Dhiraj Chawla

Dhiraj Chawla is my name, and you can find me at 19 Mohali Chandigarh New Bar Complex. This place is always buzzing with energy because of all the legal professionals and their clients moving around. My office is part of the complex, and it is a place where there is always a sense of urgency. The hallways are narrow and you often have to squeeze past people carrying heavy bundles of papers tied with red string. Inside my workspace, it is mostly just me and my files. I have a wooden nameplate on the desk that was a gift years ago. The air is often filled with the sound of many conversations happening at once through the walls. I spend my mornings mostly in court and the afternoons back here at the desk. It is a lot of reading and a lot of waiting for things to happen. I usually bring a tiffin from home for lunch because the local stalls are too crowded during the break. There is a lot of tradition in a place like this, and you see the same faces every day for years. It is a demanding environment, but it has a rhythm that you eventually get used to. I try to keep my desk clear, but by the end of the week, it is usually buried under a mountain of documents.
