#Ruskin Bond stories

Seventh Time's the Charm?

It’s one thing to read a novel and be impressed by how brilliant the writing is; it is completely different to read a short story, novella, and screenplay about the same plot and marvel at the excellence of the authors three different times! Everyone loves a good mystery crime thriller, but Ruskin Bond and Vishal Bhardwaj go a step further — they put in some broken hearts and unrequited love into…

"It's easy to rob a greedy man, because he can afford to be robbed: but it's difficult to rob a careless man - sometimes he doesn't even notice he's been robbed and that takes all the pleasure out of the work"

A change of pace is always nice and refreshing while one is on a reading spree, like me. The books that I read in the past month were very deep and intense hence I needed to read something light and less overwhelming, and here I was going through Ruskin Bond’s bibliography when I stumbled upon The Hidden Pool. It’s Ruskin Bond’s first ever children’s book and was published long back in 1966 (so…

All the cows were falling out of the sky and landing in the mud. You were drinking sangria and I was throwing oranges at you

But it didn’t matter. I said my arms are very long and your head’s on fire

I said kiss me here and here and here

And you did

Then you wanted pasta

So we trampled out into the tomatoes and rolled around to make the sauce

You were very beautiful

We were in the Safeway parking lot. I couldn’t find my cigarettes

You said Hurry up! but I was worried there would be a holdup

And we would be stuck in a hostage situation, hiding behind

The frozen meats, with nothing to smoke for hours

You said Don’t be silly

So I followed you into the store

We were thumping the melons when I heard somebody say Nobody move!

I leaned over and whispered in your ear I told you so

There was a show on the television about buried treasure. You were trying to convince me that we should buy shovels

And go out into the yard and I was trying to convince you that I was a vampire

On the way to the hardware store I kept biting your arm

And you said if I really was a vampire I would be biting your neck

So I started biting your neck

And you said Cut it out!

And you bought me an ice cream, and then we saw the UFO

These are the dreams we should be having. I shouldn’t have to

Clean them up like this

You were lying in the middle of the empty highway

The sky was red and the sand was red and you were wearing a brown coat

There were flecks of foam in the corners of your mouth

The birds were watching you

Your eyes were closed and you were listening to the road and I could hear your breathing, I could hear your heart beating. I carried you to the car and drove you home but you weren’t making any sense

I took a shower and tried to catch my breath

You were lying on top of the bedspread

In boxer shorts, watching cartoons and laughing but not making any sound. Your skin looked blue in the television light

Your teeth looked yellow. Still wet, I lay down next to you. Your arms, your legs, your naked chest

Your ribs delineated like a junkyard dogs. There’s nowhere to go, I thought. There’s nowhere to go

You were sitting in a bathtub at the hospital and you were crying

You said it hurt

I mean the buildings that were not the hospital

I shouldn’t have mentioned the hospital

I don’t think I can take this much longer

In the dream I don’t tell anyone, you put your head in my lap. Let’s say you’re driving down the road with your eyes closed

But my eyes are also closed

You’re by the side of the road

You’re by the side of the road and you’re doing all the talking

While I stare at my shoes. They’re nice shoes, brown and comfortable, and I like your voice

In the dream I don’t tell anyone, I’m afraid to wake you up

In these dreams it’s always you:

The boy in the sweatshirt

The boy on the bridge, the boy who always keeps me

From jumping off the bridge

Oh, the things we invent when we are scared and want to be rescued

Your jeep. Your teeth. The coffee that you bought me. The sandwich cut in half on the plate

I woke up and ate ice cream in the dark

Hunched over on the wooden chair in the kitchen

Listening to the rain

I borrowed your shoes and didn’t put them away

You were crying and eating rice

The surface of the water was still and bright

Your feet were burning so I put my hands on them, but my hands

Were burning too

You had a bottle of pills but I wouldn’t let you swallow them. You said Will you love me even more when Im dead?

