Three Thousand Stitches - Sudha Murthy

Courtesy

Sudha Murthy writes some experiences from her long life in the form of simple stories. Each of these stories has a place in her heart. some are of her childhood, some of her parents, and some are stories that were passed down. She has beautifully shown what each of these incidents mean to her and how they have shaped her. Whether it is her job at Infosys, duty as a mother, or the impact she has made as a social worker, each segment fits in the story to make the collection complete as a whole. From children to adults, everyone can try reading this. Some people might not like her style and say it's too preachy, but I love it. The language is very simple and although it is non-fiction, all of the stories are as interesting and entertaining as a fiction novel. Beginners can give this a go too as the chapters aren't necessarily dependent on each other, so it is a small commitment.
