Overview 

Though, the book has both positive notations as well as negative ones. She started with the story in which she  was tricked by son and father. Abelit she  helped them but the fact she was betrayed and tricked made her sad. 

Unlike other books, she tried to share bitter truth of life. Like, she help three children by paying their college fees. She fortunately had a chance to meet them, one has thanked and showed gratitude towards her but other one just did what as casual behaviour. 

She ended up quoting " same situation, same shy student but how different they are. " 

A Salute to Life 

Sudha Murthy has so many positive stories as well. How the poor are concerned about more needy should get the help first, but the upper class people have money to spend money on their lavish party but concerned about raising funds. Their are many eye opening narration in book.

A disgust to Life 

Author raised the issues real world is dealing. Like women struggle. She narrated three stories which made me cry. Either you are poor, rich or middle class, they always have some issues. One poor girl was burnt alive, mother-in law tied her and his husband poured kersone. This made me how one can be so inhuman. They tried to burn her and died in hospital bed. 

Not only poor, we'll earning women have issues with their husand. Books has many such stories. Inspiring and disgusting , all these issues are real and one need to solve them. 

Their are many unknown areas where development is zero, people still not have idea what's happening. The government needs to uplift,  who are lacking behind. 

There are so many life lessons you can learn from simple stories. Either you  appreciate  or complain, what you have. 

" Life is always unfair. If you want, you can make it fair." 

Conclusion 

Sudha Murthys book are about her experience and knowledge. So the whole review was about her instead of book. Anyway Sudha Murty is great writer, her simplicity and the ideas attached is always awesome. 

You must have heard 

" Experience is Best Teacher " 

She is believer of the saying. I will say you must read the book.  You will know about both curse and fortuitous of life.
