A busy lawyer usually remains half a day busy even on Sunday. The clients meeting are scheduled either in morning or in evening.
If there are no meeting scheduled, a trial court Advocate looks up cases coming up in next week. He looks up witnesses to be examined and prepared, and cases which are listed for arguments in next week.
Some Advocates have routine to go through new law reports which may have come in office during last week.
I have seen a very senior advocate doing something unusual.
He switches of lights of his cabin. He switches of mobile phone. Neither his clerk nor his family is to disturb him for two hours.
Then sitting in darkness, he visualises the Court and Judges before whom he has to argue. Then before them he start rehearsal of his argument in theatre of his Mind. During the rehersal he memorises page number, citations and his submissions and his counter arguments.
Then next day when he argues in Court, he can argue impressively, effortlessly even without touching paperbook of his case.
I do not say that we can follow his method. He studied law in a top US university and then he actually practiced there for one year before returning to India to practise in Supreme Court.
His methods are bound to be superior to methods taught to us in our colleges in India.
This is the reason why we Lawyers are against right of foreign Lawyers to practice in India.
It is to be seen how far we can stop them.

SP-9 Gandhiji asked, “The world is so big. Millions may be chanting Ramanama. Do you really think that Rama will be listening to you?”
StandardGandhiji asked, “The world is so big. Millions may be chanting Ramanama. Do you really think that Rama will be listening to you?”
I read this story in some book by an English Author.
At that time, Gandhiji was staying at a house of a poet in Saurashtra.
The house was big and had many rooms. On ground floor the poet used to live and he used to write his poems. On first floor, in one room, his servant Bahadur used live.
This servant had habit of continuously chanting Ramnama all the time.
So one day Gandhiji asked him, “The world is so big. Millions may be chanting Ramanama. Do you really think that Rama will be listening to you?”
Bahadur replied, “Suppose, that my master wants tea and at that time I am sleeping in my room in first floor. So master will first shout my name. If I do not hear, he will shout louder. Then he will come near stairs and will shout my name. Then he will climb few stairs and will shout my name..well… Don’t you think he will get his tea?”
Gandhiji got the point. If we continuously chant Ramnama, sooner or later, Rama will listen to our voice.
Whatever may be name of our God, if we chant continuously, our voice may be heard by God.
