RBP vs VMP
In sharp contrast to my taste, the
present piece is largely autobiographical, though not without reason. As it’s
already known to some of my friends, for quite some time I started using two
names, by now I thought it proper to work out some logic behind this change in
my behaviour at least for the sake of my own understanding. The answer is
simply complex as the question itself, that is to say, it has precisely got to
do with my inner duality, so gradually this duality became so apparent that it
was no longer possible to keep it under control, consequently, two different
but interrelated surface manifestations emerged. One is related to me since my
birth, family, academic education, in other words, what could be called
official. This aspect of mine is represented by RBP (Ram Bichar Pandey). Here,
it’s interesting to note that, I was named after a well known Bhojpuri poet who
practised medicine in my native town Ballia. On the other hand, VMP (Vidhu Maghavan
Parasharya), signifies more deeper and ultimately more interesting aspects of
mine for instance, my interest in mysteries, History, Culture,
Astro-Psychology, Tantra to name a few. Hence, to conclude, let me rephrase the
entire argument into a simple statement; whatever I do in relation to my family,
linguistics (My pet subject since my graduation days) and anything known to be
official will belong to RBP, rest, a large chunk though, will remain with VMP.
