Answer 2

The author Ruskin Bond was coming home to Dehra after hearing of his father’s demise.

• The book "Our Trees Still Grow in Dehra" is a collection of autobiographical short stories based on Ruskin Bond's life
• "Coming Home to Dehra" chronicles a very dark chapter of Ruskin Bond's life. Here, the author shares snippets of his life in a hostel, his issues with his headmaster, and his tremulous home life
• The story revolves around Ruskin Bond hearing the sad news of his father's death. This affects him a lot as his father was the only caring parent; Bond's mother was distant and uncaring
• The headmaster does not help matters as he ends up losing all of the letters that Ruskin Bond's father had addressed to his only son
• Bond, not even having seen the dead body, returns to his hometown of Dehra, only to discover that no one in his immediate family other than him is affected by the death of the father
• All Bond needed was to look at his father one last time, and he describes how being robbed of that makes him believe that his father is still present somewhere and that they may cross paths sometime in the future
