With every novel, I first write in Kannada and then, I translate it into English. For 10 years in between, I didn’t write because I was studying engineering and then I was busy with the foundation. I used to write in school and college, but I wrote in Kannada. You have written a lot of books but you started writing pretty late in life… Everything I write is mostly relatable to everyone and since everyone cannot write, they feel like Sudha Murthy is writing their story. The language is extremely simple and you don’t require a dictionary to decipher it. Fortunately, my books are simple and people have liked it. I write it because I like to write, and this character stayed with me. I don’t even think if people will like it or not. I don’t even think if my books will be adapted into films.

Some of your stories have also been adapted into movies. with his wife Sudha Murthy at their residence in Bangalore, Karnataka. Narayana Murthy, Chairman of Infosys Technologies Ltd.

Watching a movie is like appearing for an exam. So when I see a movie, I also see the editing, the music, the camera angles, etc. I am a creative person and watching a movie is like writing a story. And every time I got bad grades, it was all attributed to Rajesh Khanna. In my last book, Here, There And Everywhere, a chapter dealt with how I would watch all kinds of films in different languages.

Whereas with non-fiction, it’s all real and so much of it is happening right in front of you. I realised that fiction limits of your imagination. I used to write a lot of fiction but over a period of time, when I started working with Infosys Foundation, I saw so many incidents happening around me. Do you feel like fiction limits your scope as a writer? Over the past couple of years, you have tilted towards writing non-fiction.

This indicates that, ups and downs are a part of life, and that this too shall pass. But even they had to undergo separation from their loved ones and other difficulties. They were exceptionally good people, and later, came to be known as Gods. Some of these stories have a lovely lesson and when you face any difficulties, they really help you by giving simple solutions. I am not ritualistic but I do pray every day. Since mythology is closely connected to religion and culture, would you call yourself a religious person? Because a lot of stories are passed on to children by their mothers. That’s when it struck me that these kind of stories should be written for young adults. Later, I read about mythology from different countries and different Ramayanas from our own country. I learnt a lot about mythology, and it deepened my interest in the subject. 60 years back, there were lots of books that spoke about mythology so unknowingly. The only way to entertain yourself was with books. I was brought up in an era where there was, fortunately, no television and no electronic gadgets.

It’s lovely to write for the youngsters because through your story, you can teach them the lessons of life. You have to train your mind to think like a child’s to be able to write that.
