description: This much I can tell you writes Ruskin Bond in his introduction to this journal for all its hardships and complications life is simple. Drawing upon a lifetimes experience in the hills and small towns of north India he records the many small moments that constitute a life of harmonywith the self the natural world and friends family and passersby. In these pages we watch a wild plum blossom and the moon come up between two deodar trees; we hear a redstart whistle and the rain drum on a tin roof; we recognize the ache of losing love and the consolation of old companions. A Book of Simple Living is a gift of beauty and wisdom from Indias most loved and most understated writer.
