Sometimes, I think, every obsession is exhausted love, but then big things are achieved with obsessive instinct, just like to follow the path tirelessly without knowing where it is leading to. What really is an achievement? Is there any universal definition of it? Achievement is just like a personal stimulation or collective satisfaction? Achievement is name, fame, money, power, pleasure, bliss, or what? Nothing endures that long. Every name and every fame fade away like momentary dust. What about money? Money is just like faith; a piece of paper, or few digits moving here and there, its exchange value is useful for food, cloth, shelter; not more than that. What else its surplus does? Perhaps, a definition of richness which withers away in the pages of history. World is no more ruled by Rockefeller or Rothschild, and these names may be remembered in a short span of time for whatever reason, but they don't endure that long in the history of Earth, just forget about unknown universe. What else may be described as achievement? Perhaps, life itself is an achievement. It's wonderful to be alive. Achievement is not a distant future. You're an achievement.To coil to be is unreal. Here you're. Feel through senses the amazing phenomenon of Universe. Just be there, once you feel the vibrance of life, becoming would be a futile exercise. I have not seen a plant, desiring to be someone, not a drop of river, shivering in insecurity to protect the ego. Water is shapeless, surrender itself with flow, in trance, just like magic of uncertainty pervades around us. Every desire of accumulation enslaves mind; every desire to be is an insult of being. Being is real, here and now, what else, you'll achieve?
Aristotle once wrote in his Nicomachean Ethics that there are four significant virtues for human beings, namely Prudence, Temperance, Justice, and Courage. There are a few judges who have courage and sense of justice, both. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rohinton Nariman has been truly an exemplar judge and erudite historian, theologian and philologist, a great scholar of music as well as a courageous and meticulous jurist of our country. He did his Master of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1980-81 and taught by one of the finest jurists of the last century, Roberto Unger. He became Senior Advocate in 1993 in the age of 37 and also served as Solicitor General of India in 2011 before he was elevated as a judge of the Supreme Court of India in 2014. He delivered many landmark judgments, including Shreya Singhal v. Union of India. There are a few people with whom time moves too fast, but to count that experience takes ages. Justice Rohinton Nariman is one of those great jurists with whom a meet
