Yo Sudha Murthy so simple

From appearing in only 300 media interviews a week to preaching on everything under the sun, Sudha Murthy has done it all. It is said that as a child, Sudha Murthy grew up in a media deprived family. "When I was growing up, we, as a family, were covered by the media only once a week. Sometimes we would go go for weeks without PR and we were never featured on Doordarshan. We didn't have a remote and had to change channels manually. Radio knobs had to be changed by hand. That should give you an idea of how challenging my childhood was," Murthy once told us. 

To help you understand how simple Sudha Murthy is, Humor Unplugged has put together a few benchmarks that Sudha Murthy has set. Let's roll.

Sudha Murthy is so simple that:

• She only takes pictures in black and white to conserve colors
• She mostly travels by Alliance Air and cooks her own food in the plane using ingredients available in the plane. Once she was able to dish out a paper dosa using just the inflight safety briefing document
• Her wig is made of her own hair 
• She uses Google Pay for payments just to get 3 Rs cashback after every 6800 transactions above Rs. 1,00,000
• She never relies on the commentary given by commentators [what if the commentator is a non-vegetarian] during cricket matches. Instead she puts the TV on mute and gives her own commentary. "One should always be atmanirbhar, in every aspect," she says. For some reason, her husband Narayan Murthy never watches matches at home to this day. Sudha doesn't know why.
