Ruskin Bond in the past six decades of his writing career has more than 500 published works in his name. Many of his stories were initially published in newspapers and magazines. He is also one of the few authors in India whose stories are compiled and re-compiled into anthologies and collections. Many of his stories are part of the school syllabus. Once, when he was asked how he reacted when children came and told him that they read his stories in their textbooks, he jokingly replied he would apologise to them!
His most renowned works include the following:
Short story collections like Our Trees Still Grow in Dehra, Time Stops at Shamli, Funny Side Up,A Town Called Dehra, The Night Train at Deoli, and The Adventures of Rusty.
Novels like The Blue Umbrella, Delhi is Not Far, Vagrants in the Valley, Once Upon a Monsoon Time, A Flight of Pigeons, andRoads to Mussourie.
Autobiographical works like Scenes from a Writer’s Life and A Lamp is Lit.
Ghost stories like A Season of Ghosts and Ghost Stories from the Raj.
Poems like Lone Fox Dancing, It Isn’t Time That’s Passing, andTo Live in Magic.
Ruskin’s Bond’s stories have also been adapted in films. Some of the famous films based on his works are, Junoon (based onA Flight of Pigeons) by Shyam Benegal, Saath Khoon Maaf(based on Susanna’s Seven Husbands) and The Blue Umbrella (based on a book with the same title) both by Vishal Bhardwaj. Bond, in fact collaborated with Bhardwaj in the making of The Blue Umbrella.
Most of Bond’s works are believed to be semi-autobiographical. Many of his protagonists’ mothers were estranged, fathers were loved, and the gardeners were modelled like Dukhi. The animals and natural elements mentioned are based on the Himalayan flora and fauna he saw in his lifetime. The themes of his writings show inspirations from his friendships and relationships with the locals, and his favourite town – Dehradun, which he lovingly calls Dehra.
In an interview, Bond expressed his life’s mantra, thus, “[L]ife is fleeting. So one should seize the moment and get as much true enjoyment out of living, out of friendships, loving relationships, out of things that give you pleasure, whether it is books or films or any form of mentally stimulating satisfaction.”
