How I Taught My Grandmother to Read and Other Stories by Sudha Murty

5.0

How I taught my grandmother to read was a short read with inspiring anecdotes from Sudha Murthy's life. Her stories depict that great values and principles should be above any fame/ money/ success you achieve in life. It was inspiring to read about her successful career trajectory and the people who made that possible.
I have immense respect for how she established herself as a woman years ahead of her time. Despite being born when women were not encouraged to follow their dreams, she forged her path while continuously impacting lives around her. My respect and gratitude have also increased for the foundation Sudha and Narayan Murthy has established by providing employment opportunities for millions of Indians.


Gratitude is one of the highest form of education. When climbing a ladder it is very easy to kick those below, but one must not forget that you cannot stay at the top forever. The higher you, the longer the fall is.
