Bond and Moraes

Spent saturday reading Ruskin Bond. Delightful.

Reminded me of Dom Moraes. Two poets/authors from somewhat similar background, (I mean it a bit loosely of course), the reasons, choices, heartaches that went behind their decisions, forced or otherwise to make India their home was of particular interest to me. Dom Moraes's bitterness and sorrow due to this decision flows through his writings in contrast to Ruskin Bond's almost idyllic words.

Home is where heart is?
