These are just some of the questions you will find answered in this delightful collection of stories recounting real-life incidents from the life of Sudha Murty-teacher, social worker and bestselling writer. There is the engaging story about one of her students who frequently played truant from school. The account of how her mother's advice to save money came in handy when she wanted to help her husband start a software company, and the heart-warming tale of the promise she made-and fulfilled-to her grandfather, to ensure that her little village library would always be well supplied with books. Funny, spirited and inspiring, each of these stories teaches a valuable lesson about the importance of doing what you believe is right and having the courage to realize your dreams.

Read the book in one sitting. The stories are quite interesting. They are short, easy to read. Each of these stories has a life lesson we can learn from either as a reminder or a new one. Some parts do come out as sounding like preaching/self righteous attitude. But the story collection is still a good one for beginners and the casual readers.
