Opinions about this book :-

I am indebted to Som Ranchan for helping me to take a closer look at myself both as man and as writer. Although his study is a learned and serious work, it is also very readable, as he succeeds in getting to the Bhava, the deep flow from the soul, which he discerns in my work.

- Ruskin Bond

Som Ranchan is an unusual combination of rigorous scholarship, high academic standards, critical vision and exacting authorship. His tastes are catholic; his sympathies wide ranging. He is comfortable in the company of Yeats, Sri Aurobindo, Shakespeare, Eliot, Whitman, and now Ruskin Bond. His insights are amazing and emanate from an inner energy.

I am delighted to welcome this book Bonding with Bond on Ruskin Bond, my contemporary in Bishop Cotton School, Shimla. He was an all-rounder, though studious and a lover of books. Ruskin was the goal keeper in our Ibbotson House football team where I was right back. With his interdisciplinary abilities in metaphysics, psychology, spirituality and literature Som Ranchan has captured Ruskin Bond as a man and writer and hit the bull's eye, as acknowledged by Bond himself.
