‘I’ve come to see you,’ she said.
‘For a long, long time, I hope.’ And I took her by the hand and led her into my home, my garden of books.
And that was how Kiran came into my life. […] If you meet her, she will tell you about the garden of dreams…perhaps she will take you there some day, for she is a girl who can make dreams come true.
In a world that treasures ‘being realistic’ more than daydreaming, we sometimes forget that the only way to aim higher is to daydream a little—how do we have ambition without a little hope? It is at times like this when we should remember the desires of your youth. How we dreamed bigger than we could afford to; how we leapt and then thought of the fall.
In Garden of Dreams , Ruskin Bond brings together stories and personal essays that talk of such youthful exuberance. He talks of love and its effect on a tired soul; of friends that become your anchors through stormy days, of romance kindled over chocolates; and many such tales that rekindle our zest for life. This book is for all those who dare to be a little naïve in this sombre world.
