When the Indian students in Australia were subjected to attack,people once again started thinking about going back home were they are safe.In normal situations itself,people who start live abroad get some kind of guilty feeling that they left their motherland.We were always being remind of our roots.But can one feel a sense of belongingness to a place just because one's forefathers lived there?
Whenever thinking about this situation,Ruskin Bond is there giving a beautiful answer to the problem.This Welshman fully belong to Mussoorie and he understand Indian soul much better than many Indians.So if we think of roots,where will we place him?He, through his amazingly simple literary works reminds us that you belong to the place where you feel at home.He recently celebrated his 75th birthday and still writing beautifully about the India he loves.
You are a product of your experiences and feelings.So your roots are your comfort zone, not necessary be your place of birth.So people who feel fine abroad need not come back to SWADES just because they are persons of Indian origin.After all "Yatra viswam Bhavatyeka Needam"(the world is a big nest) and you have to bond with the best suitable environment for you like Ruskin Bond.
Long live BOND.............
LET THERE BE LIGHT
