The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk by Sudha Murty Book Summary:

Extraordinary stories about ordinary peoples lives by the inimitable Sudha Murty

Over the years, Sudha Murty has come across some fascinating people whose lives make for interesting stories and have astonishing lessons to reveal. Take Vishnu, who achieves every material success but never knows happiness; or Venkat, who talks so much that he has no time to listen. In other stories, a young girl goes on a train journey that changes her life forever; an impoverished village woman provides bathing water to hundreds of people in a drought-stricken area; a do-gooder ghost decides to teach a disconsolate young man Sanskrit; and in the title story, a woman in a flooded village in Odisha teaches the author a life lesson she will never forget.

The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk by Sudha Murty Book Review

 
The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk by Sudha Murty is a compilation of instances from her own life and that of people she met over the years. She shares her experiences at different times and with different people in the form of short stories which are enlightening as well as an eye opener. 

One of the few authors who have the skill to write simply yet have an impact on their readers, Sudha Murty has always fascinated me with her observations and her thoughts on matters most diverse. Here also she talks of different situations and gives us her own perspective to her experiences.

I liked and really enjoyed the very diverse stories compiled in this book but also didn’t agree to some of her observations and conclusions. A biographical non-fiction, this book has valuable life lessons taken from the life experiences of ordinary people that will appeal to readers looking for enlightening stories on everyday life. 
 
A light and breezy read with no difficult terminologies to confuse you, I give The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk : Life Stories from Here and There 3.5 out of 5 stars and Njkinny recommends it to all who are in search of a light book which entertains as well as teaches the readers a lesson in humanity and humility.
