Three Thousand Stitches -: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives : Sudha Murty: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Perfect! - Perfect!
Review: If you don't know who she is, it's hard to relate to some of this. - I'm inclined to think that I might be one of the few readers of this book who isn't Indian and doesn't have a clue who Sudha Murty is. I suspect it's a disadvantage. This woman seems to be held in high esteem but she's not well known internationally. I picked this up at Delhi Airport, hoping for the tales of 'ordinary people, extraordinary lives' but found that misleading since the book is mostly about the author and the 'ordinary people' are just the supporting cast for her own achievements. From what I gathered, she's the head of an important charity. That's nice. But she's also rather judgemental seeming to adore the recipients of her charitable work, and to knock her peers. There's a very scathing attack on some women at the airport who don't realise she's travelling business class (Frankly, my dear, if you dress down to fly, don't be surprised if people don't realise you're heading for the front of the plane. Frequent travellers really don't care) but this tale contrasts rather badly with her claims of great poverty for her organisation and how that stopped them building their HQ for many years. She dismisses a close friend's request to attend an important family occasion because she's just too busy and then drags that friend to the office to spend a day seeing just how important her work is. The opening story about the devadasis is a wasted opportunity to tell people more about their lives - but I guess for the home market that education isn't required. For the rest of us, it would be useful. I'm not a religious person but I was brought up on the New Testament adage "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing," so for me, this "Hey, look how important I am and what amazing work my foundation is doing" sits rather uncomfortably. Great work by her group, no doubt, but all a bit too boasty and preachy for my liking.
