An imaginary piece
Inspired by
Hon’ble Mr. Justice A.K.Ganguly
In the mountain of Tibet
Elder Lama explained to Younger Lama
About Power of Metaphors
And explained that
Metaphors can capture
A sea of information
just in few words.
Younger Lama asked,
Which are the Metaphors
Which can describe Justice A.K. Ganguly?
Elder Lama replied,
He is an iceberg, a catalyst and a farmer.
An Iceberg, because whatever is visible about him
Is just a tip of an iceberg.
His simplicity hides depth of his knowledge.
A Catalyst, because in his presence,
Things began to move on their own,
Even persons who may be hostile to each other,
May start talking amicably in his presence.
A Farmer, because he believes in sowing seeds
For future generations.
Many of his judgments and orders
Are seeds which are sown.
Only after some years,
People will be able to see trees
At places where he has sown seeds.”

Younger Lama asked again,
“Tell me why he was leaning towards
Junior advocates?
It looked as if he was trying to teach them?”
Elder Lama relied,
“All human beings have an instinct
Called Instinct of Legacy.
When a Supreme Court Judge is retiring,
He is retiring from a summit.
The knowledge which he has accumulated so far,
Is going to be of little use hereafter.
He looks around to see
Where he can leave his Legacy.
Junior Advocates are his first choice.
Because they are
The Future Supreme Court of India.”
Elder Lama explained.
Haresh Raichura
Advocate on Record
