Review: Making of Babaji Inc.

Making of Babaji Inc. by Shravya Bhinder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“One of these mind-boggling problems comes to haunt Billu’s life. Billu, a middle-class bank cashier, loses a bag containing lakhs of rupees belonging to a high end customer. His superstitious wife convinces him to seek the advice of Babaji she knows. Billu undergoes a change of faith. His mediocre life takes a humorous turn and set off for a distinctly accidental journey… Making of Babaji Inc.”

• Funny and light read
• Nice work for a debut
• Fresh plot

Making of Babaji Inc. is a debut work of Shravya Bhinder. She comes up with an entirely new and fresh plot. The story comes up with the concept of self-appointed Godmen/women and how superstitions win over logic and ridiculous solutions often termed as “Upaay”.

The story is a comical journey of a bank-cashier Billu turning into a babaji that leads to the making of “Babaji Inc.”. It is indeed a funny and easy read.

Shravya Bhinder can undoubtedly shine as a bright star in writing. Her caliber is very much evident in her work. Her writing style is simple, lucid and engaging. This satire is a must read. And yes, it is out-of-the-box read too.
