Senior Advocate Chander M. Lall, Off The Record With Sanya Talwar | Full Episode

A lawyer, a force in Intellectual Property law, and a man who lives life giant-size. He doesn’t mince words. That kind of confidence feels innate, or perhaps it’s honed by the discipline of sculpting one’s own life with clarity and purpose.

What struck me most in our conversation was his instinct for the golden median, that quiet balance between ambition and awareness. When he said, “I never lost touch…” it landed somewhere deep, at that hidden corner of the mind that stops getting sunlight as we age. The one you must consciously revisit.

Revisiting those corners isn’t easy. But as he reminded me, mental health and fulfilment often come from nurturing spaces that reflect who we are, friendships, passions, and communities that sustain us beyond our work. It’s advice many of us in demanding professions forget, until we’re reminded that balance isn’t luxury. It’s sustenance.

Thank you, Mr. Lall, for reminding us that success means very little if we forget to live well.
