A feel-good book. It is the fifth book in the Rusty
series. The book carries Rusty's struggles to be a writer. It covers his time
spent in Delhi to his finally shifting to the hills. He freelanced from Dehra,
then explored lanes of Delhi (old as well as new), shifted to Shahganj for a
while, and then settled in the hills around Mussoorie because,
"It is always the same with Mountains. Once you
have lived with them for any length of time, you belong to them. There is no
escape."
All the stories are classic, masterpieces by the
master story writer. These will take you to a comfort zone. My favorite from
this book is 'From Small Beginnings', where Ruskin Bond's alter ego Rusty meets
Prem for good. The book presents a beautiful read. A must-read for Ruskin
Bond's fans.
