He wrote one of his first short stories, “Untouchable”, at the age of sixteen in 1951. Ruskin Bond said that while his autobiographical work, Rain in the Mountains, was about his years spent in Mussoorie, Scenes from a Writer’s Life described his first 21 years. Scenes from a Writer’s Life focuses on Bond’s trip to England, his struggle to find a publisher for his first book The Room on the Roof and his yearning to come back to India, particularly to Doon. “It also tells a lot about my parents”, said Bond. “The book ends with the publication of my first novel and my decision to make writing my livelihood”, Bond said, adding: “Basically, it describes how I became a writer”.

Later, he tried out non-fiction, romance and books for children.

For an essay or travelogue, such planning is not needed for him. He feels the unexpected there makes it more exciting.
