Three Thousand Stitches: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives




So often, it's the simplest acts of courage that touch the lives of others. Sudha Murty-through the exceptional work of the Infosys Foundation as well as through her own youth, family life and travels-encounters many such stories... And she tells them here in her characteristically clear-eyed, warm-hearted way. She talks candidly about the meaningful impact of her work in the devadasi community, her trials and tribulations as the only female student in her engineering college and the unexpected and inspiring consequences of her father's kindness.


From the quiet joy of discovering the reach of Indian cinema and the origins of Indian vegetables to the shallowness of judging others based on appearances, these are everyday struggles and victories, large and small. Unmasking both the beauty and ugliness of human nature, each of the real-life stories in this collection is reflective of a life lived with grace.

ब छसे ख़ानमूज कूर
I’m your dearest daughter


द्यु म रुखसात म्यान बोय जानो
Now it’s time to bid me farewell, O my beloved father
उंगली पकड़ के तूने By holding my finger

चलना सिखाया था ना You taught me how to walk

दहलीज़ ऊँची है ये पार करा दे Threshold is high, help me to cross it

बाबा मैं तेरी मलिका O Father, I am your princess
टुकड़ा हूँ तेरे दिल का I am the piece of your heart 
इक बार फिर से दहलीज़ पार करा दे
Once again help me to cross this threshold
मुड़ के ना देखो दिलबरो.... Don't look back, O beloved.... (father)

फसलें जो काटी जायें
उगती नहीं हैं
Crops once harvested, don't grow again
बेटियाँ जो ब्याही जाएँ
मुड़ती नहीं हैं

Daughters who are married, don't turn back (to father's home)

फसलें जो काटी जायें
