Three Thousand Stitches by Sudha Murty presents anecdotes from her life. It's not just any book you'll remember . It isn’t the kind of story that keeps flickering in and out of your consciousness.
The writer of Three Thousand Stitches is powerful in her tone. She is boastfully confident, and proud. At least her voice is. It’s the energy that deserves recognition simply because some are born to be great at what they do. Like Cristiano Ronaldo is for football. He, despite his humble origins, has image after image of his contoured body sprayed with layers of tan. He is bashful, yes, but rightfully so.
The book has anecdotes presented in short stories of her experiences. She recounts the time she was called ‘cattle class’ because of the language she spoke and the way she dressed. The co-founder of one of the most successful IT companies in India tells of her ambition, when she was the only to woman to study engineering in an all-men’s college. She remembers her grandmother and wore silk sari with flowers in her hair. She describes the feeling of contentedness as she soaked herself in the holy waters of Varanasi. She speaks of her daily routine at the foundation she has nurtured so obsessively to help the needy. She detours into her travel diary and rejoices in finding a Bollywood connection everywhere she goes. She, for no logical reason whatsoever, ends the book by reciting her experience of attending an AA meeting to witness the havoc of alcoholism and that is what makes a good book.
The book has touched millions in its own way and is definitely a must read.
