While reading Sudha Murthy’s Wise and Otherwise, I was struck by how effortlessly she captures the contradictions in human behavior. Some stories left me smiling with hope in people’s goodness, while others reminded me of how selfishness and hypocrisy can exist in unexpected places. Her writing is simple, yet it touches deep emotions and makes you reflect on your own values. For me, this book felt less like fiction and more like sitting with a wise elder who shares real lessons from life.
