About The Book

The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk: Life Stories from Here and There is a heartwarming collection of 23 short stories based on the personal experiences of Murthy. The book provides a window into the lives of ordinary people whose lives are transformed through acts of kindness, introspection, and self-discovery. Each story is deeply emotional and captures a different aspect of life, from a woman named Chitra who finds a new direction in life after a chance meeting with the author, to an old lady in Ganga’s Ghat who finds fulfillment in helping others.

The cover story, "The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk," tells a touching account of the author's visit to a family in Odisha, revealing how simple acts of hospitality can carry deeper meanings. Other stories, like that of Vishnu, a successful man unaware of true happiness, and the poignant life of Rahman, a Muslim raised by a Hindu neighbor, bring forward the themes of human connection, cultural understanding, and compassion.

This collection is not only about personal journeys but also about the ways in which ordinary lives intertwine to create extraordinary stories, moving readers to reflect on their own lives and blessings.
