Common Yet Uncommon

Meet a colorful cast of characters in Sudha Murty's charming world. Bundle Bindu, the master of embellished truths, shares tales with Jayant, the benevolent shopkeeper who shuns profit, and Lunchbox Nalini, none other than Sudha Murty herself, always carrying an empty lunchbox, ready to be filled wherever she roams.

In the unmistakable style of Sudha Murty, "Common Yet Uncommon" paints a heartwarming portrait of everyday life and the quirks that make ordinary people extraordinary. Within the pages of this collection's fourteen tales, Murty explores her memories of childhood, her hometown, and the diverse individuals she's encountered. These characters are not defined by wealth or fame; they are unadorned, candid, generous, and, above all, human.

Through the lens of a small town's distinctive language, "Common Yet Uncommon" tells stories that resonate with the universal essence of what it means to be human, celebrating the beauty of flaws and the kindness of open hearts. Book written by Sudha Murthy
