Model United Nations and its learning

 Recently I completed my first MUN competition organised by Gujarat national law University, Gandhinagar. When I heard about a MUN, it was the first day of my university and I was thinking that what is this demon which was hidden from me, of course, I was into my studies in such a manner that I forget my extracurriculars.

In the second semester of my university, I got an opportunity to participate in one and it was great learning. I got United Nations Security Council and trust me it is the best part of UNGA. I got a chance to represent Switzerland, a neutral country recognised as one of the happiest countries in the world. Switzerland is one of the non-permanent members of the UNSC and it is there with various mind-boggling ideas which can really help the world in taking a u-turn from chaos and moving towards stability. Although I didn't have much content to present so I went through the country's foreign policy and tried to inculcate the personality of a delegate of a proud country like Switzerland. 

 When you are going to represent a country at MUN, you are going to see geopolitics and foreign policy as well as all about that country in detail which is a new add-up to your knowledge. You come to know about a parliamentary way to represent yourself and how and where to represent your idea, where to speak and where not to speak. 


When you represent a country, you carry a divine aura inside yourself which gets reflected in your way of speaking. While representing a beautiful country like Switzerland, I was fully aware of where should I speak and my main focus was observing the house and stopping the chaos and bringing all the parties to the negotiation table. 




In MUN you get to know how to play diplomacy and put your ideas inside other person's minds which again is a very important skill. 

Now when somebody asks that as a lawyer what is the importance of a MUN. The answer is: You get the skill of representing your idea and it enhances your speaking skill. MUN brings clarity to your mind and your personality becomes strong and your convincing skill improves which is again very important if as a lawyer you are focusing on ADRs.

Thankyou for reading. Happy learning😊

CLAT JOURNEY

 I started thinking about the law when I was in class 11th but didn't know about clat paper. When I developed an interest in the CLAT, I thoroughly searched about this paper. After buying a subscription of an online preparation app, I started my tedious yet wonderful journey.  The CLAT journey starts with making a paper strategy and ends with taking model sample paper and my case was not different so I gave approximately 200 papers. Oh! I think it appears too many but holds on, I didn't analyse the given papers. The most important thing is to analyse the sample papers you have given and find new mistakes in your paper and again recheck it. CLAT preparation is very monotonous and boring but current affairs is the section which gives a thrill. Current Affair is the first love affair which demands a lot of time and I gave it the same.                                 The sections starting from legal re...

HARD TIMES CREATE STRONG MEN

Introduction We have often come across people saying that when we are put into challenging situations, God himself is testing us  ✨ . Once out of that situation, we develop resilience and open ourselves to face this ever-evolving and challenging world. It is said that our challenges begin from the day we are born, but sometimes, we tend to normalize these challenges by blaming the situation  😶 . There are many times when these challenges are in someone's control, and they can make life easier, but they don't. We have doctrines like the polluter pay principle, which clearly states that one who harms the environment also bears the cost, but let me ask, how often do we follow it? and how often do we try to enforce it?  Remember the water crisis in Chennai? the time when a metropolitan city like Chennai was facing a huge water shortage in 2019, and water was brought by train from 200 kms away, such incidents are not in isolation now, they are a sign for us to wake up from o...

MARITAL RAPE: A TABOO AND A LEGAL FAILURE

   Introduction Our country is considered to be an ancient civilization where rights and duties are considered as basic fundamental features of the life of its citizens. In 1860, Lord Macauley drafted the greatest penal provision extending to the whole of the country. Several offences were penalized and adequate punishment was given to offenders. In 1950, we got our pious constitution where the Right to Life was considered a fundamental right and through its varied and thought-provoking interpretations, we amended ourselves and the lives of citizens became more achieving and we again are on the pedestal of being one of the great civilizations. In our country, matrimony is regarded as a sacrament rather than a contract. Although Muslim marriages are in the form of contracts, still it is considered very pious and much like a sacrament if not exactly. From our ancient text, we get a fair idea of how two persons are considered as one but there is no penal provision either in ancie...
