The almost-month-long Ruskin Bond Festival came to a joyous end. There were numerous highlights on the last day, so without much ado, let's go!
The session kicked off with a surprise when Ruskin Bond spoke!

Dr Seema Raizada, Dr Amita Singh & Ruchi Goyal spoke about their experiences with the festival - with organising, managing & speaking. They also mentioned that it had a special place in their heart since it was the first festival they had conducted specially for children.
Following that, we had Rushank Goyal sharing a few funny dialogues from Ruskin Bond's books (this also happened in the 2nd session, if you've been following us carefully).
Many other members also shared their favourite prose and poetry from Rusty's books.

Team B won 70-40, with Perks handed out to all participants. (For those of you not in the know, Perks are a brand of chocolates in India.)

The winners of the creative writing competition received an additional certificate and a book. They were, in order of their rank -
