I’ve been a huge fan of Sudha Murthy’s simple yet profound storytelling for years, and I totally get the desire to read her works without breaking the bank. While her books aren’t always available for free legally, you can check out platforms like Project Gutenberg or Open Library, which occasionally have older titles available for free borrowing. Some public libraries also offer digital copies through apps like Libby or OverDrive—just need a library card.

If you’re okay with snippets, Google Books often provides free previews. But honestly, her books are so worth buying; the wisdom in stories like 'Wise and Otherwise' or 'How I Taught My Grandmother to Read' is priceless. I’ve reread my copies so many times the pages are dog-eared!

As someone who devours books daily, I’ve scoured the internet for free reads, including Sudha Murthy’s heartwarming works. Legally, your best bets are library services. Many Indian libraries partner with platforms like Libby, where you can borrow e-books for free—just check if your local library is registered.

Another underrated gem is the National Digital Library of India (NDLI), which offers free access to educational and literary works, including some of Murthy’s titles like 'The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk.' Universities sometimes provide access too if you’re a student.

For physical copies, used bookstores or community book swaps might yield surprises. I once found 'Mahashweta' at a tiny stall for next to nothing! Remember, though, supporting authors by purchasing their books ensures more stories get written. Murthy’s tales of kindness and resilience, like those in 'Dollar Bahu,' deserve every penny.

I love how Sudha Murthy’s books blend life lessons with simplicity—perfect for cozy reading. Free legal options are limited, but here’s what I’ve found: Audible sometimes offers free trials where you can listen to her audiobooks, like 'The Mother I Never Knew.' Scribd’s free trial also includes a few of her works.

For digital copies, check out Kindle’s ‘Free First’ program; they occasionally feature chapters from her books. If you’re in India, apps like KopyKitab might have discounts or freebies during festivals.

I’d also recommend following Sudha Murthy’s interviews; she often shares anecdotes not in her books. While free reads are great, her stories—like ‘Gently Falls the Bakula’—are so rich, they’re worth saving up for. My paperback collection started with a secondhand copy of ‘Old Man and His God,’ and it’s now my most lent book!

They Read My Mind
I was the biological daughter of the Stone Family. With my gossip-tracking system, I played the part of a meek, obedient girl on the surface, but underneath, I would strike hard when it counted. What I didn't realize was that someone could hear my every thought. "Even if you're our biological sister, Alicia is the only one we truly acknowledge. You need to understand your place," said my brothers. 'I must've broken a deal with the devil in a past life to end up in the Stone Family this time,' I figured. My brothers stopped dead in their tracks. "Alice is obedient, sensible, and loves everyone in this family. Don't stir up drama by trying to compete for attention." I couldn't help but think, 'Well, she's sensible enough to ruin everyone's lives and loves you all to the point of making me nauseous.' The brothers looked dumbfounded.

He starts nibbling on my chest and starts pulling off my bra away from my chest. I couldn’t take it anymore, I push him away hard and scream loudly and fall off the couch and try to find my way towards the door. He laughs in a childlike manner and jumps on top of me and bites down on my shoulder blade. “Ahhh!! What are you doing! Get off me!!” I scream clawing on the wooden floor trying to get away from him.He sinks his teeth in me deeper and presses me down on the floor with all his body weight. Tears stream down my face while I groan in the excruciating pain that he is giving me. “Please I beg you, please stop.” I whisper closing my eyes slowly, stopping my struggle against him.He slowly lets me go and gets off me and sits in front of me. I close my eyes and feel his fingers dancing on my spine; he keeps running them back and forth humming a soft tune with his mouth. “What is your name pretty girl?” He slowly bounces his fingers on the soft skin of my thigh. “Isabelle.” I whisper softly.“I’m Daniel; I just wanted to play with you. Why would you hurt me, Isabelle?” He whispers my name coming closer to my ear.I could feel his hot breathe against my neck. A shiver runs down my spine when I feel him kiss my cheek and start to go down to my jaw while leaving small trails of wet kisses. “Please stop it; this is not playing, please.” I hold in my cries and try to push myself away from him.

I've always admired how Sudha Murthy's books blend simple storytelling with profound life lessons, especially for entrepreneurs. 'How I Taught My Grandmother to Read and Other Stories' is a personal favorite. It isn't a business manual, but the anecdotes about perseverance, resourcefulness, and humility resonate deeply with anyone building something from scratch. The story about the grandmother learning to read at 60 reminds me that age or circumstance isn't a barrier—just like in entrepreneurship. Her book 'Wise and Otherwise' also stands out, with real-life stories highlighting ethical dilemmas and human resilience. These aren't 'how-to' guides, but they teach the emotional grit needed to navigate business challenges. Murthy’s emphasis on kindness over cutthroat tactics is refreshing in a profit-driven world.
