Mussoorie Across The Ages

Ganesh Saili has had a lifelong love affair with the Himalayas. For thirty years and more, he has researched and trekked the high mountains, capturing in words and film the awe-inspiring beauty of these regions. Numerous periodicals, journals, magazines, films, books and national awards are a testimony to this love for his roots. Settled in Mussoorie, he teaches English and American literature at the local post-graduate college.

In Mussoorie Across the Ages, Ganesh Saili weaves together the memories, personal recollections, and surprises that he and other travellers have encountered in this exquisite hill station. He brings together the stories and narratives by Fanny Parkers, Emily Eden and Fanny Eden, Andrew Wilson, and others who have seen the place evolve. He maps this incredible journey from khuds to roads, from ponies to cars, and from the sahibs to the babus in a fascinationg way. A quintessential free bird, he weaves a mesmerising tapestry in thoughts and words of the world of Mussoorie, what it is and what it has always been.
