This book is the perfect balm for the soul. To add to the romance, it was raining here all last week as I picked this book up. The dark clouds, slight chill in the air and fat raindrops only amplified the emotion in these stories.
Ruskin Bond writes unabashedly about love in all its varied forms - young love that is fervent and passionate and blind, mature love that seeks laughter and contentment, and other loves like that of a friend, or a dog or nature.
He speaks reverently of the springtime, the hillside, the leaves and the moon and even fantastical woodland creatures. My favorites were those that made me want to snuggle into a pair of warm socks and close my eyes halfway through so that I could see what he saw. I didn't want some of those stories to end at all. In a way, I only have to think of them again to be pulled back into the romance. Recommended reading to put a smile on your face.

"once I saw her, leaning over the balcony railing, I stopped the taxi and waved to her. She waved back, smiling like the su breaking through clouds."
Words, They're magic. Join the right ones, you'll get what you desire. If it's not, mind you, It may not end well. When I got this book, I never intended to read it completely. But as I read, it got more interesting. And the last book I read in English which was "so called romance" was much more interesting. Why? Well, for starters, It was like watching a typical malayalam serial. And then the main course. Even after finishing, I was wondering where the romance was. I couldn't find anything romantic. But for my surprise, it was all lust.
But this one, by Ruskin Bond. its a treat. They way he writes. His skill to infuse the reader into the world he creates through the tip of his pen, and most of all, the romance in it. One word.
Perfect! :)

Even though there were some stories that I didn't like but the last few were really amazing and made me change my mind. 3.5
