This was one of the most simple and elegant books I have read in a long time.A very simple prose but highly effective and gripping. No use of complex word and grammar. Simplicity of this book touched my heart.Sudha Murty is always been my favourite author, however I have read her books in Gujarati translation and have always been close to my heart.The title of this book can be misleading, the fact is, The day I stopped drinking milk is one of the story in this book along with some others.The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk : Life stories from here and there is a recollection of 23 life experiences by Sudha Murty.

In a way they reminded me of the Chicken Soup series that I'd read during my college days.Each story brings with it a said/ unsaid story. My personal favorites were the ones on the Sharaddha

www.whatapoint.blogspot.inThis is the first book of Mrs. Murthy I have read. I dint expect it to be like a story book written for the kindergarten. It has got easy language, no complicated vocabulary. I am not going to read any other book of hers ever again. But for my kids I would recommend it certainly.I still don't understand why she stopped drinking milk.To know more--- www.whatapoint.blogspot.in
