Shimla, May 11

The students of Bishop Cotton School (BCS) at Shimla recently met the noted author and a school alumnus, Ruskin Bond, at his Mussoorie residence ahead of his 89th birthday.

Reminiscing his time at BCS, Bond said, “I owe a lot to the school. This is where I wrote my first short story and my love for books began. The school inculcates good manners and grooms a boy to be polite. This secret weapon has got me far in life.”

Born on May 19, 1934, the famed author attended the boarding school for eight years from 1943 to 1950. His books are filled with stories from his school days.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
