A Bond with Ruskin Bond

 

A Bond with Ruskin Bond

 

Got acquainted with Binya,

When I was aged ten,

As she walked about with a blue umbrella,

I tagged along, enchanted by the words from your pen.

 

Admire your simple storytelling,

A unique way of true events evolving,

Keeps me glued to the seat,

Till I read the end of the adventurous feat.

 

Years passed by,

My kids are hooked to your story’s cast,

All of us have read and re-read your stories,

Especially when holidaying in quite valleys.

 

With many a memories,

One particularly sneeks up,

My son reads “A face in the dark”,

When all alone in a resort room in Corbett.

 

Now every day,

As a family we congregate,

To hear you read”The story of the day”,

Thrilled if it’s a story, memory could recollect.