And I said No, and I threw the pills on the sand

Look at them, you said. They look like emeralds

I put you in the cage with the ocelots. I was trying to fatten you up

With sausage and bacon

Somehow you escaped and climbed up the branches of a pear tree. I chopped it down but there was no one in it

I went to the riverbed to wait for you to show up. You didn't show up

I kept waiting

"In the dream I don't tell anyone, you put your head in my lap."

Hello Tumblr!

Hello to all the brainiacs out there! This blog is going to be the corner where I share all my hobbies. Reading books, comics, writing stuff, watching cool shows. And by cool, I mean sci-fi and adventures.

(I'm sorry, I can't stand romance and drama!😂)

Fan blog- @thenerdyolive

Hobbies blog- @nerd-goes-blogging

-my stuff-

#Writing things, as blogging is basically writing whatever the hell you want to XD

#Reading. The types of books i'm into include adventure, sci-fi, non-fiction, feel-good fiction and comedy. Comics are a huge part of me (Tintin). My most fav authors are Ruskin Bond, Sudha Murthy, R.K Narayana and, of course, Hergé. So you'd find many book reviews as well around here :)

#Watching the cool shows 😎

Let me introduce you to

-my fan-universe-

(the things I'm a fan of) (not my fans) (haven't reached there -_-)

#The Adventures of Tintin. I LOVE TINTIN. That's enough. My fan story here.

#Ducktales. I mean, a scottish duck who's over 100 years old and the richest duck in the world AND AN ADVENTURER. Now that's interesting!

#Doctor who. I'm a Nuwho fan! Last year's 14th doctor's Christmas Specials and the 15th doctor's new series are the first ones I've watched completely. It's MIND BLOWING! Also I love David Tennant! The 10th/14th doctor is the coolest. You know how I discovered this show? You know who Scrooge McDuck is? Shhh, spoilers! My fan story here.

#Star wars. All I can say is May the force be with us (btw, just begun with the trilogies, I love it, amazing films)

That's it, my introduction blog! More coming up in the following posts. Stay tuned!

Take care and stay nerdy!✨🧑🏻‍🎓

Hello

Do you have recommendations for collection of short stories?

Yes, here are few I've enjoyed:

Landour Bazaar by Ruskin Bond: all stories from, set in, and inspired by his time in Landour near Mussoorie. They're so lovely and so kind

Also, while we're on Ruskin Bond: Time Stops at Shamli, The Night Train at Deoli, and Season of Ghosts

Dark Satellites by Clemens Meyer: about people living on the margins in Germany, particularly in what used to be East Germany

The Dangers of Smoking Bed by Mariana Enriquez: spooky, gothic horror from Argentina. All stories are set in Buenos Aires, all are centered on women, and all of them definitely are creepy

No Presents Please by Jayant Kaikini: fiction on living in Mumbai, especially what the migrant, working-class encounter with the city is like

Antarctica by Claire Keegan: her debut collection, and a good place to start with Keegan. The language is tight but so, so clinical, and the stories have so much to unpack

Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman: partly fantasy, partly gothic, partly urban legend, partly just funny. It's a really varied collection and one I had fun reading because of the expanse of it

In A Free State by V. S. Naipaul: about colonial and postcolonial exiles and migrants; what rootlessness does or means on a daily basis; very moving

Hello guys!! I am writing this as an intro post. First of all, thanks to everyone for your comments and encouragement in the story 'A Job Well Done' and poem 'Death' I posted a while ago. I will try to bring better stories and improve on points that you all pointed out.

So....... I am Aurora (pen name) and am currently 16 years old. Yeah, I am still studying in school but as a hobby, I write time to time. So, I may appear with a story once in a while and then disappear for a looong time during exams or due to study pressure. English is not my first language. So, pardon my spelling and grammatical mistakes.

I don't really have a favorite genre since I read anything that comes in my way. Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Ruskin Bond, Secret Seven, Famous Five, etc. are some of my favourite reads and also I am a Potter Head (I have read all of the books in the series!). Other than these I read a mixture of tales from different authors from genres horror, comedy, sci - fic, etc.

