#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 .

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...
