- It was the first Sudha Murty book I had ever read. And it was an amazing experience.
- I loved her writing style which is simple english even 10 year old children also understand her books.
- This book has 11 stories in it. Out of 11 stories, I like "Three Thousand Stitches", "How to Beat the Boys", "Food for Thought", "Three Handfuls of Water", "A Life Unwritten", "I Can’t, We Can".
- These stories teaches me that **be kind to others, be helpful to others if you can, be bold, enjoy every moment of life, respect elders belief system even though you don’t believe them, be grateful, and don’t addict to anything**.
- My most favourite stories among them are “Three Thousand Stitches”, “How to Beat the Boys”, “A Life Unwritten”.

Three thousand stitches.

"I can give you many examples of people who may not have studied much but have done well for themselves because they believed they could." - Sudha Murty.

I remember reading Wise and Otherwise last year and thinking how humble Sudha Murty truly is. Three thousand stitches caught my eye soon after that and I finsihed reading it in a single day. A collection of 11 short stories that revolve around Sudha Murty's life, this book is like a breath of fresh air. The stories are simple which is expected considering how the author herself doesn't like anything extravagant. But it's often the simplest stories that create an impact on the readers.

There are many reasons why I liked this book. It might have something to do with the reality of it or perhaps due to the humbleness of the stories. The author writes about her experiences which range from her college days to the days of her being The Chairman of Infosys foundation. She sets examples with each story about how one should not give up during tough times or the teaching that you should not let money rule your heart. Her stories are sweet, practical and extremely relatable. We often judge people by the clothes that they wear or language that they speak while we shouldn't be carrying out such inconsiderate acts. This book is an inspiring and motivational read. It strikes a chord with those who really want to implement changes in their lives and what better way to do it than by listening to one of the kindest and grounded person in the World.

A beautiful read to clear your head and count your blessings.

Simple, elegant and impactful are the three words I would use to describe for this book.

"One of life's goals is the ability to understand human nature..."
This book is a set of anecdotes from the life of Ms. Sudha Murty through which she tries to impart some important life lessons. Coming from a humble background, she definitely manages to strike a chord or two as the stories are so relatable.

The simple language and lucid storytelling makes this a great book for beginners.

I have always found listening to Ms. Murty's speeches a source of inspiration and the experience while reading the book was no different. So, I will not only recommend reading this book but also reading about her or listening to her through any platform.
