I made two of my books free in this last week of #MyFriendAlexa challenge. I also decided to launch my blogging in India books, as a special Pre-Pujo Gift bundle now! There are two reasons behind it. But number one is also the secret behind Blogchatter Challenges.

September means MyFriendAlexa, Durga Pujo and all things gifts and fun. What better way to celebrate than gift my books?If you are a book lover or know someone who loves books or blogging or both share this post with them. I guarantee they will be happy.

Now comes the secret info I promised you.

Why should you do a Blogchatter Challenge?

If you are doing Blogchatter challenge for the first time, or had to leave in between or missed signing up this time, I will make it simple. Blogchatter is a unique platform which gives a shoutout to bloggers the right way. Even if it happens once, it’s special. It’s worth your effort to be given the spotlight in front of the audience who knows what blogs are! This challenge is a study of human nature, as well as an educational and social experiment.

The numbers are just the tip of the icebergs. The journey with #MyFriendAlexa is a way of testing your persistence. Can you do it? I did it three times in a row. Did I ace it? Not entirely. Will I do it again? Definitely!

There’s a reason I wrote a book about Blogchatter challenges. The reason is, they work!

Blogging challenges are not life, but the dynamics are similar. You never ever get, what you give. You may get more or less but its always an experience. You can learn from it, or not.But if you do things at your own pace, without expectations, things have a way of working out. It did for me.

That’s why today I  made two of my books free and two more is on a special promo bundle. If you already have the books you can gift them to those you care about.I owe a lot to these challenges and this is my way of giving back!

Two Books Free!

  Fruits for Life: Nutrition secrets your doctor won’t tell download now!

A healthy life starts early. It starts with what your mother ate when she was pregnant. It depends on what you ate as a child. It depends on your parent’s food habits and your habits in early childhood. As a mother and a doctor, I have always felt the most difficult part of parenting is this trick of needing to walk the talk.T hat’s why my books Fruits for Life and Picky eater are both close to my heart.

Both the books were written during my stint with Blogchatter Ebooks last year.

Fruits are nature’s desserts, full of natural vitamins and minerals. The right amount of fruits in your diet will help you and your family live healthier. You know fruits are good for your health. But which fruit, when and in what amount?

I know that its difficult to write daily. It’s probably even more difficult to edit the work immediately after. But what’s not difficult is trying to write everyday..

This week I read Eighty Hours to save Karen by Sitharaam Jayakumar. I am reading  IPL-ology by Paresh Godhwani, Business Sutra by Devdutt Pattnaik and The 80/20 Rule. The best part of reading books of different genres is it makes me think and understand stuff I never even knew. Just like you need a balanced diet for a healthy body, you need a balanced reading habit to nourish your mind.

If I read about only things in my comfort zone, I would be writing with a fish-eye view. The written word is powerful. It helps you plant those ideas in your brain. What you do with those ideas depends on you. If you want to write on your blog, you need to have things which you can write about. If you don’t replenish your thought pools you do yourself a disservice.

As a doctor, we need to keep on studying to keep up with current scientific researches. The real life of a writer matches this perfectly. If you avoid reading, writing will always be a challenge. You may or may not agree, but you know.

What are suitable reading materials?

• Books
• Newspapers
• Blogs
• Research papers

All this help air your mind with new thoughts and ideas. They help you get out of your comfort zone and challenge your brain to understand concepts and beliefs which are not always in sync with your own.

The power of reading is immense. Ignore it at your own peril.

My favorite quotes on Reading

“We read to know we’re not alone.”
― William Nicholson, Shadowlands

If you love books you know this to be the truth.

The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”
― Alan Bennett, The History Boys

This happened to me when I was reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

When I started reading blogs, a world opened up.  I moved to a small town with my 10-month-old daughter in 2013.My Samsung tab helped me keep track of all my blog subscriptions.But it was more than a year later, when I realized my online journey needed to be shared. I started blogging in 2014.Writing opens up a world of opportunities. But you must make a daily habit of reading to keep writing. I love writing,but I feel unhappy if I am not reading too daily. Thats why in second half of 2018 ,I am going to be careful of what I spend my time on.

It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.”
― Oscar Wilde

That’s a million dollar advice. I read my medical books,fiction,nonfiction ,everything I could lay my hands on . That’s the only way I could write .

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

This is what a writer who feels the art and craft of the written word understands. Books have the unique ability of transporting you from the constrains of time,place and situations.

If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
― Stephen King

The truth . Relative or absolute is for you to find out.

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”
― Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life

A life without books would not be worth documenting.

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
― Charles William Eliot’

A friend who never leaves your side,a teacher who never gives up on you.
