~ Prapti Chaudhari (Std. X Abhinav Vidyalay) “I am still on my zigzag way, pursuing the diagonal between reason and heart.” Well, I think you all have guessed it right, yes! It is indeed Ruskin Bond. He is a famous British Indian author and poet. Born on 19th May 1934, he spent his childhood in Kasauli till the age of six and then in Dehradun after his father, Aubrey Alexander Bond joined the Air Force . His world revolved around his father but the unfortunate death left Bond in grief. But the time he spent with his father is beautifully described in his novel, Looking for The Rainbow: My Years with Daddy . “ No one rules the world forever, the gods grow jealous.
