Except it's Legally India for me
2. I am working with a Tier 1 law firm and i have photography as a hobby. WFH provided me with time to purse it, but I avoided venturing out specifically for this. During a recent visit to my home for a considerable period of time, i took out my childhood miniature cars (scale models of actual cars) and fell in love with them again. Decided to re-start it - since then haven't stopped. Bought 100 more if different scale and have started doing photography with it as well. Joined various online forums to learn more and to meet others - surprised to find a large number of fellow collectors from various backgrounds - CAs, doctors, bankers, advertisement professionals and one or two lawyers. Hoping, i would be able to continue
3. Majority are. Very few have a life outside their work.
Hobby 2: Being a corporate lawyer, I give shit advice to my relatives on property matters.
Are they naive enough not to compare drafts?
My will to live is anyways gone.
3. Absolutely! But only law firm lawyers.
I have an interest in foreign languages so have been learning one on a language-learning app for the last year or so. Learned some piano in school - this became less regular but I have recently gotten back to it. Eating is fun (lol) so I discovered cooking is too - I try to make one new dish every couple weeks and researching ingredients etc gives me something to look forward to.
Taking out a bit of time to do something fun makes the time you do spend working more efficient.
And then, watching sports. My life revolves around watching live games (mostly cricket and football).
I guess as long as you have something happy to look forward to, you'll be good. Because you'll have that feeling of "freedom" for a few hours where you're pursuing what you like.
Then it doesn't matter that you've been using your laptop for some 10-12hrs. Those 2-3hrs of "me time" before sleeping is all that matters.
