Handbook of Women Empowerment Atlas of India Science & Technology Perspective (Parihar, S.M. & Bannerjee, T.)

I am incredibly honored and thrilled to announce my feature in the "Women Agency and Decision Making, Handbook of Women Empowerment Atlas of India Science & Technology Perspective (Parihar, S.M. & Bannerjee, T.).” Being part of this transformative initiative is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared dedication to #womenempowerment.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Prof Seema Mehra Parihar for extending this phenomenal opportunity. Her vision and #leadership have played a pivotal role in bringing forth a comprehensive atlas that not only recognizes individual contributions but also highlights the collective strength of women across India.

The launch of the 8th edition of this Atlas last year graced by the esteemed presence of Hon’ble Minister Dr. Jitender Singh, marks a momentous occasion for all involved. It's a celebration of the relentless efforts put into compiling valuable insights, stories, and data that contribute to the understanding and #advancement of women's agency and decision-making.

I extend my warmest congratulations to Prof Seema Mehra Parihar for the successful culmination of this project. Her unwavering commitment to fostering women's empowerment shines through, and I am proud to be a part of this endeavor.

As we embark on this empowering journey, I look forward to the positive impact this Atlas will have on shaping policies, inspiring change, and promoting gender equality.

Wishing Dr. Parihar and the entire team continued success as they pave the way for a more inclusive and empowered future for women in India.

May this Atlas serve as a source of #inspiration and a valuable resource for generations to come.

It was really my good fortune to meet and interact with Dr. Pramod Verma, the Ex-Chief Architect of #aadhar the digital identity program of India that has covered more than 1.3 Billion people.

The pearls of wisdom that Dr. Varma gave regarding the journey of India’s path to Digitisation made me feel so proud of my #newindia.

One post will not be sufficient to describe the achievements in this path of Digitisation. The e-kyc reducing the cost of KYC from Rs1000 to Rs 3, the massive amount of beneficiaries of so many governmental schemes (that reach the ones in need) have been possible only because of this process - and not just now but even in the most difficult covid times, the opening of 47.8 crore (478 million) bank accounts in which 60 percent are of women shows our #newindia s commitment to #financialinclusivity and #womenleddevelopment.

The scale at which #upi and #upipayments have grown literally gave goosebumps seeing it as a major stepping stone in the progress of #newindia

There are so many more such achievements which will make every Indian proud.

Thank you Dr. Pramod Varma for letting us know so much about Digitisation and the path forward.

And many thanks to FICCI and FLO and FLO Jaipur chapter and our very learned President, FLO - Ms. Sudha Shivkumar for making tremendous efforts to putting this together.

It was an honour to be in the august company of the Hon’ble Judges, Ld. Arbitrators, ADR Professionals, Mediators, Legal Professionals and Academecians in the early part of this month.

As an Arbitrator and Mediator, who is still at the initial stage and age of performing these roles and functions; I had so much to learn especially regarding the critical role of institutions in facilitating international business resolutions, tech resolutions, enchacing value, exploring uncharted terrain, achieving gender equality in ADR and navigating inter cultural conflicts.

I was delighted to be witness to what the Hon’ble Judges had to say, and among all the dignitaries had the pleasure to listen to our very own Mr. JP Sengh and learn from Ms. Sadhna Ramachandran and Ms. Zubeda Begum and of course Mr. Anil Xavier and Ms.Iram Majid

The spirits remained high for all of us and it heightened when the symbolic fist for empower and 3 fingers for women emerged and we all did that with pride.

Every time I listen to leaders such as Dr. Sangita Reddy, I realise that we are firmly and strongly walking on our path of #womenleddevelopment .

#WomenLedDevelopment is a very significant aspect that I shall want to discuss on #iwd2023.

I must say that the concept of #womenleddevelopment got deeply engrained in me at the #G20empower inception meeting held under the #g20india #g20presidency.

Women Led development shows not just women empowerment but also a pragmatic future that shall witness Women in Leadership roles and decision making roles. This shall embark upon a new phase for women which would involve equal or more participation of women in every sphere.

