Its the same thing that one gets when reading Sudha Murty everytime. Not the best from her non fiction, but the real experiences makes us think.For Sudhamurty fans a must read , for others go for her other works like - Wise or otherwise , Old man and his god etc.Sudha Murthy is a social worker and a writer. I read her book, The day I stopped drinking milk. This book is about her life experiences. There is a proverb, A wise man learns from the mistakes of others, the fool has to learn from his own. What I learned from this book is that the world has become a place of personal gain and selfishness. Sudha Murthy recounts two of her experiences in which she helped two youngsters complete their education by providing monetary aid. After these two people
The day I stopped drinking milk is a collection of short stories by Sudha Murty. Much like the woman herself, her stories are simple and tugs at the heart strings you don't know you have. She writes about simple everyday incidents about ordinary people that she's come across in her life and somehow still manages to make the stories larger than life. The language is simple and easy to understand and it feels more like watching a movie inside your own head in HD. I love reading her books mostly
Another gem of a work by the author. There are a few incidences that change our perception towards life for the good. Such was an incident that led the author to stop drinking milk. A very much relatable account of our everyday life.
This was one of the most simple and elegant books I have read in a long time.A very simple prose but highly effective and gripping. No use of complex word and grammar. Simplicity of this book touched my heart.Sudha Murty is always been my favourite author, however I have read her books in Gujarati translation and have always been close to my heart.The title of this book can be misleading, the fact is, The day I stopped drinking milk is one of the story in this book along with some others.
Absolutely LOVED this book. Sudha Murthy's work is admirable because she's so disarmingly honest. Most social workers (especially people who donate on such a large scale) are guilty of being extremely proud of their work and their contribution, so much so that they feel the world revolves around their own humanitarian tendencies to the exclusion of all else. But here is someone who is so qualified, doing such good work and doing it very matter-of-factly with a quiet kind of confidence and
