Money is what drives the world so say people, but Babanrao Mhaske doesn't believe in the dictum.

Money is what drives the world so say people, but Babanrao Mhaske doesn't believe in the dictum.

The simple villager hasn't touched currency for over 20 years as he thinks it is the root of all evils.

A farm labourer from Aadas village of Kaij tehsil in Beed district, Mhaske took the oath 22 years back, something that he continues to follow till date.

"After an incident that took place 22 years back, I realised that money is the only cause behind disputes. It was then that I decided not to touch money till I am alive,"said Mhaske, aged around 58.

He said: "I avoid having tea and meals outside my house, as it would compel me to breach my commitment".

Interestingly, Mhaske's landlord hands over his monthly salary straight to his family. Despite odds, he is committed to keeping his promise, which he has made to himself. "Come what may, but I would keep my promise till the last breath".u00a0
