"I Inspire" Book Auction at Sankalp Beautiful World Event

Inspiration for the Ailing - 'I Inspire' Book Review

The nurses told her, 'It's a miracle, ma'am. His body is responding so well to chemotherapy ever since you met him. Please, ma'am, meet some more patients. They see you and realise that one can laugh as loudly and eat as wholeheartedly even after facing cancer!' Neerja would go with the nurses to wherever they took her, and offered the one thing they needed most at that time: hope." That's the brief and remarkable story of Neerja Malik that is captured faithfully in this book by Megha Bajaj. 

Neerja, who is a cancer survivor twice over, has been literally giving life to cancer patients for 17 years by demonstrating her faith and enthusiasm for life. She began counselling cancer patients at Apollo Hospital. where she was first diagnosed. Today, the hospital runs a support group led by Neerja. In an interview for an article, Neerja says her mission in life is to "Bring a smile to the faces of the ailing. I am on my phone all day, taking patients through diagnosis and chemotherapy. If I can get a smile out of a person who wants to curl up and die; if at the end of it, he or she is ready to face the treatment, what more can I ask for?" 

The structure of the book is interesting. It is in the form of a treasure hunt, which explains the sub-title. The chapters flow as a series of narrations about Neerja's life in the present, highlighting episodes of her miraculous interactions with people who are battling with cancer in various stages. However, each episode has a flashback section where Neerja recollects incidents from her past life. The first one dates back to her childhood days, and her conversations with her grandmother, who tells her that she will discover ten treasures as she grows up. In the subsequent chapters, she gets in touch with the "treasures" one by one. These are insights, or flashes of understanding that Neerja assimilates as she evolves, and each of these helps her face new challenges with courage and wisdom. 

For anyone who is dealing with cancer, or just facing a tough situation, this book is a powerful source of inspiration. It reassures those who may feel hopeless or dejected or fearful, and it may give them a renewed sense of meaning as they face many challenges and look for role models or just someone who has been through it all.

Neerja Malik Speaks about the 10 Treasures in her Book 'I Inspire'

Words of Praise for the Book 'I Inspire' by Neerja Malik

Vandana Trivedi, director assets, IDFC says, "The book I Inspire: The story of Neerja Malik as told to Megha Bajaj is a beautiful bible on life. It has wisdom rolled into the pages and often times I found myself moist eyed with the discovery of each treasure. I plan to gift this to my sisters and mom!

Dear Neerja,

It was wonderful spending a day with you and I feel like I have known you my entire life. Here's my review:

When I first heard of 'I Inspire' by Neerja Malik, I had imagined it to be an inspirational story of a cancer survivor. Which it was, but the story and her life is much more than the C word. The story is as much about her as it is about you and me. Be it, her mischievous childhood days or an even more impish adulthood, the book makes you feel like you have been a part of her roller coaster journey all along.

I have never been a great fan of 'inspirational' books, but this was quite something. 'I Inspire' had me grinning and laughing for most parts. As much as it was fun, it also gave me a sense of tranquility, much like Neerja's real life persona. Give it a read and you'll start to believe the everyday miracle life is.

Love,

Catherine Gilon

Wonderfully Warm Words from Weenaa about Neerja Malik and her book 'I Inspire'...

Precious Memories...

Weenaa Pradhan to Neerja Malik

Neerja Malik, I cant thank you enough for this second copy of I INSPIRE! I want to tell you how much I have enjoyed reading it and in how many ways it has touched my life and inspired me. In a difficult phase of life at the moment with my brother 'facing' oral cancer and my mother struggling with age issues, your book has given me immense strength to cope with the ordeal, accept certain truths and gain clarity of thought. You are a self-made therapist truly my dear. 

Neerja, I must say I INSPIRE is one of the most well-written inspirational books that I have read. It was like pedalling along on your journeys, sometimes beautiful, sometimes hard. It was like you were sitting there somewhere around me and telling me every word of your experiences. Having known you for a few decades, I could give voice to your exclamations and sentences - that goes to say it has been written with so much heart! 

Your treasures can be our treasures I have realised and yes, I am making an effort to apply them wherever I can. Its amazing that one individual can have an abundance of so many of life's experiences and get richer with each one of them.
Friends, this book is for anyone that wants to find balance, peace and strength. Keep inspiring, Neerja Malik.  

Neerja Malik to Weenaa Pradhan

My dearest Weenaa Pradhan...

Your words have deeply touched my soul...

So happy for you dear...

Yes we go back a real long time, nearly 3 decades or so, where you have seen my journey unfold...

Love, prayers and blessings to you and yours always...

God is Great
