Quotes by Sudha Murty

“Life is an exam where the syllabus is unknown and question papers are not set. Nor are there model answer papers.”
― Sudha Murthy, Wise & Otherwise

“Quantitatively speaking, 'conversation' is inversely proportional to economic standing. If you are traveling in a bus, your fellow passengers will get into a conversation with you very quickly and without any reservation. If you are traveling by first class on a train, people will be more reserved. If you are traveling by air, then the likely hood of getting into a conversation is quite small. If you are in first class on an international flight then you may travel 24 hours without exchanging a single word with the person sitting next to you.”
