Iphone Charger Broke

My most cherished Iphone is now losing its charisma. Initially I was highly disappointed with the absence of few standard features in any phone. In sometime, I was having problems with the plug of the charger. The Charger's plug got bent. Now, the cord which connects the charger and the phone got cut, and the conductor inside is exposed. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS FROM APPLE. Let me see if they gonna replace it.

B N Krishna's Report on the Feb 19 violence has been submitted to the Supreme Court. The report blames the police and the lawyers equally. The craziest part is that the Apex Court has sent bad the pending cases on the issue to the High Court at Madras, and ironically, the report blames few of the High Court Judges for inaction. In such a case, will the High Court be deciding on its own inaction?

The reason behind ordering the report according to me is two, One- to appease the lawyers who approached the Supreme Court praying justice. Secondly, because the Supreme Court did not actually know what had happened at the Madras High Court premises and so wanted some clear facts. I feel the reason is dead.

Moreover, I am surprised by the way the Apex Court had washed off its hands. I didn't expect this from the Highest Court of the land. It is a case where a High Court in India, a chartered High Court was heavily damaged by riots between the police and advocates. Is there something more instigating for a Court than this?

How is ever possible that the Supreme Court can simply transfer the case to another Court? Then what is the point in the one man Commission? I can see that lawyers have turned into a neglected community, even by the Judiciary.

The copy of the report is available here.
Being good, Once in a while ..



Being good always is boring, and when it becomes the norm for a person, none appreciates that. But being a baddy always and once in a while being good, makes you more popular than the good one itself.

Same is the case with Vijay Mally, the Beer Baron had bought the glory of the Mahathma back to India by bidding and winning in the auction that took place in the New York. I am surprised when I hear the price, it is just Rs. 9 Crores. In Vijay Mallya's terms, the cost is too low for the purchase of good. Perfect business.

Arm of the Judiciary has been cut, it bleeds, but I dont see it shout out of pain.

I am mentaly affected by the happenings at the Madras High Court. One of the three Chartered High Courts in India has been attacked brutally. Judiciary had an unprecedented black day on the 19th of February 2009. I feel my honor of being a lawyer being torn into bits and pieces. There might have been wrongs on the part of the lawyers too, but the action of the executive through the police is atrocious and is worser than the British days.

Have you ever imagined that you will be hit for the simple reason that you are a lawyer? I am not sure if the government is out of its mind to have done something like this. I am wondering if any sane person is going to justify the act of the police. If the government cannot accept its mistake, I am sure the lawyers will make them accept it. What is the difference does this act make from that mob? Are police trained to act as a mob at times of need?

The police claim they have done this to control the unrest of the lawyers. I am deeply hurt by the way the police have been trained, their inefficiency. The executive has shut itself. The action by police if done by a mob in unrest is acceptable. The trained police, action force of the state, who should protect the state, have run into battles with the lawyer? I am finding it tough to believe it this has happened.

The deepest curiosity is the role of the police. I cannot for a moment imagine that the police have turned into a mob, frantically hitting any person with a black coat on him. The police was not even in their mind to see whether they were hitting a Judge or a lawyer. Lawyers pooled around a Justice of the Madras High Court who was severely attacked by the unlawful assembly of the police. The Justice too sustained injuries right on his head and he was taken to same hospital with the lawyer community.

Most of the lawyers who got hit by the police were the ones who could not run from the fast approaching police. Lawyers were chased outside the court premises and were hit on the road. The busy Thambu Chetty street (where most of the lawyers' office is located was also hit.) This arrogant action by the police only exposes the planned action and free hand given to the police to attack the judiciary.

I am surprised the Courts are remaining silent. What is the Human Rights commission doing watching all the videos? Is Indian judiciary so inactive that it cannot even open its eyes after its arm has been cut off? The inactivity and irresponsive behavior brings the lawyers sleepless nights about the future ahead.

India having a better market for surrogacy, despite recession

The surrogacy market in India is now set to boom than ever. One of the main reasons for this is the fall of the world economy. 

Intended Parents from all over the world who have planned to have a child through surrogacy somewhere during this time have been taken by shock with the dooming markets. In such cases, money saved for the surrogacy would be used for other expenses. These intended parents, would look for some other alternative, which is more cost effective. I am sure India would serve their purpose right.

The global markets have crashed and now people are looking for cost effective alternatives for surrogacy in the developed countries. For couple from all over the world, India figures as one of the best choices in terms of reproductive tourism. The worst hit markets, that of the United States, is the most accomodative nation for commercial surrogacy. The procedure for taking the child born through surrogacy from India is apparently simple. The inteded parents from United States travelling to India for surrogacy are surely set to boom.

I am sure that this is going to have a positive effect on the surrogacy market in India.
Bye Bye 2008

2008 was a spicy year for me. I completed my college sometime in June. I enrolled sometime at August. I had so many topsy turns this way and that way. 

I was to leave for my LLM which later got cancelled as I had to take over my dad's firm. I founded two new institutions this year with regard to medical law. I am meeting up a lot of people. And yes, I have started learning law.

Now I am sitting on the edge of 2008 thinking where I started and what I did this year.

It was in 2008 that I got to know about the other side of the Judiciary. I got selected to be the only "law clerk" to serve the Judge of the Madras High Court in my batch. It was a wonderful experience. His Lordship, Mr. Justice D. Murugesan was a wonderful personality and the days I worked with him will always remain unforgettable. I had to leave the job for enrolling at the Bar. 

Professionally, Perception to law got very different once I started practicing. The first case I argued got published at Madras Law Journal. I started learning so much about life and behaviour of man. Law is something which controls people's action. It is that thing which sets the criteria for what is wrong and what is right. I got more practical. No action surprises me. I am happy dad made me to choose this profession.

I did create two new institutions, Indian Surrogacy Law Centre and Health Care Legal Solutions. Both of these institutions are in the doctor's arena and thus I will be meeting a lot of doctor's soon.

With regard to my personal life, I guess I missed a lot this time. 

I guess it was this year was good. I had learnt so much, felt so many things which I have never felt, lost many things which I thought I never would. So many fun filled memories, my college life, my days as a law clerk and much much more.

I am expecting 2009 to be busier than 2008. Amen...
Wednesday Blues

I have started the day looking into the various hardships the hospitals are facing in the legal world. I am to start a blog on this to help the health care professionals gain some knowledge about what the Consumer Fora have got to say about the working of the hospitals. This venture shall be a part of the Medico-Legal wing at my office. 

The doctors have to admit that they are not aware of the guidelines that are being laid down by the Consumer Foras. I am to make it industry sepcific, that is this shall write only for doctors and health care professionals. I am to cover all areas of Medicine. 

More over, Indian Health Care industry is under going a change, a very very positive change. With the growing market for medical tourism, I am sure the health care industry is wanting to protect themselves.