I usually weave my stories from ideas I obtain from books, movies, day to day activities and even from my strange dreams and nightmares. Sometimes I may add some details that may be inaccurate and completely wrong. So, bear those mistakes cause I am unknown to those facts and need to read about it online or even invent those details to match the plot. Also, most of my stories may not fall in a specific genre since I usually write freestyle without fixing the genre.

Hope I can entertain you all with my stories. And I request for comments and even critiques, along with all your love and encouragement.

Thank you for your support!

-Aurora

#of Siblings And Fun Facts About Them(if u have any): one (1) younger gremlin brother, and the funnest fact abt them is that he has been a walking directory of telephone no's since he was 4 and now can be relied upon to calculate large numbers inside his head in point seconds. Still hates physics(and most things theory)> by which, he also stores insane and inane amount of stats info (abt all types of things, but mostly sports) inside his head ready to be flourished at a moments notice, which is mildly impressive when ur 6 and debating with college students the scores of a game that happened 15yrs before u were born but not now when ur 17 and ppl are more focused on your test scores rather than ones u know, so</3 also has his birthday on changbin's but he doesnt know abt that

#of Pets: there's a history there. with fishes that my ma deceived me with on my 12th birthday(when i asked for a pet, i imagined smth i could hold) and then liked too much herself that we had them for 5yrs. three times; birds, but my brother kind of freed them while singing a lullaby with only me as an unbelieving witness. a dog (belovedest of em all) my dad picked from street as a puppy and who, then, had to be given away after 3yrs bcs of Stupid Reasons im still mad abt. now i just have street cats showing up at my front door to safekeep their babies on my staircase's isolated nooks till they grow up and vanish and street dogs who believe i have endless supplies of treats and show me sad faces when i dont. i really want a pet</3 but for now im contending with pictures of kitties whose moms operate on strict 'see-dont-touch' policies and sweet sweet strays who like to befriend u too easy.

Fandoms: many, but rn im active mostly in skz and mxtx. id love to be in other stuff i read and watch but since Capitalism hates me dearly,,,

Favorite Holiday: none of the above its the trips and getaways u make for yourself. all my beloved memories are always mostly from when our family makes a trip to someplace my mom insists or there's a non-worrying emergency to go somewhere. just family getting together under some pretense, even tho it is stressful as fuck.

Do You Have Any Partner(s): persuading my best friend atm but sadly she's straight</3(no lmao)

Fun facts about you/anything extra you wanna share!: since im having it rn- coffee doesnt keep me up or sometimes even makes me nod off, a fact i discovered after my 14yr old brain had the brilliant idea to try out the cool, forbidden drink after dinner knowing i wasnt allowed to. this is not fun to my ma but growing up in a sort of restrictive household, im also just weirdly good at sneaking and doing stuff im not supposed to without getting caught. i also do not know how to talk in lesser words. this is an absolute curse, yes i have tried. beware</3

Welcome to my blog

Hello, visitor! Nice to meet you! I am known as Kali. You can use any pronouns except for he/him when you refer to me.

I had been on Tumblr a few years ago, but decided I wanted to return to the communities where I learnt how to write. So, let's get to a little introduction, shall we?

Random facts:

I'm a huge nerd. I read literally anything I can get my hands on— novels, encyclopedias, poetry books, textbooks, magazines, short stories etc. In contrast, I absolutely loathe studying.

The name Kali is the name of a goddess in Hindu mythology— she represents anger, war, destruction and change, the Ultimate Power, and feminine strength.

I am obsessed with aesthetics, music, literature, flowers, Indian jewellery, history, fashion, astronomy, arts, the sciences, mathematics and photography.

A few of my favourite authors are Jane Austen, Sudha Murthy, Amish, R.K. Narayan, Ruskin Bond and the Brontë sisters.

Fandoms I am a part of:

Harry Potter (Trio, Marauders as well as Next Gen. I'm not picky)

Percy Jackson

Jane Austen

BTS (yes, the k-pop group)

Taylor Swift

Billie Eilish

Armaan Malik and many more

Thank you for reading to the end! If you follow me, I'm happy to have you on my blog! If not, eh, still glad to have you here.
