Beautiful Collection of Short Stories !
A very impressive collection of short stories ! ‘Ordinary people, Extraordinary lives’ – is what the tagline of the book says ! The book is nothing but, another beautiful bundle of 11 short stories by Sudha Murty. All stories have significant life lessons and great way to learn. I loved how simplistic her writing, which according to me, is a mark of an able storyteller. Hence, without any doubt, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book ! Her stories get connected with you on personal level while reading and that, probably, is the reason why the author is loved by Reader’s community. The book is very simple and light read, yet an intriguing one ! The language used in the book was super-easy so, I finished it in just 3 sittings ! Really ! Narration of the book is so smooth that making you finish it in just 2 or 3 sittings ! Also from each story, you’ll learn something special and new. I strongly recommend to those who are beginner in English and new reader ! Give it a try and read at once. You won’t regret it !

A Must Read
Book Review - Three Thousand Stitches: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives Book – Three Thousand Stitches: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives Author – Sudha Murty Page – 179 Format – Paperback Language – English Publisher – Penguin Random House India I started reading this book with lots of hope and expectation and I am glad that I am not disappointed except at few places. What Sudha Murty offers in 'Three Thousand Stitches' is a share of her experiences and outlook towards life in a simple and honest way. After reading this I have been deeply inspired by her commitment towards whatever she has chosen to do. She writes about her personal anecdotes with her family, teachers and friends who have touched her. This book is a descriptive narrative of personal experiences comprises of some beautiful chapters like “how to beat the boys”, “No Place like Home”, “Three handful of water” and many more. However, there is one chapter named “A Life Unwritten” which could have written in much better way as it looks more like a Bollywood movie plot (As author has also agreed at the end of the chapter). Book is full of Motivational content with a lot of useful information. This book also provided an insight into the working of an efficient charitable organization. Writing Style: The language is super easy and the narration is smooth making you finish this book in two to three sitting. I personally finished it in 3 sittings. My perception: Without any doubt, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. The stories are so amazing, inspirational and impacting that you will find yourselves immersed in them. I can’t choose a single favorite story as all the stories are totally worth to read. From each story, you are going to learn something. Also, I strongly recommend to those who are beginner in English and new reader. Simple language, easy to understand and grasp. A very impressive collection of short stories! You must give it a try and read it once. I am sure you will not regret it. Book Title – 4/5 Book Cover – 3.5/5 Narration – 4.5/5 Language and Grammar – 4.5/5 Final Rating – 4/5

My Thoughts on Three Thousand Stitches
Sudha Murthy is such an inspiring woman. Her storytelling feels so personal—like listening to your own grandma or a close friend sharing real-life stories and the challenges she has faced. Each chapter is simple, powerful, and straight from the heart. There’s nothing boring here—just short, meaningful stories that you can read quickly but remember for a long time.
