A strange name..a stranger person..they all say...
What on earth is Babnisms?? You think you are The indomitable Siddhu, the peerless Einstein, the effortless Prannoy Roy, or the timeless Lalu "ji" ??? Who the hell is Babni, and what the heck is a Babnism? They ridicule and I humbly bow and accept..
I am no one..an persona non grata..a name among the crores in the census of India, and on some payroll of some strange organisation, where I am identified more as a number than a name!! Nothing special, nothing extraordinary, maybe below average, but a living soul nevertheless...
Its not me but these people whom I love, my friends, my fellowmen..who have conferred upon me this title..Babni...how it came...one must ask them..how it became famous..one must ask dunno who..but now that it has, it stays..BABNI..I answer to that name..and so..BABNISMS..my idiocy taking shape...
Now for the journey to begin..a journey of a thousand miles..a journey with u n me as partners..friends,foes, rivals, and at times strangers...u enrich me, I bore you..watever..we stay..and we move on...its more about ME though...till you have the care to stand up and ask..I might I might not explain..for I myself might not know...
Time to Live My Dreams....
"I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are,
But a man can have the sun for friend, and for his guide, a star;
And there's no end to voyaging when once the voice is heard,
For the rivers call, and the road calls, and oh! The call of a bird!"
