A room in a multistorey building used to light up at 2:00Am and used to go off at 4:00am. There lived a lawyer who later retired as a Supreme Court Judge.
One of his neighbour in that multistorey building told me this story.
In that apartment a lean advocate used to live.
He was on panel of Govt pleaders in Gujarat High Court. Everyday he used to prepare many cases. His day time was consumed in meeting with Govt officers, preparing replies and filing them.
At night at 2:00am he used to wake up. The light of his room used to light up. The light was visible to people who lived in nearby apartment.
Till 4:00am he used to prepare arguments in cases listed on that day. At 4:00am light of his room used to be switched off.
He worked hard and burnt midnight oil as the polular saying said.
He was elevated to High Court Judgeship. Then elevated to Supreme Court and since some years his lordship has retired.
