So, go ahead and question the established, experience the joys of being able to entertain and muse with a thought without necessarily accepting it. And most importantly, learn to accept the beauty of having different perceptions.

<div>
Hello students</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here are a couple of queries that I felt were relevant and hence I am sharing the audio reply, so that all may benefit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The queries were</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
1. If there is a new technology that facilitates the making of 3D
designs in a way that every design is a novel design due to that
particular technology, then would protection be given to each of the
designs along with the technology?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. As you
mentioned every design is an artistic work and if it is novel, only then
it would be registered as a design, so is getting the novel artistic
work registered under design law has added advantages over copyright
law?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Kindly find the reply <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fLGhx8bW1L-WlvrBU-r30AaeefwDok0W" target="_blank">here </a></div>

Hope this helps all.</div>

<br />
It is unfortunate that COVID 19 related lockdown has disrupted our lectures. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. This presents us with a unique opportunity to learn something new-a new application to hold the classes online-ZOOM cloud meetings.<br />
<br />
As promised, I am uploading the recording of the lecture <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cGRV_IzO6fvGjaGfkI3ya-c-W51_LMSj" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Oh yes, I love this one! A woman would inevitably be more sensitive and emotional towards things…especially women related aspects. So true…often I quote in my lectures on feminist jurisprudence that while a man might read section 376 of the IPC as just another crime against the human body, only a woman would understand and perhaps live through the ordeal that it explains. All, I believe, stems from the fact that a woman experience is essentially different from that of a man…and infact sometimes, there <b style=""><i style="">is</i></b> no parallel male experience available to enable them understand the whole issue. Hence their understandings remain incomplete mostly, for no fault of theirs!
