“Happiness
is an elusive thing, to be found somewhere between too little and too
much”-Ruskin Bond
It’s a Wonderful Life is a delightful book with a promise to
give us happiness as it leads us through the ‘Roads to Happiness’.
Bond leads us through the small alleys and pathways of life
through which we must pass to have a cheerful life.
With an attractive cover design, the book provides us with joy
right from the first step.
Confessing that he loves omelettes, Bond invites us to-
“..try this literary omelette of mine-essays and journal
extracts beaten up with skits, sketches, reflections, memories, and words of
wit if not of wisdom.”
Bond muses on the many small things that he cherishes, and
allows us to contemplate on the many small, unnoticed things which give
happiness to us and without which life seems incomplete.
A big bonus in this book is Bond’s lockdown journal complete
with his witty remarks telling us how Bond spent his lockdown, driving away all
the fears and distress with his resolve to stay happy always.
Charming, thoughtful, relaxing, and highly uplifting, this book
can be read whenever you are feeling low or want to read but don’t have enough
time.
An octogenarian saying ‘It’s a wonderful life’, strange isn’t
it?
Come on, let’s delve into this book and discover for ourselves
that ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ after all.
