About this listen
Meet these people: Bundle Bindu, so named because he likes his truth with a little embellishment, Jayant the shopkeeper who doesn't make any profit, and Lunchbox Nalini, Sudha Murty herself, who brings her empty lunchbox—to be filled with food—wherever she goes!
Written in Sudha Murty's inimitable style, Common Yet Uncommon is a heartwarming picture of everyday life and the foibles and quirks of ordinary people. In the fourteen tales that make up the collection, Sudha Murty delves into memories of childhood, life in her hometown and the people she's crossed paths with. These and the other characters who populate this book do not possess wealth or fame. They are unpolished and outspoken, transparent and magnanimous.
Their stories are tales of unvarnished humans, with faults and big hearts.
Testament to the unique parlance of a small town, Common Yet Uncommon speaks a universal language of what it means to be human.

A wonderful journey
I love reading Sudha Murthy's books. To me, she feels like a storytelling grandma whose tales never fail to meet my expectations. This book is no different. Through her stories, she explores the varied characteristics of people, and each one is truly worth listening to.

I love you
The voice of the Narrator is cute, child-like and like old smart women at the same time. Honestly I would like to have an audience with her, like just a coffee. Sudha Murthy I really don't know your age, but you're a real sweet heart. God bless you always my dear. Please write more books i really enjoyed the whole book, I would be glad to reread it again. Thank you very much

Its beauty lies in its simplicity
Simple day to day characters, events and individuals around you described so lucidly that you instantly connect with them - thanks to the author and this being an audiobook also the narrator. There is nothing bombastic, there is nothing complex, there is nothing with which you ca not connect in the book. We see them all around us in a typical middle-class neighborhood in India. Till the last page where the author who posts herself as Nalini one remains in the flow. Enjoyed the book thoroughly.
