A Bouquet Of Love

Ruskin Bond . Rupa Publications India . English

�Somewhere in life There must be someone To take your hand And share the torrid day. Without the touch of love There is no life and we must fade away.� Love is not only romantic, it can have many shades�two friends reconnecting after years; a lonely, young man in a foreign city with a new-found friend and his extended family; a schoolboy befriended by an affectionate stranger while waiting alone at a railway platform; a beautiful village girl whose charms a city boy can�t resist; two strangers who strike up a conversation on a train journey... Written in a simple but poignant style, A Bouquet of Love is about romance and friendships, bondings developed out of shared experiences or sometimes simply happenstance! Featuring timeless classics such as �The Eyes Have It�, �Time Stops at Shamli�, �Binya Passes By�, �Love Is a Sad Song� and many others, this is a collection of Ruskin Bond�s novellas and short stories that explores the infinite spectrum of love with great sensitivity.
