Narayana Murthy recently shared a heartwarming anecdote about an 11-hour train journey without a ticket, undertaken in his youth to be with his wife, Sudha Murty. Despite the charm of the story, online jests ensued, questioning the irony of Murthy s spontaneous journey given his advocacy for a 70-hour workweek.
The book, a biography of Narayana Murthy, mentions his children would spend weeks without listening to his voice as back then, phone calls to the US would cost Rs 32 per minute.
Read this book to know about Sudha Murty and Narayan Murthy s formative years, their courtship years and early marriage. Read this also, for an interesting take on how biographies can break the mould of linear storytelling to resemble a movie reel.
