I always wanted to be a reader and read any genre that makes
me hook to the book. At the same time, I wish to read books with simple
language. I am never a “fan” type. I am not sure when and how I got hold of
Ruskin Bond’s writing (I do not even remember now which is the first one I
read) simple writing made me start looking for his works. I started treading as
many as possible to read. Many times I immersed myself and do not want to leave till
I finish reading.
As I started getting curious to know got to know about the
author more and thanks to the internet, I realized how many across age groups liked
his writings and are hardcore fans (I observed he got fans across age groups
and they love his works and him as well and the fans always are very
enthusiastic and enjoy sharing positive vibes).
After reading more than 100 books (nearly 900 writings
stories, non-fiction) written and compiled by the author I profiled the author – as an avid reader, writer, gentle, nature-loving, positive being, enjoy nature,
down-earth despite knowing his status as a writer, most of all like to spend
time for himself and for his writings. And many people who knew me started feeling
that I have become a fan of the author. My secret wish is to meet him at the
same time hesitated to meet him for the profile I created of him.
During summer vacation at times, I tried to visit Mussoorie
for various that did not materialize and when I see the fans waiting for him on
his birthday 19th May to wish at Cambridge Book Depot, I feel uneasy
for missing the chance to visit. How do I know what is stored in destiny for
me? I heard the author is visiting Hyderabad and I got a chance to meet him imagine
got 20 minutes with him. I am bowled over by his persona and I realized that whatever
profile I created of him I saw him in front of me. I admired him for all the
attributes I mentioned earlier. What stands out most of all for me is despite
facing many struggles he always got a positive attitude. Now I proudly say I am
FAN OF RUSKIN BOND after meeting him on the 6th of November 2019.
Many Happy Returns of the Day Ruskin Bond sir
