For Ruskin Bond mountains are an integral part of his being. He writes about the hills, mountains and rivers which continue to influence him as they have been home to him for more than fifty years. Be it his schooling in the hills of Shimla or his home in Mussoorie, the mountains have always had a special place in his affections. He grew up amongst those great blue and brown mountains. He says that anybody once lived with the mountains for any length of time then they belonged to the mountains. There is no escape. Ruskin’s poems are nature centric in which writer expresses his thoughts and expressions, through the objects of nature. Mountains are his sole passion and through his stories, he articulated his first love. The Garhwal Himalayas find a special place in all his writings.
