Who wont admire Mrs Sudha Murtys philosophies and her relentless devotion to her philanthropic activities? After watching a couple of her videos, where she came across as a sincere person with good moral values, I was further keen on catching up with her writings and so decided to start with these short stories.To say, I loved the first one, How I Taught My Grandmother To Read would be an understatement. It was a heartwarming anecdote that beautifully portrayed the love between a grand-daughterRead long time back in gujarati edition. Wonderful book throwing light on importance of education. Grandma and her passion for learning is portrayed wonderfully.A heart touching and worth read.
More than writerly finesse or skill, it's the content of these short anecdotes and the intention behind them that strikes one as you rapidly read through this slim collection of stories from Sudha Murthy's life. The stories are about her teachers and her students, her friends and her family, her husband and her children, her early career as an engineer and her latter one as a teacher and social worker.

it is intresting -the small stories.I learned many things.....
It is a pretty small book. Only 133 pages. You can breeze through it, and finish it in a few hours, if you are of average speed. But I prefer to read it slower as each of the stories in this book have a lot of meaning and depth to it. So I could reflect on what I read. They have so much value to it, I could write a separate review on each of the stories written in here. Living in India this book may mean a lot to you. Because in this country of 1 billion people we have heard some stories from

Sudha Murthy's values glisten through the pages of these bokd. Humility, honesty, intelligence. It's a good casual read and brings back a lot of nostalgic memories of my childhood as well.
