Something Happened on the Way to Heaven : 20 Inspiring Real-Life Stories

Sudha Murty's own books can only capture the stories of the people she has personally met through her social work - so for this collection, she went looking for more. Something Happened on the Way to Heaven gathers twenty true, life-affirming stories handpicked by Murty from over a thousand entries submitted to a nationwide contest run by Penguin. Ordinary people share the moments that quietly changed them: a life-altering train journey, an act of extraordinary generosity during a drought, an unlikely lesson learned from a ghost. Moving without being saccharine, this anthology captures the hope, kindness and resilience found in everyday Indian lives. A warm, easy read for fans of Murty's non-fiction and anyone who enjoys true stories with heart.