Having said this with all the pride, I would also like to express my gratitude, like many other women in leadership roles (whether at home or at work), to the consistent and continous efforts of a lot of people such as

a supportive family (comprising of both women and men)

an enthusiastic work team (comprising of both women and men)

a series of learned mentors (comprising of both women and men)

a group of great guides (comprising of both women and men)

that have ensured that I walk the path of women led development.

As a special invitee to G20 EMPOWER Inception Meeting, it was an absolute honour to be invited to such an important #G20 India event at Agra.

 #G20 EMPOWER aims at empowering women to lead across various sectors and at the inception meeting it was to further discuss the role of digital skilling and future skills.

It was very empowering to listen to the most accomplished women, our own Hon’ble Smriti Irani ji, the Hon’ble Minister for Women and Child Development and Minority Affairs, India; Dr. Sangita Reddy, Ms. Tsukiko Tsukahara, Leila Elmergawi Ratna Sahay ji, @Prof RubyPawankar, Ms. Harjinder Kaur Talwar, Ms. Geetha Kannan and to interact with them about various issues and further to have such a fruitful discussion with Dr. Harbeen Arora Rai, Ha Lam, Pablo Barrera, Ms.Upasana Arora Chayaa Nanjappa among so many other esteemed delegates and invitees as well. 

I felt so proud when the Hon’ble Minister Smriti Irani ji explained all of us the true essence of #WomenLedDevelopment and I was absolutely inspired to take responsibility with pragmatism in playing a very productive and positive role in the same. 

The concept of Male Champions promoting Women Led Development of which Mr. Amitabh Kant has been a torch bearer and also appreciated by the Hon’ble Minister, is an ethos of the #NewIndia.

My learnings at G20 EMPOWER are precious learnings which I shall keep sharing as we go forward. 

Also this post would be incomplete if I do not applaud the amazing efforts of the Ministry of Women and Child Deveopment and Minority Affairs, India led by the dynamic Smriti Irani ji and the UP government in showcasing the true beauty, culture and richness of India and the beautiful city of #Agra. 

Jai Hind.

“Every nation has a message to deliver, a mission to fulfill, a destiny to reach.”

These profound words were spoken by the most revered Swami Vivekanand.

And it was on my visit to the great Indian Parliament, while watching the Parliamentary proceedings and listening to our respected Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji interacting with the Hon’ble Speaker Om Birla ji that the essence of these words reverberated in my soul, just in the manner that Bharat Mata Ki Jai reverberates in the Parliament House.

It was an honour for me to be invited under the FLO (FICCI) delegation and I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Jayanti Dalmia ji and to Ms. Gayatri Rai under whose leadership the delegation was steered.

The FICCI FLO team deserves a special mention for immaculate planning and assistance in making the trip such a success.

We all had the greatest pleasure to hear the very best from the legal fraternity, the political world, the executive, the business houses and the fourth estate.

It was tremendous learning with regard to mental, physical, emotional and economic well being and believe me you, hearing the experts made us realise that each is equally significant in its own way.

The learnings with regard to the various aspects and especially the way it shall evolve in the ecosystem of India and the comparative analysis with all the other countries is something that definitely set the ball rolling in our minds to understand what shall the next decade or couple of decades in future hold for us.

Many thanks to ET EnergyWorld for having me as a delegate at the Annual Gas Conclave.

The deliberations and the discussions at the conclave were an eye opener especially with regard to having all energy sources as an essential part of our success and progress story.

The way India s energy needs and solutions would pan out is really an amazing space to be in and as a counsel who practices on the Oil and Gas side, I felt proud to be a part of that space.

It was a delight to hear all speakers especially the Hon’ble Minister who also credited Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) for the amendments that it has brought out in its regulations. Furthermore, it was an honour to hear the Hon’ble Member Dr Ashutosh Karnatak (DBA) and also to listen to the pragmatic ideas of Mr. Sarraf, the ex chairperson of Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) among the other luminaries of this sector.

