Dr Kisholoy Roy pays a tribute to Ruskin Bond’s writing
THE ROOM ON THE ROOF
Seasons come and go.
Years come and go.
People come and go.
A creator metamorphoses.
The Room on the Roof stands witness.
Scores of characters transpired
on the myriads of pages.
The typewriter keeps talking.
An author’s creativity realised.
The Room on the Roof stands witness.
Grandfather, grandmother and the Maharani.
Susanna, Binya, Rusty and Ranji.
The Woman on Platform No.8 and
The Girl from Copenhagen.
Endearing characters, unforgettable stories.
The Room on the Roof stands witness.
The Angry River and The Hidden Pool.
The Cherry Tree and The Lagoon.
Rain in the Mountains and
The Prospect of Flowers.
Keeps an author engaged and moving.
The Room on the Roof stands witness.
Ostrich, parakeets, cats and mongrels.
Snake, crocodiles, leopards and tigers.
They all had tales to tell.
With the readers,
they went down well.
The Room on the Roof stands witness.
Accolades here and there.
Aficionados everywhere.
Characters, stories and books roll in.
One finds this Lone Fox Dancing.
The Room on the Roof stands witness.
