Tirupati Publisher's Lifelong Love for Ruskin Bond

Tirupati Publisher's Lifelong Love for Ruskin Bond

There's a special publisher named Tirupati Kiran from Tirupati, India, who loves Ruskin Bond's stories very much.

When he was a little boy, he used to read Bond's books in the school library and even wrote his own stories.

Now, he runs a small publishing house called Kathaaprapancham Books.

He translates Bond's books into different languages like Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil so that more people can enjoy them.

He also visits schools to tell stories to children and plans to start a mobile library to take books to different places.

Kiran and Ruskin Bond even share the same birthday, which makes him feel even more connected to the author.

He has translated many of Bond's famous books and even received a video message from Bond himself, which made him very happy.

Kiran's love for Bond's books has inspired him to share that joy with others.
