Ruskin, the Radiant Bond ruskin bond house

 Me and my kids are Ruskin Bond fans.I am here in Landour,Mussoorie since two days. Went to visit Lal Tibba and was very keen to have a glimpse of Mr.Bond's residence. Was in the lanes around his house being very hesitant to disturb his privacy.

Also sceptical...what if he refuses to entertain visitors. My boys brought their Ruskin Bond books to get his autograph.

Amidst all these thoughts I stopped the car(tried to park it towards the side).To my surprise a police personal came running to me and said,"No ! you cannot stop the car .There will be a long traffic jam on the road if you do."

I am disheartened that I almost got there...still could not see his house...leave apart meeting him.

Now sitting in the balcony of my room,sipping masala chai and overlooking the breathtaking city of Mussoorie...I am reading Ruskin Bond book.

Breathing the same air...watching the same clouds pass by....enjoying the same view...this is the closest we could get to you Mr.Ruskin Bond — at The Royal Orchid - Mussoorie.
