Could not complete morning program. Appeared in the High Court in Frigoglass case, and prayed for a short adjournment as K.T.S Tulsi could not come due to impending hospitalization of his elder brother in the AIIMS. Both K.T.S Tulsi and Shri. R.T.P.S Tulsi, his elder brother, are also appearing in the case. One of the Judges of the High Court Of Punjab and Harayana asked for the convenient date for next hearing in which K.T.S Tulsi would be able to attend. As told by K.T.S Tulsi i prayed for adjournment to 16th or 30th March. The Judge said " Mr. Shrivastava, you are asking for a short adjournment. If 16th March is a short adjournment, then what is the long adjournment? ". I apologized and said that Mr. K.T.S Tulsi had given commitments to the clients in February and 1st half of March. Hence the request for 16th march. The Judge smiled. The next date of hearing was fixed on 16th March. While one of the Judges was having a dig at my 'short adjustment request' the other judge, the chief justice, was smiling. Both of them were floored by my apologies and did not make further comments. I firmly believe that politeness, love, friendship, sympathy, goodwill can win even your bitterest enemies. You can win your wife with these and not by anything else, even by most prudent arguments.
