The problem of being friends with me is that you can not help but admire me. Admiration creates a thin wall between friends that never really allows you to be too intimate. You admire me ,not for any real reason but  for my sheer breadth of vision,fighting instinct,facing odds and knowledge.
 But you also do so because every others also do that same to me and you have got almost nothing against me. 
It does not matter whether the person you spoke to was a Head of  a University Department , Professor, a head of adjudicating body ,from the Bar , an entrepreneur,a Company executive, an NGO Founder or CEO,my name will always inspire awe and get appreciation.
