Delhi is not far by Ruskin Bond

The citizens of Pipalnagar, a dull and dusty small city, wish to sooner or later depart the back of their humdrum lives for the thrills of Delhi. Deep Chand, the barber, goals of giving the prime minister a haircut;

Pitamber desires to journey an autorickshaw in place of pulling a cycle rickshaw; and Aziz can be glad about a junk store in Chandni Chowk. Sharing their desires to get away is the narrator Arun, a struggling detective fiction writer.

As he waits for thought to put into writing a blockbuster, he seeks and discovers love in uncommon places-with the younger prostitute Kamla, smart past her years, and the orphan and epileptic

Suraj, highly constructive despite his tough circumstances. In Delhi Is Not Far, one every of his maximum enduring novels, Ruskin Bond sketches a transferring portrait of small-city India with feature sympathy and quiet wisdom.
