'Mist fills the Himalayan valleys, and monsoon rain sweeps across the hills.
Sometimes, during the day, a bird visits me-a deep purple whistling thrush.
She perches on the window sill, and looks out with me at the rain.
' This personal diary records the many small moments that constitute a life of harmony-with the self, the natural world, and friends, family and passersby.
In these pages, we watch a wild plum blossom and the moon come up between two deodar trees; we hear a redstart whistle and the rain drum on a tin roof; we recognize the aftermath of loss and the consolation of old companions.
'A Book of Simple Living' is a gift of beauty and wisdom from India's most loved, and most understated, writer.
