Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd. ADVENTURES IN READING
Book SynopsisAs a writer, I have difficulty in doing justice to momentous events, the wars of nations, the politics of power; I am more at ease with the dew of the morning, the sensuous delights of the day, the silent blessings of the night, the joys and sorrows of children, the strivings of ordinary folk and, of course, the ridiculous situations in which we sometimes find ourselves.' We often view the daily happenings around us as ignorable; as things that aren't really worthy of being remembered, cherished or recorded. Little do we realize that these days make us who we are, becoming important milestones in our lives where we form eternal bonds, branch out of our comfort zones, experience our first heartbreaks, dream big dreams as well as get struck by failures. It is these ordinary days that contain things, people and moments, that are perhaps, the most magical entities in our lives. In Adventures in Reading, Ruskin Bond weaves together personal memories and his turbulent yet uplifting journey as a writer. His own experiences as well as the diverse characters in his tales teach us not just various lessons on human nature and relationships, but also to make the most of our daily lives.

This comet was different: its coma resolved itself into the shape of a white horse, its tail and mane whipped back as in a galloping steed. In time, the imaginative could also make out a figure seated on the horse, carrying what was clearly a flaming white sword in its hand. The End of Time tells the story of how Kalki, the tenth avatar of Lord Vishnu, will manifest and deliver the world from the Kali Yuga, or the age of evil, darkness and ignorance, to Satya Yuga, the age of virtue and splendour.
