Good book for readers who like simple and story-based content. Stories about life experiences of people give you insights into life and genuine guidance. Sudha Murthy always won my heart with her simple yet impactful writing. She always shows what true feminism is and how simple living is the best art of living. Every story is inspirational in one or another way. A must-read book for any age group

This book is a collection of 20 inspiring stories .The fascinating part is the stories were chosen from over a thousand entries which makes this work diverse. It is edited by Sudha Murthy and these are real life events. It makes you believe that no matter what kindness and empathy is the only way around to survival. I always enjoy writings that are simple yet leave a heart touching impression and this book is one of that kind. I will recommend this to an avid reader, a beginner and even students. Such books need to be read as they have so much to offer . So why should we miss ?

Same...very typical Sudha Madam style

Very gud book with lot of gud stories. Highly recommend. Each story is very soul stirring. A must read book.

Sudha Murthy is a narrator, not a story teller. Period. Her books are meaningful, philosophical but most importantly real. Almost all the stories capture the essence of human life in some way or the other. They strike a chord with the reader, you feel one with the narration. Her writing style as well as content is very similar to the ever so popular R K Narayan. If you have had a taste of Mr Narayan's works you will surely relate to Ms Murthy. One cannot classify this book into one particular genre. Is it a fiction or self help book or a book which has elements of joy, sorrow and amusement? Well, thats the beauty of her work. It comes down to the interpretation of the reader. Do buy a copy of her books esp these short stories: You will be glad you bought.

This book is collection of 20 inspiring real-life short stories written by Sudha Murthy’s readers and edited by her. Few of the stories are from people who are affected by the incidents like 1947 partition, Mumbai bomb blast, 2010 aero bridge accident in Hyderabad etc. These stories transport you to various parts of India and triggers numerous emotions in you. Some of the stories are heartening. Overall I enjoyed reading. My favorite stories from the book: - Acceptance - The Dhaka Girl - Elixir - A New Beginning - An Encounter of Special Kind My Take away from this book - 1. “Love is like all those nice things around us that aren’t always visible. Like a rainbow. You don’t always see it. You just have to trust it’s there”. 2. Once love is given in the universe, it can never go to waste; it will come back to you when you need it the most, in a form that you have never known.
