I wish you all the very, very best. May your 90th birthday be wonderful. May all the years to follow be even better than all the years that have gone before. And God bless. May you and your writings go on forever. My name is Deepthi Menon and I live in Trishur, Kerala where again you have many, many, many admirers. So once again many, many happy returns of the day."

You are not only my favourite author, but also my inspiration. You have given me hope when I thought everything was lost. From childhood I have looked up to you and hoped I could be like you, even a little bit. Dear sir, you have shown me how beautiful can the world be. I will forever be grateful, sir, that you change my life for the better. And pray that you keep celebrating many more birthdays like this."

And I immediately wanted to know that. Who are your favorite authors? I hunted down for these books and I found the gems of Frank Smythe, Rummer, Gordon and John Lang. And as I read their books, I became aware about the contribution of these authors in indian english literature and indian history."

And when I started reading about Rusty, I realized that there is a world that I can get lost into. And I was introduced to reading."
