6-You are a success story , what's a normal day schedule like in your life...(the way it was before lockdown and currently during lockdown)
Ashraf- I am an early riser, I wake up, pray, do yoga and some other exercises, read and reply to all my mails, text, whatsapp messages, social media, and make a few phone calls which are very urgent. Thereafter post breakfast, I organise myself for the court cases I have and then leave for Court hearing at the Bombay High Court, some day to other courts and statutory forums. In the evening I attend my office and clients, in between some social meetings if necessary and then prepare for the next day. I also attend any important event or programmes in between , if my schedule permits. Weekends are also full for some or other activities or work which generally I can't do on weekdays but mostly dedicated to family and social causes Sometimes this schedule changes depending upon the situation. However in an Advocates life many times we have to be alert 24 by 7 as some clients approach us in emergencies.
During lockdown mostly I am at home and working from home, Unless there is an emergency I step out by following all the norms. I am doing online consultancy, advising, coordination etc too but most of the time is spent with the family..
