Three Thousand Stitches by Sudha Murty
So often, it's the simplest acts of courage that touch the lives of others. Sudha Murty-through the exceptional work of the Infosys Foundation as well as through her own youth, family life and travels-encounters many such stories . . . and she tells them here in her characteristically clear-eyed, warm-hearted way. She talks candidly about the meaningful impact of her work in the devadasi community, her trials and tribulations as the only female student in her engineering college and the unexpected and inspiring consequences of her father's kindness. From the quiet joy of discovering the reach of Indian cinema and the origins of Indian vegetables to the shallowness of judging others based on appearances, these are everyday struggles and victories, large and small.Unmasking both the beauty and ugliness of human nature, each of the real-life stories in this collection is reflective of a life lived with grace.

Pratigya by PremChand Ji
देवकी - 'जा कर समझाओ-बुझाओ और क्या करोगे। उनसे कहो, भैया, हमारा डोंगा क्यों मझधार में डुबाए देते हो। तुम घर के लड़के हो। तुमसे हमें ऐसी आशा न थी। देखो कहते क्या हैं।'देवकी - 'आखिर क्यों? कोई हरज है?'देवकी ने इस आपत्ति का महत्व नहीं समझा। बोली - 'यह तो कोई बात नहीं आज अगर कमलाप्रसाद मुसलमान हो जाए, तो क्या हम उसके पास आना-जाना छोड़ देंगे? हमसे जहाँ तक हो सकेगा, हम उसे समझाएँगे और उसे सुपथ पर लाने का उपाय करेंगे।'देवकी - 'नहीं, क्षमा कीजिए। इस जाने से न जाना ही अच्छा। मैं ही कल बुलवा लूँगी।'देवकी - 'प्रेमा उन लड़कियों में नहीं कि तुम उसका विवाह जिसके साथ चाहो कर दो। जरा जा कर उसकी दशा देखो तो मालूम हो। जब से यह खबर मिली है, ऐसा मालूम होता है कि देह में प्राण ही नहीं। अकेले छत पर पड़ी हुई रो रही है।''प्रतिज्ञा' उपन्यास विषम परिस्थितियों में घुट घुट कर जी रही भारतीय नारी की विवशताओं और नियति का सजीव चित्रण है। प्रतिज्ञा का नायक विधुर अमृतराय किसी विधवा से शादी करना चाहता है ताकि किसी नवयौवना का जीवन नष्ट न हो। नायिका पूर्णा आश्रयहीन विधवा है; समाज के भूखे भेड़िये उसके संचय को तोड़ना चाहते हैं। उपन्यास में प्रेमचंद ने विधवा समस्या को नए रूप में प्रस्तुत किया है एवं विकल्प भी सुझाया है। यह गोदान के तुरंत बाद की कृति है जिसमें लेखक अपनी शक्तियों के चरमोत्कर्ष पर था।
