These are just some of the poignant and eye-opening stories about people from all over the country that Sudha Murty recounts in this book.

Its all worth to have this , i would recommend this book as a must read for all. Such an enlightenment to soul, mind and questions!! Review: Extraordinary observation of ordinary lives - This is one of the finest book of short stories arising from day to day lives. Sudha Murthy has truly captured the essence from the everyday events, journey of life and rendered in simple language. After Khushwant Singh this is second author who has attempted to write it in a simple but lucid language which is easy to read and leaves impact on a reader. Every story has a message and moral. I look forward to similar books which are light and strengthen our moral attitude in life.
