"Jai Bubbly Baba" the chants were rhythmic and symptomatic of something truly sinistrous. The energy in the ashram was almost visible to the naked eye. You could see a force field wherever you looked. They all converged seamlessly into the golden room in the middle of the sprawling campus. Bubbly Baba sat there on a wooden bench and was quite at peace with himself. In his earlier life, he was in the IT field, a "cloud solution architect" to be exact. Then one day he realized it was not his cup of tea. He had already been accused of ill-treating his women colleagues. Unofficially he had secured the name Bubbly Man. He just thought it would be just to use the same basic concept for his next avatar. So he created the Bubbly Baba - a man who did absolutely nothing and absolves his followers from nothing at all. All he did - day in and day out and all day long was to chant "Bubbly Girl". It turned out that there were many in his boat. Most IT sector folks in the country were doing more or less the same thing - without the formal setup Bubbly Baba had envisaged. They all quit their jobs and became Bubblists. Try to talk to any of them. Chances are, you will hear a truck load of bullshit about Bubblitva movement. The ashram flourished with generous donations pouring in from the likes of Davis Kalasick, CEO of Suber and a certain Krishnayan Dutt Tiwari - ex governor of Andhera Pradesh, a populous and voluptuous state in India. Bubbly Baba opened his eyes and shouted "Oye Bubbly". His followers followed with the Bubblyastakam. "Swami" a sweet voice broke the rhythm. Baba was furious. "Who is this idiot? I am no Swami. I am Baba" "Arre baba I know. Can you open your eyes and look at me?" Baba realized that this was out of ordinary and that he needed to tackle it a bit smartly. Never before had there been a girl inside the ashram. They had all girlcotted the movement and coined a new word in the process too. "Bubbly Baba will take a recess" He announced and retired to his living quarters. He did not look at the girl but beckoned her to follow him. "Would you like a cup of coffee O my bubbly baby?" he asked her while still avoiding looking into her direction. "Look here" she commanded. He looked up. There she was. The point of his existence. The reason for his bubbly movement. The rise and fall of his entire life. There she stood - like the torch bearer of Bubblydom... The Statue of Subtle Bubblety. The goddess of Venus and the progenitor of all things bubbly. "Swapna. You?" He couldn't believe his eyes. "But I thought you moved to the US" "So what? I can't get into a plane and land in Heathrow?" "Erm That's not what I meant. How come you are here?" "I am here to inject some sense into that dull head of yours" "What?" "What the bubble, Nirmal? What is this bubbly bubbly nonsense? None of our company engineers are with us now in this country. They are all chanting Bubbloya Namaha out there. ••••••• high skilled tech workers. How can we fill the vacancies now?" Bubbly Baba smiled. "It's all because of you Swapna" "Me?" "Yeah, remember those talks on the phone and skype? I ended up writing about them in a public DB and people skinned me alive for that. But it wasn't a bad thing. It just helped me shed my goat skin and truly embrace the fox inside me. I am at peace with myself. I am a fox. I am a Bubbly baba. That's what I am. Nirmal is a make believe. He attained moksha thanks to you." Swapna sighed. "How much are you earning now Baba?" Bubbly Baba scratched his head. "You know? That is a difficult question to answer. Ask me about my revenue... I shall tell you. Ask me about my plans. I will sing. But don't ask me about my profits or operating margin after tax, I have no ••••••• idea." "How will you know if you would survive after two years?" "By living another two years" Bubbly baba smiled. "Now, if you can kindly give your consent for a 3D figurine...." "What is that?" "A 3D picture of yours. We will install a Bubbly Devi statue in our premises and take our movement to the next level." She looked at him seriously. "That will only worsen things. How am I supposed to get employees do the IT jobs now?" Bubbly Baba smiled. "Hire in the US bubbly devi... And pay well." She slapped him hard and left. Bubbly Baba closed his eyes and chanted "Om Bubsat" "Baba" his accounts executive nudged him. Baba opened his eyes. "Got a donation from Tonald Drump." Bubbly Baba smiled. "We should expand in Russia and China too" and then shouted "Oye Bubbly" Everyone followed "Oye Oye Bubbly" |
