Sudha Murty is a highly acclaimed Indian English author, a philanthropist and a technocrat. She is a Padma Shri and a Padma Bhushan awardee. She is not just known for her simple living and high thinking but also for her ingenious and skilful mind. Her writing explores inner trauma of women, their social status, their struggle, their sacrifices, quest for self identity, marriage and man-woman relationship. The present paper expresses how the beautiful bond of love and commitment turns into a futile bond of convenience and loses its existence; how muted sacrifices of the woman goes unrecognised because of the self-obsession and selfishness of her husband and in-turn destroys their marriage.
