    WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS GREAT MAN !!!

     

    Five days ago, young man asked me to host him for a few days. I said yes. I never thought that his visit will change my life.

    His name is Somen Debnath (age 26) and he is from India. Five years ago, he started his 'Around the World Bicycle Tour for HIV/AIDS Awareness Programme & Presentation of Indian Culture'.  His goal is to reach 191 country in year 2020.

    'Mission impossible for me', I thought to myself. But, not to him. His philosophy is simple: 'God is in every man and with God he travels'.

    My country (Bosnia and Herzegovina) is 41-st that he visited until now. Amount of Love which he carries can't be explained with words. From him, my family and I got a great knowledge on life. There is something sacred in him, and his visit to my home was like a great cosmic travel for me. He is so simple,  and yet so Great!

    Somen left my town yesterday. He continues his journey on bicycle, although the weather conditions are very difficult.

    My whole country is covered by snow. I'm sitting in my warm home, and I wonder which cause could persuade me to go on a journey under this snowstorm. Although I know that he has no questions like I do,

    I still wonder, where is Somen now...
