Amidst the Centre on May 17 extended the expected nationwide lockdown which was first imposed on March 24, for the fourth time till May 31 while giving considerable flexibility to the States on COVID-19 intensity, I arose from my bed at the crack of dawn, before the sunlight hit my terrace.
Assigning myself and putting an end for the sleepless nights toiling between the pillows with the unstoppable thoughts, ideas, notions, beliefs, concepts, convictions, assumptions, presumptions, abstractions, theories, hypothesises, present and future stuffs which was wrestling in "MY CEREBRUM" for months.

Winning a peaceful sleep and waking up from the bed with "NEURONS" ready for whole day is one the biggest achievements in this lockdown I could say. By finishing "The Hindu Newspaper's Editorial page" before my breakfast and rushing to room, opening the labour law lecture notes in one hand and googling on the other hand searching datas available for the recent amendments regarding labour legislations which has brought an impact on thousands and thousands of workers to migrate.
After a hours spent turning three pages of my notes and reading the tiring articles one by one which was interrupted over a phone call from an unknown number. And soon I recognised the voice of my senior advocate who got back in his rolling chairs informing me about the works left over to be revived by this time.

My eyes were wide open and was very curious to address him with lots of unanswered queries and informations running in the head for recent days regarding the administration and governance, the new executions in laws, laying my career in law and et cetera. Though not wanted to disrupt my googling, early in the evening I visited him.
At once I entered the chambers, his refreshed charm and tenor of the voice made my mouth shut. By wishing him, as soon I was seated, he delivered me a 30-minute speech which exhibited the impact that this COVID-19 lockdown has brought him. Even though I managed to furnish the listed out things one by one, which I prepared to inquire about and where he went patient listening and replying back politely with his experiences way back. Thus, it gave me more space to interact over time in a productive manner.

And at the end, he delivered a wonderful speech about A Lawyer and The Society which made my day awakening. I wanted that matter to be conveyed to you all in a very descriptive & presentable manner which needed some sort of time in my decks.
Each and everyday, every hours and minutes seems engaging and reconstructs the building blocks in us. It may be an incident or a trespasser's story or a material or someone to whom you're inspired or the members of your family or within yourself. The Reflective Moral today I would like to share with you is "Spending Quality Time" results in some way important, special, productive or profitable to one or everyone involved.
Vanakkam!
