You mean like Poker!!!!

Worked with us where she was our legal counsel. Experience was disappointing to say the least

Who's Kishen? Elementary, my dear Watson. You do not need his IP address to zero down on him. A little logical deduction will do. Here goes.

First off, it's fairly safe to assume that only a male will use a name like "Kishen."

Next, the name that a person chooses is, consciously or sub-consciously, an extension of the person's identity. "Kishen" is not a creative name like many others on this site, for example "Associate," "Rambo," "Bangalore Lawyer" and the like. Rather, "Kishen" is a straight forward, simple Indian name. Deduction number 2 - Kishen is, quite certainly, an Indian male.

So - why would an Indian male identify with a name like "Kishen"? The most obvious reason is because that's indeed his real name. We all identify with our names, don't we? However, given the vitriolic nature of most of his posts, I doubt a person will use his real name to brazenly criticize others on a public platform. Hence, it’s safe to assume that Kishen is not his real name. It is a pseudonym.

If "Kishen," is a pseudonym, why would a person identify with it? Obviously because the name "Kishen" has some connection with his life. Kishen could be the name of a family member, or a friend. However, given the extremely egotistical nature of most of his comments, I would discount the theory that Kishen is using a family member's name here. It's more likely that the name "Kishen" has something to do with the person himself.

Now, those who have an elementary knowledge of Indian mythology know that Kishen is another name for Krishna, one of the most prominent Indian Gods. Lord Krishna is know by several other names as well. Among the most common are Gopal, Hari, Kishore, Govind, Narayan, Balgopal, Nandan, Mohan, Murali, Jagdish, Madhav, Keshav . . . . (the list can go on).

In all probability, Kishen's real name is a variant of Kishen's alternate names.

Now - just go through his posts. He seems to exhibit a fair degree of knowledge on a wide range of topics. He should rank among the more senior members of the profession. Also, in one of his posts, he recounts his days at law school. Obviously, he is from one of the earlier law schools - NLS, NALSAR, or NUJS. I would rule out NALSAR or NUJS because he often refers to NLS, and to places in Karnataka like Utkal, Mysore and Belgaum. He also refers to L Vishwanathan, Santosh Jankiram, Umakant, and Pramod in his posts. All are from NLS. Vishwanathan, Umakant and Pramod are from the first 3 or 4 batches of NLS. He also talks with disdain about the founders of Trilegal. It’s a fact that most of the founders of Trilegal are from the senior batches of NLS. In all probability, Kishen studied with them.

So, Kishen is someone from the first few batches of NLS, who in all probability goes by the name Krishna or a variant of Krishna. There are quite a few from the first few batches who would fit this description. However, not all had were they types who had a condescending attitude, and overinflated ego, and who loved to prove others wrong. That narrows down the list quite a bit. However, Kishen’s grand claim in one of his posts that Khaitan is a "true Tier 1 firm" is a dead giveaway of his identity.

Guesses anyone?? You don't need an IP address now, do you?

Although I would have made the deduction if I ever set myself to ponder over who Kishen was, however, I would never have the patience to write it out as lucidly as you have my friend. Kudos to you. If you are an associate, the partner may please take note and give him more work (if there is any!).

And I hope my partner is not reading these posts. Anyways, scooter is harder to deduce.

Scooter is the alter ego of Kishen, my friend. And so is "Wake Up." Now YOU get to work. Being condescending will take you nowhere. You're just creating more enemies for yourself.

That's hilarious! Vineetha is way way ahead of Ashwin

Would doubt that? It would then speak very little of AZB's depth and its other partners. Did they lose any client with Vishnu Jerome's or Vaishali Sharma's departure?

mm sound like barkha dutt interviewing flood victims?

kya aap baadh mein doob gaye hai? kya aaple kapde geele hai? kya aap doobne wale hai? kya aapko khana chahiye? aapko kaisa mehsoos ho raha hai?
