Bohemian Babs

Bohemian Babs

I have felt compelled to write on this blog after a long time. I met Babita at the waiting lounge of the Delhi Airport. Babita is a “woman entrepreneur”, a neo-buddhist and a great conversationalist. She laughed, very kindly at my feeble attempts at humour and shared experience which were hearfelt and honest. She thinks I am Buddha, which is flattering to say the least. Its often that people meet each other at places like airports and become deep friends, or at least share experience they never would have with anybody else. But the reason I am writing this experience is because it touched me to see her fighting spirit and the small glimpse of the challenges she is going through.
Lets hope that this is “the beginning of a long lasting friendship”.