Kudos to Mr.Sudheer Pal Singh and his team for putting together the conclave so flawlessly.

1. The method of logic

And to humbly borrow from the above-said teachings, I would like to mention that the guiding forces behind this day for me are:

• My Mentors

• My Seniors in the profession

• My Mentees and Law students

Most Importantly, the Hon'ble Judges for whom I have the most profound reverence. And last but not least, my beloved Family, who has been a constant support.

With the greatest of affirmation, I can say that I have learned the principles mentioned above, methods, way of life, & profession from my guiding forces.

As we bid farewell to 2021, I would like to write about Humans of Bombay and Karishma Mehta, the founder and CEO of this amazing organisation.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Karishma Mehta on her recent visit to Delhi, earlier this month. I took an opportunity to show my gratitude to the young CEO for bringing Humans of Bombay into our lives. For the uninitiated, Humans of Bombay revolves around the stories of beings not just from Mumbai but all across India, which have been extraordinary and interestingly it therefore is about each one of us.

Meaning thereby, that it not just elevates each one of us to that exalted position, wherein it gets highlighted that we truly have battled such circumstances that our lives have become extraordinary ; but also gives us a gleam of hope, a ray of optimism as we look forward to unfold the magic called Future.

So as I thank the Superior Power of this Universe for the year 2021, who has through its mysterious ways, inspite of the ups and downs that 2021 brought with it; yet anchored me through this turbulent year; I would also like to express my gratitude to one of the most positive organisations that I came across in 2021 Humans of Bombay.

Wishing a splendid 2022 to my LinkedIn family.

The Courtroom Genius is such an engaging book on the greatest of the great, the most revered Mr. Nani Palkiwala.

But I recently realised, once again, that it is much more than that. (I know we all know that). One of the most beautiful experiences I would like to share - on one of my recent trips to Bahrisons Booksellers, Khan Market, when someone asked for the book - the way the name echoed in the shop (with every staff member saying it with a gleam in their eyes), gave me goosebumps.

It seemed as if the Universe transcends by sending the waves of his greatness across generations which shall always be music to our ears or just like Hon’ble Mr. Justice Krishna Iyer said that truth is like a song- so like the most melodious song that our ears are blessed to hear.

Hear the song. Be inspired

As we all await the opening of the movie 83, with bated breath and want to watch the amazing performances of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh and many many talented actors; the tagline that keeps echoing is WE HERE TO WIN.

The Trailer says that

No Matter what's going on in our lives,

When we walk on the pitch in our uniforms,

We have only one purpose,

To play for our country with all our hearts.

We as litigating lawyers can relate so well to this because yes,

No Matter what's going on in our lives,

When we walk in the court corridors in our uniforms,

We have only one purpose,

To do the best we can with all our heart and all our brain.

Courage 

Courage is a very important attribute for a litigating lawyer.

Courage we shall always have to adduce the best arguments for our client, courage we shall always have to understand the facts and circumstances that the client is going through and further Courage to assessing the "Z" for the client that is the final outcome which seems in a scenario.

I would also like to borrow the quote of Mark Twain and share the same with you

"With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity."

You shall always have Courage and so you shall.

' cause You are Made for Litigation.

#litigation #lawyer #litigatinglawyers #lawstudents #motivation #inspiration

KEEN OBSERVER

As a litigating lawyer, it is always wise to be a keen observer. When one is in the court premises either physically or virtually there is so much to OBSERVE, grasp, absorb and adapt.

This can range from observing the arguments of lawyers, the kind of law that is being advocated, the way it is being advocated, and various other actions and reactions.

Being a keen observer and implementing certain aspects according to your personality and requirement takes you a long way.

'cause you are Made for Litigation.

In the series:

1. You Are Made For Litigation (Article 1)

2. You Are Made For Litigation (Article 2)

3. You Are Made For Litigation (Article 3)

Years in Litigation taught me that it is a people's profession. And when I say people's profession it basically means that the profession of a litigation lawyer centers a lot around individuals.

