PROMPT: News & Life
Daily writing prompt
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.
It is by no means uninteresting, nor did it require “scouring” (though it probably would have if I was in the US,) but Bangladesh is imploding (PM ouster, protests turn violent, all exacerbated by flooding, etc.,) and we were planning to visit later this year. So, much for that trip.

BOOKS: “Road to Mussoorie” by Ruskin Bond
Roads to Mussoorie by Ruskin BondMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Publisher’s Site
This is a collection of essays about Bond’s home of many years, Mussoorie, along with — as the title suggests — the areas one comes through traveling to – and hiking out of – Mussoorie. The book ventures from a straight up travelogue into ghost stories, local gossip, autobiography, and municipal history. It enlightens the reader on the White Woman of Mussoorie, on the death of its cinema, and on the town’s historical involvement in colonial licentiousness.
I enjoyed this short book. It’s humorous and offers one a feel of hill station India.
