Description

‘The world around me—be it the mountains or the busy street below my window—is teeming with subjects, sights, thoughts that I wish to put into words in order to catch the fleeting moment, the passing image, the laughter, the joy, and sometimes, the sorrow.’

Amid all the vagaries of life, joy is what tethers us, lending meaning to our existence. In the modern-day rat race, we often forget its value, prioritizing material goals over something that is as hard to obtain as lightning in a bottle. But is there a way to make life joyful even as we engage in the daily grind?

Secrets of a Joyful Life attempts to answer that question through its delightful and sweet stories. Take a breather as you immerse yourself in Ruskin Bond’s expressive and gentle prose, and see life through the eyes of the writer on the hill—sometimes slow, sometimes crazy, but always carrying in it pockets of joy.
