22. What is the author's view towards his own life?
23. According to the passage, after the beer guzzling
young men vacated their room, the housekeeper was
shocked by:
24. Why does the author choose to stay in Mussourie?
25. What has been the author doing for the most of his
adult life?
26. What does the author want to imply by saying "Not
everything falls into place".
The first arrival on being introduced, asked me if I was the owner of the
hotel. The second arrival shook my hand vigorously, then proclaimed. "Yes,
of course, I've read your book-No full stops in India."
"That was Mark Tully", I said, "He smokes a pipe."
The third or fourth arrival got it right, but spoilt it all by asking, "Do you
still write, Mr. Bond?"
This is like asking a chef if he still makes soup, or a cobbler if he can repair
a shoe. I couldn't be bothered answering his question, but a little boy came
to my rescue by asking me to sign my latest book. Nevertheless, the
question lingers and sometimes I ask myself: Did I find my dream-the
dream of 45 years ago? Do I remember that dream? Most of it, I do believe.
To live independently as a fulltime writer, that was part of the dream. And I
have done that for most of my adult life. No riches, no houses, no cars, no
computers. But independence, certainly.
To live in the place of my choice. While I was away in Delhi in the
early 1960s, I decided I was going to live in the hills and work
from there. Just as, five years earlier, I had decided that my home
was India and not England.
Mussoorie may not have been the perfect choice (there are places
more lovely), but in many ways, it has suited me. I'm near the
Doon (familiar territory), not too far from Delhi (and my
publishers), and just a short walk into the solitude of the
mountains. I have lived with the family and companions of my
choice-Prem and his children and grandchildren, and many good
people on the hillside who have been generous to me over the
years.
And have I won the time for leisure, books, nature, love and friendship?
Yes, most of these things, for some of the time. Not everything falls
neatly into place. How can it? But I think I've done most of what I set out
to do. I could have done it a little better, and perhaps there's time to do
more. My faults and limitations are many, but I've always accepted that
I'm a most imperfect specimen of humanity, which means I've always
been on friendly terms with myself! And yes, Sir, I'm still doing my thing-
cobbling shoes, making a tolerable soup, and recording my life and the
life around me to the best of my ability. Talking of hotels-most of them,
big or small, have one thing in common: the occasional guest who makes
off with the linen, the cutlery, and sometime, even a TV set. Nandu (of
the Savoy) tells of how one customer drove off with a mattress rolled up
on the luggage rack.
When the manager realized what had happened, he phoned the
police at the toll-barrier, and they stopped the car and took
possession of the mattress. The owner of the car promptly
blamed his driver for the theft, but the driver responded- "Sir, you
asked me to pick up two mattresses, and now you are blaming me
for stealing one!“
Of course there are some tourists who leave their belongings
behind; or if not their belongings, their fellow- travelers. The day
after a group of jolly, beer-guzzling young men vacated their
room, the housekeeper opened a cupboard to have a dead body
tumble out on top of her. In a different hotel, a box-bed was found
stuffed with a decaying corpse. Both cases went unsolved.
Equally enterprising were the young men from Haryana who
stabbed to death one of their companions and left the body in the
Landour cemetery. But these gentlemen left so many clues behind
that they were caught a few days later. Hill-stations are, by and
large, peaceful places, but just occasionally, crime rears its ugly
head and an old lady is found strangled in her bed or a failed
businessman is found hanging in the bathroom. We won't dwell
on these tragedies but think instead of the thousands who come
here in high spirits and go away in even better spirits-the
combination of clean mountain air, breath-taking scenery, and,
just occasionally, spirits of the bottled variety having done
wonders for their outlook on life.
To me, flowers are the most sensual of living things, or perhaps,
it's just that the appeal to the sensuality of my own nature. A
rose in bud, the heady scent of jasmine, the unfolding of a lily, the
flaunting colour of dahlias and giant marigolds, the seductive
fragrance of the honeysuckle, all these excite and entice me.
A wild species of geranium (the round-leaved cransebill, to give
its English name) with a tiny lilac flower, has responded to my
overtures, making a great display in a tub where I encouraged it
to spread. Never one to spurn a gesture of friendship, I have given
it the freedom of the shady back verandah. Let it be my flower of
the month, this rainy August.
