Did the title of the book inspire me or the author??

I was listening to many speeches given by this profound author and totally insipred by her simplicity, her character, her humility and Sudha Murthy as a person. A strong lady behind the success of a great man in the IT industry. I wanted to know more about her writings and that is when my friends presented me with a bunch of her books and what more would someone like me read.

“The mother I never knew”…we all have mothers whom we know from our birth, have seen her for a life time and been with her or rather she has been with us in every walk of our life. What if there was a secret behind this very thing.

My reading journey thus began! I travelled into the lives of two men who had secrets behind their mothers and were on a quest to find them.

Venkatesh, a bank manager is wrongly identified as someone else in a place where he was visiting. Please call him and identify him with a different master’s name and Venkatesh is totally confused. Is this a mistake or is there a real master who looks like him? Venkatesh discovers then that there is a someone who looks just like him. How could this possibly be?

He later understands that his father had a wife and a son whom he had deserted long back and that his mother was the second wife. Why did his fatehr do this? What was the motive behind all of this? Was he born to a father who was immoral?

Another story unfolds…Mukesh a man from a very well know family finds out that he did not belong to the family at all. He was an adopted child. Heartbroken, Mukesh sets out to find his biological mother. He discovers the reason behind his adoption, his biological mother and all associated facts. So did he abandon the parents who brought him up to the man he is today and go with his biological mother?

Read this book to find out more…Books with very simple English and beautifully written. The author has proven that she is truly a woman of simplicity but such high standards in her books and writings too.
