Three Thousand Stitches by Sudha Murty is a collection of 11 short stories inspired by the author’s life. Through these stories, the author shared bits from her life when she exhibited a remarkable attitude and positivity. Those anecdotes also display her grounded nature and give us insightful lessons.I picked this up for reading on the recommendation of a friend. What an awesome, inspiring story!
Driven by a strong conviction to making a difference in the lives of Devadasis in Karnataka, Sudha Murty embarks on her mission. Initially she is spurned and insulted. Undeterred by these setbacks, she changes her approach, perseveres and earns the trust of the Devadasis. Slowly, and surely the changes occur at the grassroots. The women march towards a sense of financial independence by starting a bank, and send the children to be educated.
The highlight of this inspiring story is the straight-from-the-heart storytelling style of Sudha Murty. No attempt at weaving together complex and pretentious sentences. Just simple and effective storytelling! I love this! Must read her other books!
Buy this book and read it! You will not be disappointed!
