Life’s Magic Moments

As he steps into his ninety-first year, the prolific Ruskin Bond brings nine decades of wisdom to his readers, encapsulated in a book that draws from the author’s most personal experiences.
Reflecting on childhood and old age, people and places and Mother Nature―an inseparable part of his life―the writer ponders over the fleeting nature of human ambition, the sanctity of dreams (for he still dreams) and the endless generosity of our planet.
Fresh and witty, the text puts forth profound learnings with a candour that is uniquely his. Featuring life lessons, musings and memorable quotes, this book is a tribute to life’s magical moments. Because when life fades, it’s words and memories that live on.
