For most seagulls, life revolves around the basic necessities of eating and survival, with flying serving as a means to secure their sustenance. However, Jonathan Livingston Seagull is far from an ordinary bird. To him, flight represents the essence of life itself. Defying the established norms of seagull society, he embarks on a quest to discover a higher purpose and excel in pursuing his passion.

Richard Bach's "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" is a fable that underscores the significance of fully embracing our lives, even when our aspirations diverge from societal norms. Through the allegorical journey of Jonathan, the story illustrates that by following our dreams, we too can achieve remarkable heights.

Richard Bach's narrative has served as a wellspring of inspiration for countless individuals, including Prof. Biswajeet Pattanayak. In fact, the existence of ASBM University, and its predecessor, the Asian School of Business Management, can be traced back to the profound influence that Bach's work had on him.
