We’ve all grown-up reading Ruskin Bond’s stories but here’s your chance to listen to Ruskin Bond himself talk about his teenage years and how his writing journey began.

A Song of India:
Sixteen-year-old Ruskin, after having finally finished his school, is living with his stepfather and mother at the old Station Canteen in Dehradun. Struggling to begin his writing journey, he tries to make a passage to England to chase his true calling. But as he prepares for his long voyage, the prospect of saying goodbye to the warm, sunny shores of India looms large.

Brought straight from his past, Bond recalls the longing for familiarity, the joys of publishing his stories, receiving his first money order and finding new friends.
