#eBook Review - "Insta Gita" by Nupur Maskara

As part of #BlogchatterEbook carnival 2018 , many books are published and I want to read as many as possible . I scrolled  to pick up the book “InstaGita” as my first read . This book is a summary of the religious  book BhagavadGita  .  The author has focussed on writing about Gita as a self help resource skipping over the more overtly religious parts .  The author has read many versions of Bhagavad Gita and it is her attempt to present the highlights of the sacred text  in easily understandable form , poetic too at many places .

Title of the Book Insta Gita 
AuthorNupur Maskara
Book typeeBook
GenreSelf Help
PublisherSelf published in May 2018
LanguageEnglish
Length of the Book74 pages

The book is divided into small chapters and every chapter is a very short read . While I was just going through the contents , the chapter “GodZilla “caught my attention . I eagerly scrolled to firstly read this chapter  before I  started reading  the book in a Sequence . The author describes about the divine form of Krishna in this chapter , when Arjuna is given divine eyes to see the brilliance of universe in Krishna .

As this book has been written as a self help resource , you would definitely find many self help tips which have originated from the mouth of God and  which you can try to follow in your life . Be it discipline and control , pain and pleasure , anger /greed and austerity , the author summarizes the Bhagavad Gita very well . While reading , you are forced to analyze what is your true nature and how your food also plays a role in defining your own nature .

Here are some of  the self help tips I liked from the book :-

1. Have a disciplined life .

2. Don’t swing between extremes of pain and pleasure .

3.  Chant OM and make meditation a part of your life .

4. Knowledge power increases your horsepower.

5. Even small sins are so dangerous , they can crush us if nothing else , in guilt .

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Uplift your mood

 My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a  burdened way. I tried watching some  movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of  some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad  mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite  long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood .  You need to find  your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic ,  playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...

I am getting Older day by day

 I have stopped spending too much money on clothing or accessories......... I have stopped thinking too much about pleasing others....... I have stopped looking daily into the mirror ....... I have stopped cooking those time consuming delicious meals for my family ...... TV doesn't excite me as much now ....... My fingers can't scroll for long on facebook....... I don't feel like keeping longer nails - file or paint them....... Am i getting older day by day ? Travelling, Cycling or small get-togethers; I love to spend money and time  on experiences now...... Only the fitness goals push me to  look into the mirror ..... I am able to overlook others' reactions when it comes to listen to my heart.  I recently denied a loved one's advice because my heart was unable to  accept it..... I cry easily now when i relate to someone's emotions , even watching a movie ...... Am i getting older day by day ?  or  Am i getting freer day by day ?  I wish to be dre...
