These are just some of the poignant and eye-opening stories about people from all over the country that Sudha Murty recounts in this book. From incredible examples of generosity to the meanest acts one can expect from men and women, she records everything with wry humour and a directness that touches the heart.

This revised new edition is sure to charm many more readers and encourage them to explore their inner selves and the world around us with new eyes.
