Everyone in Pipalnagar wants to leave.
Dreams are dusty. Hopes flicker. And yet, somehow, people stay.

In Delhi Is Not Far, Ruskin Bond gives us a raw, honest look at small-town India — the kind that doesn’t make headlines, but lingers in the soul. This isn’t a love letter to Delhi. It’s a story about those who long to get there.

At the center is Arun, a struggling pulp fiction writer. His dream? To escape the sleepy town of Pipalnagar and make it big in the big city. But as the pages turn, you’ll meet a drunk poet, a half-blind prostitute, a cynical journalist, and a cast of outcasts that are beautifully flawed and painfully real.

Bond’s magic is subtle. He doesn’t shout. He observes. He listens. And he writes characters who ache, love, fail, and still keep hoping.

This is not your typical hero's journey. No big drama. No action-packed chase. Just life — and the quiet fight to live it meaningfully.

For anyone who’s ever felt stuck in a place, stuck in a life, or caught between a dream and duty — this book is your mirror. It tells you, “It’s okay. Delhi is not far.”
