There are places to eat where you have to wear a dinner jacket and places to watch entertainment where you’re expected to wear formal wear? Not even professional spaces these are explicitly spaces for leisure. Can’t go on the golf course in a suit and can’t go to the opera in shorts. Go to a yacht party without appropriate clothing and have the wait staff sneer at you. Private dining rooms that require formal wear are all too common.

It was Tribe actually. I wasn’t offended - a dress code is a dress code. We just came from different cultures. Grow up kid.

Dude. Remove your head from where it is and please see the world. You pretend as if this is common but forget that this is mandate of parochial nonsense uncommon to most law schools. Dress codes for events make sense, but for everyday just seems bizarre and weird. And "professionalism" is not this high-handed catch-all justification that you think it is. Because a legitimate argument is that the kind of professionalism expected in a law school is categorically and essentially different, for good reason, from a law firm. what is with this anxiety with students showing skin? Sounds really creepy for a justification.

Just so it's clear, there is no dress codes at most reputed law schools for day to day activities.

Harvard ( for instance) https://www.rileyv.com/legallyblondeaf-blog/law-school-casual-attire

I am from NUSRL and here the situation is pathetic. The batch of 2027 usually witnesses this problem to a great extent. Certain people get excessive marks because of favouritism and their background. One of my close frnds is at CNLU Patna. This happens there as well. ‘Class interaction’ is what dictates Nusrl’s scorecard in academia. The senior batches are still well authenticated. But nowadays the professors have become intolerable especially for the last 3 batches.

Please, for the love of god, don't join Jindal.

Scores of posts on this page show why you shouldn't. I will summarise:

Admin at the top is rotten. As a senior batch, I can confirm the office of registrar and student affairs (under Murthy and Surinder Kaur) used to run the univ efficiently. Now registrar doesnt respond to emails and student affairs doesnt do anything/says nothing is wrong or blames students for anything which goes wrong. Modus operandi is to sit on complaint till student is tired of sending reminders. Raj too busy in US trips. So college will be on fire!

If you are not from Hyderabad, why would you consider going there? It is not a big market. Indus has been in Hyd for almost a decade now but it is even now a back office.

Your learning potential and growth in the firm will be limited no matter how good or bad one lone partner is.

Firms like Tempus or Tatva are better. Even Samvad for that matter. At least those are not back offices.

Can't stand men saying "randomly giving high marks to girls", as if the entire University belongs to men and only men deserve high marks. You could have at least phrased it better ki "girls who did not work hard on their projects" or something but your Y chromosome came in the way
