Reading Ruskin Bond..! 'Friends in Small Places'

The Gentleman Ruskin Bond (his pen name) is a great writer of English prose which evokes feelings of nostalgia, beauty of English prose and a  feeling of brotherhood among human beings who generally think this life as a gift.

The story of Masterji who taught Hindi and the students thought it was Hind and ultimately it turned out to be Punjabi is enthralling.  Inspector Kismet Lal who was never to be a Police Inspector but was one shows the kindness of human beings to other humans and (almost Godly) and loses his promotions but saves further complications for his fellow beings is  is a must read for todays generations.

The story of Kishen Singh, the Watchman of the Train Tunnel, was an unforgettable lovely friend to the young Ranji who could not forget him when he was leaving for Delhi for further prospects at the command and order of his Dad is one of nostalgia and keep sake thoughts which every one has, who travels out to new boundaries.

To enjoy the feelings one has to go through his book, 'Friends in Small Places' by Ruskin Bond.  I leave it to you my dear readers to go through and enjoy them.
Take a chance and enjoy whenever y\ou can lay your hands on the book.
