So so SO glad I own this book! 💙 A perfect amalgamation of nature stories, suited to this monsoon season. I would pick this book any day during this season and just get lost in the music played by crickets, drown in the beauty of wild flowers, and in the memories of a walnut tree which was one of the best companions of Ruskin Bond and which was harshly cut down to make way for new roads to a factory.

One day, am going to pick this book up again, sit near by my closed window listening to the thick beads of rain droplets hitting the window pane making that beautiful, peaceful music as I read along. 💙⛈☂
