No need to tell anything about Sudha Murty, particularly to IIScians. If you don't know, you should know. This book is about her experiences and observations about life while interacting with different people she came across. This may interest people who try to see and understand perspective of different persons towards life. The best part what I liked is, few chapters of the book present point of view of some very unique persons which you and me would have never known otherwise. For e.g. Tribes persons in Orissa who still think Queen Victoria rules India, How Gujarat Earth Quake helped Beggars of Mumbai settling down etc.
Few Random quotes from it:
---------------------------------------------
- Have our lives become so busy that grief has become proportionate to the usefulness of the loved one we have lost ?
- Isn't it sad that in a society where Durga is worshipped and women are called Shakthi, our sisters are burned like brinjals without any mercy ?
- In life nothing can be equated with health. Good health is the greatest asset. Money can buy medicine and comfort, but not happiness.
