One does not become small by calling someone as 'Sir.'
I learned this from a retired HC Justice, who always calls me "Sir", though he is much much senior to me.
At first I felt embrassed. But then I began to call some younger lawyers, as "Sir". I immediately felt good as if my Ego inside was melting down.
I feel good whenever I say "Sir, Sir" to a lawyer younger than me.
Narsinh Mehta too said this in a poem that Vaishnavjan is one who "Sakal Jagatma Sahune Vande"😃
