At the tender age of 14, I embarked on a journey of self-reliance, offering tuitions as my first step into the realm of earning.

The entrepreneurial spirit soon led me to supply packaging materials, ingeniously crafted from old newspapers, to local shopkeepers.

This resourcefulness set the stage for a diverse career that unfolded over the next 35 years.

From the vibrant textile hub of Ludhiana, I transitioned into the world of sales, eventually becoming a dedicated sales agent for a textile company.

Yet, passion continued to steer my course, propelling me into the realms of writing, journalism, drama, and photography.

The odyssey traversed nine countries and nine states of India, embracing myriad roles from reporter to Editor in Chief across Hindi, English, print, television, and web media.

A pivotal moment arrived when the monotony of corporate commands threatened to stifle my passion.

Choosing to break free from a lucrative TV channel offer, I delved into the uncharted terrain of politics.

The legal profession became a lifeline, supporting my family and adding a new dimension to my journey.

As 2023 draws to a close, reflection reveals a fascinating and satisfying tapestry of experiences.

Each thick case file, latest judgment, or legal book appears as a sacred to me, prompting the realization that this path was meant for me all along.

The legal career, which initially seemed a detour, now stands as a culmination of diverse experiences.

Approaching 2024, I await the new year with renewed hope and enthusiasm for my legal career.

Plans unfold, from expanding clientele to venturing into new legal domains, launching a legal publication, writing books, and acquiring another degree for practice in a new country.

The journey, with its twists and turns, validates the belief that it's never too late to discover one's true calling.

Here's to the forthcoming year—a canvas ready for new chapters, new challenges, and a continued exploration of the vast landscape of law.
