3. Assume the best intention of others.

Though they cracked CLAT and went to NUJS and then went to Ivy-leagues for LLM, still getting empanelled so early, was something that I still can't digest!
Anyone know of any other cases like Paridhi Shroff?

Also pleasant vacay, Broadway/London anecdotes for when they open shop and have tales of their greatness to tell to unsuspecting juniors whose parents retired from SBI/Govt with the following intro " You know when I was in New York..."
The way he said it was very condescending and humiliating. I am not super rich like him, but my parents are respectable professionals and have a decent amount in the bank. Do they think everyone else is a beggar? Can't our parents have the same dreams they have for their children?
But contrast with corporate India, where many encourage their employees to go for MBAs/training courses and even sponsor it.
Hope this clarifies.
P.S. I am also such labour class but I've always dreamt of a foreign LL.M.
A foreign LL.M. gives street cred/social credits, and has little to do with competence or career advancement. It is beneficial once you are already within a social circle, not as a ticket into the social circle.
Tere dad ke pass hai law firm? Nahi naa.
Yet, these same senior lawyers discourage others who want to do an LLM. They say "it has no relevance for legal practice in India", "better to join a law firm right away after graduation", "LLM is a waste", etc.
So here is my question: why these double standards?🧐
