Why the blog?

Why blogging?

With my great love for journalism and media work; with my passion for law and justice; and with my love to inform people, I deemed it important to create this blog primarily to educate and inform people about our courts.
I will publish court stories here as well as raise issues facing the courts. The stories will be factual and it will be written in the most simpler language for the readers to understand. I will interview lawyers as well as raise important topics for the readers to comment.
I will also publish important stories that are related to the judiciary and the bar. They are the two primary stakeholders of the courts.
I will also publish images and videos here where possible wherein people talk about the courts and judiciary. I will also publish my videos whenever I deem it necessary to do so.
I hope you will find this blog interesting. Please do share the articles for more audience too.