Thus the fact of the matter is that we need to have focus on the client, be empathetic and therefore in that manner understand the pain of the Client and focus on getting relief for the Client by putting in the best research, best efforts and the best application of Law.

Because that is most satisfying.

'cause You are Made for Litigation.

My post is inspired by the wicket of Ben Stokes (who was batting at 99) that Bhuvneshwar Kumar has taken, just now in the 2nd ODI India v. England.

In litigation also, while arguing against a formidable opposite counsel, one needs to remain strong in one' s argument - come what may- even though in your heart the lawyer on the opposite side (that is your learned friend) is someone whom you admire, someone who may have been like a mentor to you, may be senior to you- but there is No Mercy. (Needless to say that it has to be respectable opposition based on law and facts and not in any other manner).

K., Nupun Bhatia, Shruthi Ramakrishnan and Rajat Shah and their talented team for the exemplary efforts that they have been making to provide a great learning experience to all law students all across with respect to mooting.

It was absolutely wonderful and intellectually stimulating to Judge the Semi-Final Round today.

Kudos Promoters. And more Power to you.

Today's win of Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League Final 2021 is also celebrating the iconic winning goal of Chelsea's Kai Havertz. He scored his maiden goal when Mendy passed the ball wide out left to Ben Chilwell and he further passed it to Mason Mount who gave a brilliant pass to Kai Havertz leading him to the historic goal.

These iconic moments that are widely available on YouTube must be watched especially by our younger colleagues who are waiting for action to still begin in their lives. We all as sport aficionados know that to achieve this has taken days, months and years of hardwork, determination and dedication. And the same is true for any area/stream/aspect of life where one aims to achieve.

The Iconic goal shows the significance of team work too.

So lets all of us, as we are waiting in the wings, for either our first goal or for future goals, keep on showing perseverance & working immensely hard so that we score the glorious goal and bring home the trophy that we desire.

'cause You are Made for Litigation.

Ever wondered that when we talk of being a litigating lawyer, we all have a unique style of arguing.

Interestingly, as a litigating lawyer, we need to keep the basics/ethics of arguing as an officer of the Hon'ble Court and then of course have our unique style.

This Unique style of course is build up well on the strength of knowledge, the thorough understanding of your case and the facts, the in-depth passion of the jurisprudence of law that you are advocating and your general awareness about the psychological, physiological and other societal realities that may effect the case and of course many other things that would be unique to you.

Lets Develop that Unique Style. Because thats your Identity.

'cause You are Made for Litigation.

I thought it's only the ink that drops on paper when I write,

Never knew it gets wet by the tears that softens my sight;

I thought I will never lose my known to the Covid Monster,

Never knew that even those valiant fighters would fall to the sinister;

I thought I shall keep my smile, come what may,

Never knew that it would start taking an effort in every way;

But I thought that I would break in despair,

Never knew that I shall have the courage to fight for repair;

But I thought, Will I stop believing?

Never knew that my belief became much bigger than my own living.

We shall overcome

Prayers in Abundance

26th May is marked as a day when Britian saw it's 1st Female Magistrate in 1913. This made me search for the first Female Magistrate of India. The first Female Magistrate of India is Omana Kunjamma who was also the first female IAS officer of Kerela.

I also take this opportunity to state that how much I have idolised and immensely respected the most revered HMJ Anna Chandy ( the 1st Ladyship to become a judge of the High Court), HMJ Fatima Beevi ( the 1st Ladyship to be Judge of Supreme Court), HMJ Leila Seth ( the 1st Ladyship to become Judge of the Delhi High Court and 1st Ladyship to become the Chief Justice of a state High Court) and also Ms. Cornelia Sorabji ( The 1st lady to be a Advocate in India). They have paved the way for the next generations of women who have made, are making and shall make a huge mark in the field of law. It is but obvious that now, by this year 2019, we have had such Women in law who are great role models - be it the most revered Judges, the respectable lawyers, the thoroughly accompolished partners and members of law firms, the polished in house counsels and even the most promising law students. Our immense gratitude and salute to the forerunners of our field.
