Netizens react to viral pic of Murthy and daughter Akshata

A user on X said, ¡°Place was packed.... they came quietly and bought their ice cream . Rich but live a common life . This the greatness that Mr Narayana Murthy carries along.¡±

Another user said in a post, ¡°Britain's First Lady Akshata Murty with her Father Shri Narayana Murthy at Corner House in Jayanagar Bangaluru...Beauty in simplicity is the idea that beauty can be found in things that are simple, unadorned, and uncomplicated¡±.

Internet reminds him of "70-hour workweek"

However, the sight of this father-daughter duo enjoying a leisurely moment on a Monday evening prompted raised eyebrows across the internet, appearing to contradict the rigorous work ethic often associated with Murthy's advocacy of a 70-hour workweek. Take a look at some of the reactions.

¡°It¡¯s only 8.30 pm on a monday shouldn¡¯t they both hard at work getting their 70 hours in for the week,¡± quipped one user on ¡®X¡¯, formerly Twitter, upon stumbling upon the viral photo.

Another humorously remarked, ¡°They ask you to work 70 hours a week, so that they can belt a coconut scoop at 7pm on a Monday.¡± A third user commented, ¡°1 hour wasted,¡± while a fourth asked, ¡°Is he on vacation ? What happen to 70 hrs work week schedule ??"
