Review: I came upon this book after a recommendation from a close friend. Till then, I had only read very few short stories from Ruskin Bond. I must say, the simple yet thought provoking stories woven with deep emotions, will definitely get us out of the mundane and complicated chores we go through everyday in our life. Every story is unique and evokes a certain string of emotions. The endings will make you crave for more. The characters are beautifully created and surely we can identify some from our own lives.The twist in the end is unpredictably interesting, in almost all of his stories. Its great talent to be able to stretch one’s emotions so far and portray them in words in such marvelous way. The stories are simple yet heart touching. It will surely make you feel relaxed and good after a days hard work, or if you have been reading too much heavy stuff. You can clearly figure out that Nature and Ruskin Bond is inseparable. The beautifully described scenic beauty will sure beckon you to go see the places described here in the stories. Almost all facets of love has been described in his stories, the longing for the girl in the platform, the un-materialized love affairs evokes the feeling of pain and missing the one person whom you always longed for. Overall, I enjoyed the read to the fullest and will recommend it to others.

Title: A Light, Soothing Ruskin Bond Book
Review: The Night Train at Deoli is a compilation of Bond’s work. The tales are set in Mussorie, Dehradun and Shimla, where Ruskin Bond has spent a considerable part of his life. Like all his tales, these also shows his love for nature, hills and people living there.The book begins with the story of a school boy meeting a white saaree-clad-starnger woman, and she taking care of him in a very simple gesture. ‘The Photograph’ is a story of where a grandson looks of similarities between the little girl in the photograph, in his hand and the grandmother’s current state. A revenge murder is planned by a nephew of the aunt in ‘Chachi’s funeral’. It was expected to be a short murder mystery but the author had something more spectacular on mind. ‘The man who was Kipling?’ is a thought provoking story about the Indian writing. ‘The eyes have it’ is narrated by a blind man. It is a flirtatious conversation between two train passengers. ‘The boy who broke the bank’ is a valuable lesson to inefficient employers. ‘The Thief’ is a story of a thief’s conscience aided by the desire to learn. ‘The Kitemaker’ is a story of a kite maker reminiscing his old days of making kites and kite festival. ‘Panther’s Moon’ and ‘The Leopard’ have almost the same plot. ‘Sita and the river’ is a story of young girl who has lived all her life in a secluded island with her grandparents, and how one day a disastrous flood changes her life. ‘Love is a sad song’ is a story of a 30 years old man falling in love with a teenage girl. It was the most absurd story of the book. ‘The night train at Deoli’ is a story of man seeing a girl on the Deoli platform every time the train passes by, bringing in a urge to meet her. Does he get to meet her?-The backdrop of every story is capable enough to yearn the reader for a day at that beautiful, mesmerizing place described.-Ought to say, a story or two are absurd. The plots for some stories are almost same. There is a lot repetition is terms of description of places.
