The Bombs Drop

res ipsa loquitur
Latin: The thing speaks for itself.


The battle between tort and torts will always rage on, and frankly I couldn't care less.

Except when the other law class tells you that the lecturer took a test.

There was this eerie silence followed by some 60-odd people randomly running to the 20-odd people they knew had the Law of Torts text. Like that'd help... I'm pretty sure I failed.

That was a swell way to start the year :)


Boring fact:
Did you know that in legal terminology, 'damage' and 'damages' are two different terms?
'Damage' is any harm done to a person or his property.
'Damages' is compensation received by a person due to a damage sustained by him.

A Slightly More Fun Fact
As per Section 497 under the Indian Penal Code, if a man commits adultery with a married woman (with or without the other man's consent, by the way) the man can be penalized but the woman doesn't. So we can make a big deal about voting and driving and drinking, but when it comes to cheating on you respective other, it's morally all right for us? Sometimes, feminism is almost the same as hypocrisy.


Well, now you know :)
