Death of A Lawyer

               Adv Manoharrao Gomare Saheb

 Everyday thousands of people die around the world but we care only then when someone near to us is no more.  People come and people go.  It does not change our life.  But some people change our life and the way of our thinking.  

The one such person i have seen in my life is Advocate Manoharrao Gomare Saheb. Adv Manoharrao Gomare Saheb died on 20th December 2023 by old age.  Manoharrao Gomare Saheb was a civil advocate practicing in Latur District Court.  I did not have a personal interaction or talk with him ever. But I have seen his life very closely.  My introduction to him was of less than three years.  I listened him for the first time at Latur District Bar liabrary during his autobiography book inauguration.  

A polite man with a poetic heart. Mother died after giving him birth. He couldn't see his mother's face also. In his many sad poems he has tried to picture his mother's face.  After the mother's death he was raised by his elder brother and his wife. The childhood of this lawyer went in poverty. Life has not done any justice with this lawyer. His son committed suicide in drunkenness. 

His autobiography  called "सत्वपरिक्षा" is published in Marathi.  It is must for all who believes in efforts rather than luck.  In his book, Gomare Saheb has also discussed his life as a junior lawyer, independent practice,  marriage, his unsuccessful efforts to become the member of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, few important legal cases of his career and some advice for young lawyers to achieve success in the advocacy. In his autobiography, Adv Gomare Saheb just wanted to tell us....
