Ruskin Bond and Writing

Growing up I listened, watched, and read many stories from Ruskin Bond. There was always that feeling of melancholy in his stories. They were simple, at times evoking human bonds.

Ek tha Rusty – The TV Show OR Our Trees still grow in Dehra, The Great Train Journey, Strangers in the Night – The short story collections. There are many more from Ruskin Bond.

His stories reflected the simplicity, humbleness, joy, and melancholy.

Interestingly, Ruskin Bond also wrote poems. One such poem –

I Roam No More

I roam no more.

But I can still

See conifers upon this hill

And hear the pines

Whisper in the dark,

Talking to themselves;

For the earth is theirs by right.

And we are but trespassers

By day,

And aliens

In the night.
