Abstract: They appear in motion pictures that ladies who carry dark attire, wacky haircut, tattoos and pull off insane tricks are boss, yet do they realize that a lady wearing a straightforward cotton dhoti can be an all-out boss, in the real world where we normal people live? Mother Teresa was one of those ladies. Furthermore, Padma Shri Sudha Murthy is one more name that goes on that rundown. Sudha Murthy is a person who has marked her presence by doing the extreme works in that era or that period wherein women, in general, were neither given any support nor were appreciated to work and study. Sudha has devoted her life so much to the society that it can be reflected in her written work as well as practical life. There are number of write-ups of Sudha in which the reality of society is highlighted which she has faced herself while she travelled the nation around and also some foreign trips which she had done. Her work is emotional, truthful and so real, that the reader is touched and can feel the aura of the story around. Every author has a story behind writing a book which Sudha also has, but the only difference is, her behind the story is so realistic that creates an interest in readers to read the book. The amazing thing about her love for literature is that she does not only stick to one type of work, but there is also so much variety one can infer from her work and that is very exciting. Sudha stands as an eminent and worthy example for everyone that money does make you everything, it is your work and behaviour that has to follow it which should be humble and full of dignity.

Keywords: Sudha Murthy, Literature, Indian fiction.
