Congratulations to #Ruskin Bond for being conferred the Padma Bhushan by the President of India - fully deserved and more so as he's my childhood hero....
the magic he created through his books....the call of the tiger, the smell of the jungle and the cries of the wild animals, the chatter and twitter of the birds all went towards building up one's interest in nature as well as protection of wild life....some of his books like 'Rusty Series', 'Leopard on the Mountain', The India I Love' are so popular....and so many others...
may he continue to enthrall through his books, for more time to come and attract the love and attention of numerous of his fans.....
had the pleasure of meeting him at New Delhi last year when he had come down to deliver a lecture at the Penguin Festival...and release one of his books....we exchanged phone numbers and will meet him again.
Many congratulations once again.....
