Amruta's Writing Block!

Trying to find a balance between my need to communicate, to be in control, and to get over my writer's block – all to fulfill my dream of being the new kid (or old lady) on the "writing block"… Yeah, yeah, I do sarcastic comedy on the side! :D

About Me

Wise and otherwise!

I just started reading the book ‘Wise and Otherwise’ by one of my favourite authors, Sudha Moorthy, and although I have just been able to feast on 3 of the stories, I have almost fallen in love with the book! Ms. Moorthy’s stories are always simply written and yet heart-wrenching; and this book adds further to her glory. Do catch a glimpse if u can; I’m sure you won’t feel like putting it down until you devour it fully! 🙂

P.S. I plan to finish reading it in a coupla days. Shall keep you updated about the rest of it.

    Its an excellent book. Amazing how such seemingly simple stories can teach you so much about life. I have posted my review of the book here:

    It’s an amazing book.. And the best is to listen her narrating these stories.. We were left spell bound. At the launch of the Marathi translation of the book, she just made us literally feel, “Wise and Otherwise..”

    On a slightly unrelated note .. just finished reading “Dollar Bahu” by Sudha Murthy .. needless to say … another excellent book – seeminlgy simple.. but with an extremely relevant message. Expect my review of the book soon.

    Well.. not really a new blog link.. the link you see here is a “career guidance” website for students launched by my friends and self.

    And the review of Wise and Otherwise which you read was on blogsarovar – a group blog by my friends and me 🙂
