Publisher's Summary
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 windowsill 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 hours, 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.

Simple and Elegant...
Amazing experience. The book is written in such a simplistic and descriptive manner that every word comes in front of your eyes.. and it opens up the world showing the minute pleasures in the world... Must read for those rainy days when you just want to sit and watch it rain...

👍
A book of Simple Living.
Simple writing and that's what makes this book awesome!
I have probably book marked almost all pages in this book. Every page calms the mind. But then it's not a self help book, but still when one reads it, it just soothens the mind. It's as calming as meditation.
I would go back and re-read this multiple times as and when i feel like.
A 5 star from my side 😊

Pure bliss
There is a strange sense of peace embedded in every sentence of this book. The structure is deceivingy simple but the level of wisdom required to write something like this requires several life times. It was a most beautiful experience listening to this book. Thanks a lot. Will cherish it for a long long time.

Refreshingly Simple yet Effective.
It reminded me of my childhood days that were spent being close to nature.

Simply Unmissable
Recommended for all who desire to love life all over again. Ruskin points out the path to take...
The Audible version is even more pleasurable with the Narrator's soothing voice.
Simply Loved It!
