Giligadu- The Lost Days by Chitra Mudgal is a tend

Giligadu- The Lost Days by Chitra Mudgal is a tenderly written novel on growing old. It is a human story that will appeal to readers of all ages, young and old.
It is a story that is familiar to us- the coming of old age and learning to come to terms with the challenges and the tribulations of growing old. Jaswant Singh has left his home in Kanpur after the demise of his wife, and lives with his son in Delhi. A chance encounter introduces him to retired Colonel Vishnu Narayana Swamy. They become close friends, though they are as different as chalk and cheese. The novel plays out against the backdrop of this friendship.
When I started reading the book, I thought the plot was more or less predictable and straightforward. But no. There is an element of surprise, which really propels the plot to an entirely new dimension. I felt that the author has been successful getting under the skin of Singh. The words beautifully capture his sense of anger, loss, regret, defiance and also hope, towards the end, when “He felt like he had been touched by a divine force,”. When you complete reading the book, no matter what your age, I’m sure you’ll have a smile on your face and a renewed sense of hope! this could be in a sense a novel on growing old, but shows that one can still always be young at heart!

A small pictorial trip to a garden inspired by literature.........
Katherine Mansfield was a New Zealand-born author recognised internationally as one of the foremost pioneers in modern literature. ‘The Garden Party’ is one of her best-known works. Garden design detail recalls the style and architecture appropriate to the Edwardian period in New Zealand. Some elements are directly inspired by the original story including a marquee set for a party, a tennis court and a small band. Under the marquee, delicate treats and beverages crafted from resin and concrete have been laid out ahead of the party. There is also an Edwardian era Ford Model T. Katherine Masfield’s museum is known as Katherine Mansfield House and Garden and is located in Wellington, New Zealand (pic credits to the same) #bookedforlifeindia #bookedforlife #bookstagramindia #bookwormlife #literarylifestyle #theliterarylife #bookishthings #thereadinglife #bookishlife #bookinfluencer #booktography #readmorebooks #bookreviewer #bookstagram #mumbaibooksta #indiabookstagram #bookstagrammersindia #bookishstories #readersofinsta #theliteraryworld #bookpromotion #loveforliterature #literarymusings #bookishmusings #articlesonbooks #bookmarketing #katherinemansfield #katherinemansfieldhouse #literarytravels #travelwithlit

On the very first page of Ruskin Bond’s ‘A Boo

On the very first page of Ruskin Bond’s ‘A Book of Simple Living’, is a very beautiful and serene illustration of a trail of ants. Even before I can immerse myself in the soothing words of this book, my mind goes back a decade in time. My now-tween then-toddler and I were in a park, staring at a long line of ants that he spotted. We had all the time to ‘stand and stare’ at the busy ants. I still remember feeling so calm and at ease, and experiencing a sense of solidarity with nature, even as the world around us went buzzing by. This is exactly the kind of feeling that reading ‘A Book of Simple Living” evokes!

Looking for the Rainbow by Ruskin Bond
.
. On the 86th birthday of one of the most revered writers of India, it is apt to pay homage to his simple and yet deep reflective and honest writing. Ruskin Bond’s books and stories resonate with children and adults alike. ..........................................
It is difficult to choose my favourite Ruskin Bond work. Yes, it is like finding a needle in a haystack! But, I would rate “Looking for the Rainbow” clearly amongst his best. This was a birthday gift to his fans on his 83rd birthday. .........................................
“Looking for the Rainbow”, his book for his young fans, chronicles two precious years of his life spent with his father, who clearly remains to be the most influential person in his world, even as he crosses his eighties. He mentions in the beginning, that contrary to popular opinion, his memory has not faded with age. He remembers his childhood days very clearly. He loses his father early and this has a deep impact on his life. However, this memoir acknowledges this painful fact with so much beauty and tenderness. There is absolutely no bitterness. Only a great writer can achieve this balance. And this is why this book remains one of my favourite works!
What’s your favourite Ruskin Bond book?

“Children are naturally highly creative in nature. Parents must provide a non-judgmental atmosphere to them. Provide the exposure, but don’t interfere with the process”
