During a school function, Sudha Murthy had narrated an interesting story about her son. The story amazed the audience and till date has remained one of the most popular stories for parents.

Her son, Rohan Narayana Murthy, who was a young school going kid at that time, came to her and asked her to throw a lavish birthday party. “He wanted a big party,” she said.

It was then Murthy suggested her son to have a small party and give the money that could have been used for a big party, to their family driver so that his kids can have education.

“My son was reluctant at first,” she remembers. However, he later agreed for a small party.

A party that could have cost Rs 50,000 was managed with 5,000 rupees and rest of the money was used for a genuine cause.
