#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 .

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silver Lined Mommy' 

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 how i  had to bear my daughter

Keep Yourself Alive

 Are you alive ? Are you thankful that you are alive ? I am writing this in some spare  time at my workplace and a few minutes ago I got to know about the sudden death of one of our collleagues  . Always smiling and helpful to all , he was in his early forties . Leaving his family and kids crying  , he just decided to fly away , may be to a happier world ( atleast that's what i wish )  Well ! I never intended to begin with  anything of this sort but today's news has left me disturbed you know .  All i can do is to be thankful that I am alive , hale n hearty . Life is so unpredictable you see but still we all have filled our life with hatred , jealousy , competition, ego , leg-pulling , stress, frustration and what not . You or Me can just disappear in a moment and then ?  Let's simplify our life ....a life which is easy going , happy and filled with love for all . Let's stop rushing ! Let's stop judging others ! Let our ego go off with smiles , hugs and gratitude fo
