In today's fast-paced and materialistic world, the cherished memories of our childhood days have faded away. Our minds are occupied by technology, and we have become engrossed in the job market, much like a tree overshadowing the woods. As a result, we are unable to spare a little time and appreciate the nature’s charm around us. Ironically, some people compensate for this disconnection by using nature wallpapers on their computers, attempting to bring a semblance of nature into their virtual lives. However, amidst this disconnection from nature, our planet, Mother Earth, is facing severe ecological imbalances. The alarming consequences of deforestation, pollution, and other injustices inflicted upon nature have become apparent. Fortunately, a few environmentalists are ready to lead a revolution, fighting against these destructive practices. Notably, even literary writers have joined the cause, recognizing the importance of raising awareness about environmental concerns through their works. Literature, being a mirror of society, holds significant power in conveying the urgency and importance of environmental awareness. Through their writings, authors inspire readers to rediscover their love for nature and recognize the pressing issues of our time. They create narratives that reflect the current state of our environment, serving as a call to action for individuals from all walks of life. Ruskin Bond, one of the most prominent literary figures, holds a deep admiration for nature in his writings. Through his words, he invites readers to rekindle their love for the natural world and cultivate a sense of appreciation for its beauty. Works of Bond can be scrutinized with the lens of ecologist as well as common people . He provides a gateway for people to understand the importance of ecology, encouraging them to take part in preserving and nurturing our environment.
