Old writers never die, they simply go out of print, India’s favourite children’s author, Ruskin Bond quips. The celebrity writer turns 90 on Sunday. Bond now resides at Ivy Cottage in the quiet cantonment town of Landour, a short drive from the Mussoorie, spending most of his time reading either books or newspapers.
“Ninety-nine per cent of writers are forgotten in the long run. We are writing for posterity but nobody remembers us afterwards... I am happy if my family remembers me and a few readers get some pleasure out of my writing but it is very easy for a writer to disappear, to go out of print” Bond told the media.
