Sudha Murty being an author, teacher and a social worker comes across with many people with different way of thinking and unique mindsets.

Sudha Murthy has also authored The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk, Gently Falls the Bakula, Wise and Otherwise, and Old Man and His God. The laughter in this book will keep you entertained, and the author's life teachings are an added bonus.Who won’t admire Mrs Sudha Murty’s philosophies and her relentless devotion to her philanthropic activities? My favourite stories were - The Red Rice Granary, A Wedding In Russia, A Story of Two Doctors, Dead Man’s Riddle, Doing What You Like Is Freedom and ‘A’ For Honesty.

When Sudha Murthy comes back, she tells her about her despair and expresses her strong desire to learn and read on her own. She has been awarded the Raja-Lakshmi Award, and the Padma Shri award for her contribution in the spheres of social work, charity and philanthropy.Each story has a liberal dose of morality about it and she deftly makes it an inalienable part of the story.

A very delicate and beautifully written book, you feel how honest and truthful it is, and that it comes from the heart of the author.

There are many gripping stories about Sudha Murty's students, children as well as stories across India. There is great simplicity in the lessons she tries to impart, they are those of the importance of education, honesty, perseverance, kindness, Independence and include incidents that moved her or made her think. I picked up this book, just for a break from usual reading , as short stories is something that i like to switch over to at times.
