The Gita For Children - By Roopa Pai

It's one of the oldest books in the world - Questions comes to our mind that isn't it meant only for religious old people? Isn't it very long and,  super difficult to read? Isn't the stuff it talks about way too complex for regular folks to understand?

Prepare to be surprised. Roopa Pai's spirited, one-of-a-kind retelling of the epic conversation between Pandava prince Arjuna and his mentor and friend Krishna busts these and other such myths about the Bhagavad Gita. Lucid, thought-provoking and brimming with fun trivia, this book will stay with you long after you have turned the last page.

Are we giving the right knowledge to our kids? Our children are getting anglicized. We are deeply inculcating secularism in them. While we forgot that our Sanatan Dharma has secularism embedded in it. We should allow them to know our rich heritage, culture, heavenly thought provoking literature. Learning a full fledged Gita with explanation may be difficult to understand so why not try this one. Kids will be glued to this. Just help them understand. That is our duty.

This book is available in Kindle version, paper back and Audible version. Get Audible version 30 days free from Amazon.

This book will deal on the basic concepts of MS Excel which an individual need to know before implementing them in their official activities. I have written this book not as a traditional text book where you only see the explanation of the individual topics. But tried to bring different scenarios we face in our daily office work to correlate the office requirement and MS Excel knowledge. You can find many unique topics such as Trendline, Sparklines, Trace Precedents, Trace Antecedents, Slicers and Timelines are covered in this book.

This is not a typical text book for training MS Excel. This book is written keeping different scenarios in mind of the user. Some key questions which a novice or sometime an experienced person also get in his mind such as-

Practice exercises are also given at the end of all chapters. This book is available in both printed form and Kindle edition. Kindle edition is very handy if one has Kindle monthly subscription.
