Professional duty met the peak of the Himalayas this week as an advocate appeared on a Delhi High Court hearing virtually from a snow-clad balcony in Sonamarg. Braving sub-zero temperatures to fulfil her responsibilities, she demonstrated her speed during the legal arguments, leaving the judge thoroughly impressed. The presiding judge, who was reminded of the famous song Breathless, praised her for the speed and focus she maintained while arguing from what social media users called "work from heaven."
