How I Taught My Grandmother to Read: And Other Stories

What do you do when your grandmother asks you to teach her the alphabet? Or the President of India takes you on a train ride with him? Or your teacher gives you more marks than you deserve? These are just some of the questions you will find answered in this delightful collection of stories recounting real-life incidents from the life of Sudha Murty teacher, social worker, and bestselling writer.

There is an engaging story about one of her students who frequently played truant from school. The account of how her mother's advice to save money came in handy when she wanted to help her husband start a software company and the heartwarming tale of the promise she made and fulfilled to her grandfather, to ensure that her little village library would always be well supplied with books. Funny, spirited, and inspiring, each of these stories teaches a valuable lesson about the importance of doing what you believe is right and having the courage to realize your dreams.

Good quality
Color: Crisp White, Size: Medium
Fit is great, feels like a durable material. Generally a very nice shirt! Bought this for a 5’ 10” male who is 150lbs. Medium was just right, with a little bit of breathing room.

Good for an emergency only
Color: Crisp White, Size: X-Large
Shirts are good overall, but the material is too light ... if you are hairy or have dark skin, you need an undershirt; otherwise, it looks like the shirt is dirty.

love the shirt and they fit well for an overweight man. All the ones I got are consistent in size and you don't see that often.

Excellent style and quality for price
Color: Grey Blue, Size: Medium
Very nice quality and affordable price. Fabric is soft and smooth, very few wrinkles after washing and drying and easy to iron. Seems durable for machine washing and drying. Fits true to size.
