The day I stopped drinking milk by sudha Murty

A collection of short stories. If you are kind of a person who tries very hard to finish what was started, then pick it up.

If you are more than 15 years old, and if you had read fables when you were a kid, then either you might get nostalgia or the page number where you stopped reading will indicate the level of patience you have.This book will examine how well you can motivate yourself.

The book contains collection of incidents. In every incident, first person is Sudha Murty. In more than half of the stories, the stories end with showing how wise and compassionate she is. She maintained the same style of story telling for every story. All most all stories starts with description of a person she knows. Then how she helped that person or lectured that person. In the end there will be a moral.

Except for one story " Do you remember?" Where some other person lectures her on how small things are important in life more than awards. I patiently read all stories, except the last one. Where she wrote her life lessons ,point by point . I could not read that one, I can't read a fable with moral in the end anymore. I swallowed my ego, accepted that I am not that patient as I would like to think of myself and closed the book.

And this will be the day, I stopped reading Sudha Murty books.
