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 learningšŸ˜Š

NIRMALA: an emotional journey

Recently I read the mesmerizing Hindi version of novel called "Nirmala" of famous author  Munsi Premchand. I got the reference of this beautiful book from Instagram. I ordered this book and found that it has just 250 pages! It was very thin. It's low number of pages kept me thinking about my decision to buy it. Anyways I started reading it and here I am telling my first review. I will keep it very short yet effective. NIRMALA Nirmala was written by Munsi Premchand in 1926. This book being a satirical and melodramatic, brings in front of us, a horrific conclusion of wrong decisions, jealousy, dubiousness in a relation etc.  It starts with a girl namely "Nirmala", she is eldest of her 4 siblings. Her father was a lawyer and mother- a housewife. At the age of 15, her parents started finding her a groom and they found one. Nirmala used to be very excited and enthusiastic girl. When she came to about her parent's decision, she became very thoughtful and serious. ...

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...
