Three Thousand Stitches: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives [Paperback] Murty, Sudha
In 'Three Thousand Stitches', Sudha Murty intricately interlaces a vibrant mosaic of human encounters, revealing the remarkable concealed within the mundane. Drawing inspiration from her endeavors with the Infosys Foundation, her personal journey, and her exploratory travels, Murty unfolds an anthology of authentic tales that shed light on the transformative power of seemingly modest gestures of bravery. With her signature warmth and lucidity, she reveals unvarnished narratives of her pioneering initiatives within the devadasi community, the trials faced as a solitary female engineering pupil, and the lasting ripple effects of her father’s benevolence. Covering diverse topics from the international influence of Indian cinema to the exploration of indigenous vegetables in India, Murty's storytelling traverses an expansive spectrum of human experiences. This gripping compilation not only lays bare the duality of human nature—the grace alongside the grit—but also poignantly illustrates the beauty inherent in life's daily tribulations and triumphs, whether grand or minute.
