Imagine you have a favorite toy that everyone loves, but you really want to play with other toys too.

He thinks it's a shame to stick to just one thing when there are so many possibilities.
It's like having a super yummy cake but only ever eating one slice of it; he wants to explore other flavors and see what else Baburao can be.
