"Confidence doesn't mean that everything will go our way. It simply gives us the ability to accept failures that we will inevitably meet on our path and move forward with hope"
What does it mean to struggle? Has any instance in life gone by without one? People often say, struggle for so-and-so period of time and you'll be happy for the rest of your life. It took me a long time to know that this is a cold-faced lie. Life is filled with struggles; it only matters who you face it with and why you do so.
'Three Thousand Stitches' is a short story collection, with stories from various phases of the author's life. From facing sexism on her first day of college to becoming one of the most influential people in the country, Sudha Murthy's journey is one that puts our life into perspective and rediscover our purpose and passion. In the first story, 'Three Thousand Stitches', the author talks about how she, a person with a modernist mindset had to change her appearance and attitude while consorting with Devadasis to eventually change their lives and that of their children's. Towards the end of the story, they gifted her a saree made by hand with three thousand stitches. The author's wordplay definitely makes an impact here and the significance of the title of every story that follows this is seen as the reader progresses through the pages of the book.
Complete and full of love, reading this book felt like a warm hug from a mother. Sudha Murthy's words can be considered as a list of life-advices a mother would tell her daughter or son, through her life experiences and struggles which she would not want us to endure. For all those missing home, this book is definitely for you and thank me later
