Shrikrishna: Arjun, we have been meeting regularly over the past many years. We discussed many aspects of Code of Ethics like the meaning of misconduct, disciplinary procedure, principles of disciplinary proceedings, a few live cases and so on.

Arjun: Yes, Lord. It was all interesting but quite often frightening. I lost my sleep many times.

Shrikrishna: True! But your motto says you are not supposed to sleep at all! Ya Esha Supteshu Jagarti…

Arjun: Ha! Ha!! Ha!!!

Shrikrishna: After all, eternal vigilance is the cost of independence.    

Arjun: Agreed. But Bhagwan, today tell me something new. Something latest.

Shrikrishna: Professional Ethics are age-old principles. There can be hardly anything new in that sense. Still, over time, the outlook changes, circumstances change, emphasis changes. In short, its implementation undergoes changes over time.

Arjun: Yes. Kaalaya Tasmai Namah!
