‘Although the India of Kim is no more, and the Grand Trunk Road is now a procession of trucks instead of a slow-moving caravan of horses and camels, India is still a country in which people are easily lost and quickly forgotten.’
Did you know that Delhi was half its present size in the 1940s and 50s? Can you imagine a Dehradun with lush greenery, with hardly any commercial places? Do you remember steam engines or have you ever sat in a train pulled by one?
This book takes you back in time as Ruskin Bond relives his memories in timeless classics like ‘Summertime in Old Delhi’, ‘Bhabiji’s House’,’ My Father’s Trees in Dehra’, creating as only he can, vignettes imbued with nostalgia. Add to these the punch of stories like ‘A Station for Scandal’, the thrill of ‘Picnic at Fox-Burn’ and the surprise twist of ‘The Eyes have It’—and you have a story for every mood!
This collection of seventeen stories showcases Bond at his story-telling best.

Party Time in Mussoorie 1 Dec, 2016

by Ruskin Bond

₹ 90.09 ₹ 150.15
You Save: ₹ 60.06(40%)

It is very kind of people to invite me to their parties, especially as I do not throw parties myself, or invite anyone anywhere. At more than one party I have been known to throw things at people. In spite of this—or maybe because of it—I get invited to these affairs.

There’s nothing like being able to see the funny side of things in life. Whether it is a belt that decides to get hooked on to another passenger’s bag, or monkeys who visit and take refuge in the loo or even the omelettes that don’t turn out exactly the way they were intended, Ruskin Bond brings alive each of these situations with wry humour and a generous dose of wit. Party Time in Mussoorie is as much fun to read as it is to attend any of the weird and wonderful parties Ruskin Bond describes in this collection.
