Scenes from a Writer’s Life
Ruskin Bond on writing about the Partition in his recent memoir for children, making and losing friends and his new collection of short stories.
Author Ruskin Bond signs books for his readers every Monday at the Cambridge Book Depot in Mussourie. But the author made a special trip last Sunday to celebrate his 85th birthday. Looking back at his life, he says he has no regrets and has spent it doing what he loves — writing. He marked the occasion with the release his latest book — the third in his series of memoirs for children — Coming Round the Mountain (Puffin, Rs 250). “In this book, I write about my school days, which involved hockey, football and other mischief,” says Bond, in a phone call from Landour, where he resides. “This was also an interesting time, as we lived through 1947, when a lot of changes took place around us,” he adds. This is the last book in the series, as it is for children and only spans his boyhood days.
