my first book from Ruskin Bond and my first novella too !! It made me feel like I'm 10 again

A story of how love for few things in us can make us stay distant to people,
How people admire them but despise us at the same time.
How , the want for those things make us what we never were
and how , letting those things go , can make us happy and grow some really good relationships.

An umbrella can be a thing of beauty, but it isn't everything and it certainly isn't more important than people.

I remember watching Vishal Bhardwaj's film adaptation as a kid which captured some of the magic of this story. Simplicity at its finest.

One of the most simple yet beautiful stories I have read this year. It highlights the little joys of life, especially as a young girl of a small town. I loved the fact that the author captures the subtle details of living amongst nature. A must read if you are looking for a book to light up your mood and leave you smiling!

A lovely little story with very believable, very identifiable characters. And the end - the very best possible. I have not read a lot of Ruskin Bond. Would be reading a lot more soon.
