A lawyer wields the same dexterity in the courtroom to excise a criminal malaise, but with the sophistication of his words. An economist does the same-steer the economy or government policyhis preferred tool a sharp insight or analysis. What of the architect? Well, he builds a whole vision, to project something that is beyond mere brick and mortar.
These then are individuals who have not only scaled the pinnacle of professional excellence but also, by dint of their exceptional talent, helped define and set standards for their respective fields. Their greatness lies not just in what they do, but in the greater common good that comes out of what they do. Doctors, lawyers, economists and an architect...a few good individuals who lead by example.

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR
The upcoming byelection in the assembly constituency of Milkipur, in Ayodhya district, carries immense significance for both the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP). Scheduled for February 5, it's a battle that could help shape the initial narrative for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. The Scheduled Caste-reserved seat fell vacant after the 2024 general election, when its veteran SP MLA Awadhesh Prasad famously fought and won the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat-under which Milkipur falls, as does Ayodhya. Coming within months of the Ram temple inauguration, that loss had dealt a bitter blow to the BJP: it was tantamount to Hindutva being humbled in its symbolic homeland. Thoughts of redemption will therefore be uppermost in the party's mind.
