I wrote it like fiction: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni on crafting the uncommon love story of Murthys in her book

New Indian Express  

How did you decide to write a non-fiction book? When I told Chiki I didn’t know how to write non-fiction, she asked me to get all the facts and write it as fiction, bringing the characters to life. It was really after a lot of interviewing, and staying with them in Bengaluru for the book that I understood what makes theirs an uncommon love story. While it is a love story between Narayana and Sudha Murthy, it is also one of Narayana, Sudha and Infosys. When he shared those stories with me, he became an equally major character in the book, because this was the story of overcoming the challenges and still have the fire inside to go after your dreams.
