Babunama

**"Babunama"** is not just my story; it is the voice of all those who dared to think beyond boundaries, live fully, and bring about change in their lives. The word "Babu" carries a deep and complex history, and so does the journey of an individual-and that is the essence of this book. It captures the essence of my 70 years of experiences-as an administrator, entrepreneur, speaker, writer, and photographer. This is not an autobiography, but a collection of memoirs filled with reflections, ideological shifts, struggles, and glimpses of self-realization.

What I've learned from life, I call the **"Pastor Doctrine."** Its first principle is to live like clouds-light, free, and present in the moment; the second is to live like rivers-with continuity, flexibility, and a journey toward self-dissolution. The first part of the book recounts life events that shaped my thinking, while the second traces my ideological evolution-from being a communist in childhood, a socialist in youth, a capitalist in adulthood, to now moving closer to a religious worldview in old age.

This book will inspire you to look within and see your own life from a new perspective.
