Infosys madam-A good writer too( On Mrs. Sudha Murthy)
67Mrs Sudha Murthy
Engineer turned writer
Everyone knows about the INFOSYS - the giant software company in the world.It is the effort of Mr. Narayana Murthy and his wife Sudha Murthy, that the company developed to such a great fame, ofcourse with the dedicated work of some people who they chose to work with them in the begining.But very few people may be knowing the other talent of mrs.Sudha Murthy. She is a good author too.
Short bio-sketch
Mrs. Sudha was born and developed near Hubli ,another big city in Karnataka.She belongs to a middle class orthodax brahmin family who loved Indian culture very much, and followed it. Her elders were in teaching profession with all love and dedication for it and earned reputation. Sudha earned her degree in engineering with a gold medal in 1972 and then proceeded to Bangalore for higher studies. Now, she lives there. Strangely enough, She had not seen Bangalore till she completed her 22nd year.
Authorship
Mrs. Sudha had to spend a large part of her life in her engineering carreer,and helping her husband to see the company started by them stands upright. When all that is achieved, the experiences in her pressed her to sit back and pen down them. Hence She went on writing. Some newspapers in kannada provided her oppurtunities by allowing her to write permanent columns. She did the job very well.Later on, her articles came out in the forrm of books , got poularity, and were translated into many languages.
Books
Sudha might have started writing just 10-12 years ago. Within this short period 15 books of hers are published.Four of them are on computers, some others are- travellogues, novels and collection of articles written periodically for columns.
She writes in Kannada and English.Her almost all works are translated into other languages.Some of them are translated into as many as fourteen Indian languages.
One of her books, 'WISE AND OTHERWISE' -a collection of column articles, is translated into 15 languages and more than 10,000 copies are sold in one year.
Mrs. Sudha Muthry's writings catch us by their simplicilty, minute observations, and wide knowledge of human behaviour.

Thank you Mrs.Jazlive. I do not know whether Mrs. Sudha Murhty has a personal website or not. She doesn't receives her e-mails personally, as many unwanted e-mails will be there. For instance,This very article on herself was returned unchecked!
Whether the website you mentioned allows me also for use? If yes, I can make use of it.
Wish you all the best
The article is excellent as Madam Sudha Murthy. Its surprizing that the above picture does not show the books she has written in Kannada. Originally she is Kannadiga and write many books in her mother tongue . All the books above mentioned are translated from Kannada. So. I request you to display the books she has written in Kannada. Please give me Madam's email ID, I wish to share one of the real life stories with her.
Thanks for your good words Veena. I do not know the email ID of Mrs. Sudha Murthy. I got one form a book seller, but this article emailed to her that address was returned. Perhaps, even for today,she has not seen this article.
I have clearly told in the above article that she is born and bred in karnataka. I have also told that she writes in kannada. Infact, the coverpages shown above were printed on the back of her kannada book 'manada maatu' that had come to me for review from a famous kannada journal.
I have become a fan of Ms Sudha Murthy after having read her books. I am a Principal in one of the schools based at Rajkot, Gujarat. Having read her book it inspired me a lot and I relate these stories with my day to day working with small children. Our school is basically for the Balashram children and lower middle class group. I narrate the stories to my children and they are also very much motivated by the same. Do let me know the books written by her. I have read "How I taught my Grandmother to read and other stories and Manani Vaat in Gujarati. They are mind blowing.
