In Memoriam The writer is Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India There are ordinary men and there are special men and then there is somebody who cherished life, a man with a passion and a zest for life The Icon, the inimitable Soli Sorabjee. As a law student, and as a young lawyer, I had read of him, and I had read his judgments and his arguments, but one of the strongest impressions he made on me was in one of his interviews as the Attorney General of India, which left an indelible imprint in my mind. When responding to a question in the gardens of 10 Motilal Nehru Marg, he said in his inimitable style that he was the Attorney General of the country and not of the government. The statement resonated with me and has stayed in my mind since then. Another memory I have is of Mr Soli Sorabjee when his office was at second floor of Sunder Nagar, I remember we had to climb two floors and I remember being very enamoured by the jazz posters adorning his office.
