‘Murthy’s book explains the true meaning of leadership’

discipline and honesty to the youth,which is indeed very inspiring.”

The educationist clearly seems to be in awe of Murthy. “Taking inspiration from visionary leaders

like Dr A P J Kalam,Dr Manmohan Singh and Atal Bihari Vajpayee,Narayana Murthy has discussed at length about the state of the country,the progress it has made,the challenges it has been facing and he also suggests the solutions. After talking about the problems,Murthy stresses upon the need to change our

mindsets to make India a better place.”

She recalls: “At one place he writes that India is the only country which holds the key to a better world.

A statement such as this fills the reader with positive thoughts. The chapter ‘What would I do,if I were the principal of a senior secondary school’,is really helpful for a school administrator as it helps a person understand the real meaning of leadership.”

Narayana Murthy also talks about the film Chak De India about which he says: “I want to realise the movie in the true sense. I want India to progress in every field,be it sports,science,technology or democracy. The way Murthy convinces readers on different subjects is a commendable job. Like when he interacts with youth,he talks of a better value system and emphasises that it is possible

only with the execution of ideas.”

Almost as an afterthought,the principal says: “I loved his use of simple language but spontaneous writing style which makes the reader feel as if he/she is engrossed in a serious discussion with someone.”
