Wise and Otherwise
Review :
This book has been written by Sudha Murty an Indian author and teacher. This book contains a number of short stories which have originated from her experience. Real life stories providing examples for people to lead better lives is the main objective of her writing.
This book contains 51 stories giving out different messages . The scenario of Indian culture and conditions stands before your eyes. Some stories make your heart ache while some make you feel happy after you have read them. The difference between the Indian society and the Western societies is clearly seen when the comparison is made by Murty. The Indian mindset of " what will others think?" , " what are we going to tell them?" e.t.c is the main problem of many families faced with a challenging and uncommon situation which ultimately results in the end of life in most cases.
The most Indians are troubled by the pressure of society because of which they get scared to go for the unknown, unexplored. Various social problems are highlighted in this book in the forms of short stories.
This book will provide you entertainment as well as make you a bit socially aware. I would term this as education of Indian scenarios in different senses through the mode of entertaining stories.
A perfect way to spend your Sunday would be to hit the nearest coffee shop and read this book while having a nice hot cappuccino on a chilly December afternoon.
