"A very happy birthday to you, Mister Bond. You are not only my favourite author, but also my inspiration. You have given me hope when I thought everything was lost. From childhood I have looked up to you and hoped I could be like you, even a little bit. Dear sir, you have shown me how beautiful can the world be. I will forever be grateful, sir, that you change my life for the better. And pray that you keep celebrating many more birthdays like this."

"And often there is nothing in your writings except Himalayas, the nature and the simple lives of villagers. And I immediately wanted to know that. Who are your favorite authors? I hunted down for these books and I found the gems of Frank Smythe, Rummer, Gordon and John Lang. And as I read their books, I became aware about the contribution of these authors in indian english literature and indian history."

"And then your fiction that played such an impact as early as when I was eight years old. And when I started reading about Rusty, I realized that there is a world that I can get lost into. And I was introduced to reading."

"Thank you for making childhood so beautiful, realistic, enchanting, and just a bag full of happy memories. Even when we read your books now as adults, they bring back all those memories. And thank you for preserving the language and for making reading your books so pleasurable and so enjoyable. Every word, every comma, every full stop. It's a path to english discovery as well as childhood discovery. Thank you."

"Did you ever create a short story universe in your books, like some characters from another short story getting into the one you're writing? Or do you intend to create a universe like this? Because it would be really interesting, in my opinion. So I'd love it. Love it if you could answer these questions. Thank you, sir."

"Any number of words will be insufficient to appreciate the nature. That's what I believe. But we can feel it aptly. We can't express what we feel, but it does feel really great. That's what I believe. And I'll say I think there are two types of good books. One is we can't wait to finish it. We are reading as fastly as possible. And the other type of books are like, we never want them to finish."

"I read it. And at that age, around 1516, I didn't had the knowledge of what a narrator is, who a narrator is and how to write in third person form and etcetera. So I read the stories with utmost charm. And then I discussed it with my uncle and I said, you know, the skinborn did that in his childhood. He did that in his childhood. And he was like, no, he didn't do it. It's a story."

@arish | Ruskin Bond stories were like butterflies…

"Each Ruskin bond tale was like a butterfly that landed softly on your hands and filled you with delight and wonder before flitting away. I think readers of Ruskin Bond recognized that metaphor, something that Ruskin Bond himself was fond of using. But it is a delightful part of my own childhood."

"And in a way, they've awakened a sense of wonder and appreciation towards life in all its complexity. Today, I reflect on the hours I've spent in the pages of your books and the lessons they've taught me and how they continue to do the same for both my sons, who love rusty and his adventures as much as I love them. And on this special milestone of yours, I want to thank you for sharing your gift of storytelling with the world."

Wishing you a wonderful birthday and also take this opportunity to thank you for all those lovely stories that have dotted up my growing up years and now a part of my son's going up years.
