tragu and you told them that you have taken on many people
like him without being affected. So how is that?
Dadashri: In some situations, ‘we’ have also given in, only
because by doing so, that poor fellow will somehow get back on

It is shamelessness and open blackmail (naagai). You can deal
with shameless people and even win but dealing with those who
do tragu will make you by-pass the subhuman life form and go

clients. The client may say, ‘Sir I have paid your fees. I have not
forgotten to pay. In fact you were standing with several people
when I paid you.’ Now what can the lawyer do when the client
counter attacks him in this way? What can the lawyer do, after
all he is human too!
