Have you ever read a book which you can consider it as a story, fiction, an autobiography, a Self-Help book and so on? I did not come across any till I read The BE Book by

This is a book which certainly differs from others as it has the essence of all the properties mentioned above. The author ha taken great care in bringing out almost all in minute detail without compromising on the flow. This is what that makes this book special since you will not feel bored right from the start till the end.

Let us see what this book is all about. As mentioned earlier, this book is a treasure chest containing innumerable information and I am going to talk only about the gist. Hope you would like reading it and thanks for your time.

The book is divided into 7 parts and 21 chapters. Each Chapter has its unique way of delivering the message which the author has intended to.

The book is all about one magical word BE. The lead character of this book is none other than the author Mynoo Maryel.

Part 1:

Chapter 1: BE me

This part is set at the time period when Mynoo was 3 to 8 years old.

Here there are quite a few mentions on BE which includes

BE Me - Mynoo gets more time to spend with her mom.

BE Strong - Do not share your feelings. It is only for you to know.

BE Vigilant - No one could have a better control on you.

BE Enchanted - Always stay happy.

The part also talks about DIY/TIY (Do It Yourself / Try It Yourself) about the managed solitude. You must ask yourselves as to what you have learned for the day.

BE Learning - This is a never ending process.

BE Courageous - Never let down your courage on any circumstance.

BE Knowing - Always know that there is a way out.

Chapter 2: BE Fun, BE Fab, BE Fufilled, BE Strong, BE Independent, BE Rebellious

I guess the above ones are self explanatory. While part 1 as set up in Mathura, Part 2 was set up in Mynoo's ancestral village. This happened when Mynoo was between 8-11 years old. There was an incident which also remembered me of Kollywood Star Vijay's "Ghilli" where he goes out without anyone knowing from his room and Mynoo just did that.

Chapter 3: BE Wonder Full

This chapter was set up when Mynoo was 11 - 14 years old in Lucknow. Here she starts talking about the palaces and also the secret passages she ends up discovering and exploring. During one such exploration, the passage seemed never ending and it had eventually lead her to the other side of the river amidst watermelon farms. The way this was described was really enchanting.

BE The Leader - Do not let down your followers. Follow your instincts.

BE Magical - Get immersed in the Magic and Wonder of Life.

BE Fine

The way how Mynoo tried to explore a maze and got stuck was just awesome. How did she find the way out?

Chapter 4: BE Free or BE Independent

Mynoo is in her teenage now. She falls in love with a guy and ends up marrying him too. Rather than continuing hr higher studies and finish doing Masters in Genetic Engineering, she lands up in a high paid job.

Things went well initially before her loving husband hits her for the first time. They were in Saudi by then and Mynoo was entrusted with opening a Computer Academy to educate the Saudi Women.

BE Creative

BE Open

In this chapter, Mynoo talks about 15 Minute Time Management. This is an effective tool to see you accomplish things you wanted to.

What really made me stunned was Mynoo meeting the exiled Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin in a hospital which showed even a ferocious dictator gets frustrated.

BE Compassion

Mynoo divorces her husband since all was not well between them.

BE Choice

Mynoo gets attracted to Peter. They both had created lot of successful companies which was floated in the markets of UK and the EU. Peter suffers injury in the brain. Mynoo is now been burdened with managing all the show single handedly.

Chapter 5: BE Connected

BE Learning

BE Knowing

Mynoo takes the yoga camp of Baba Ramdev over the weekends in London. She learns Yoga, Chanting and Meditation. As she suffers some ill-health., she was forced to take a three week off and travel to Bali which is where the Self-Realisation begins.

On reaching Bali, she learns that she will be the only guest for the first 2 weeks out of the 3 week vacation. Imagine her mindset by then...

Mynoo gets a question in her inner mind.

Chapter 7: BE Joy

In Bali, Mynoo gets some amazing gifts from the visitors of the resort who came as a big group on the third week. She also gets a bed of nails from a Scandinavian hippie. The way she describes her first gift where she gets herself submerged into an ocean and seeking the help of a dolphin(her inner self) was surreal.

It is then she realizes that she needs to let Peter go from her life and arranges a happy separation party. Mynoo also reunites with her husband after 18 years.

Mynoo then sets off to Bali again and ends up visiting 36 temples in 6 months.

Chapter 8: BE Awake

Later she realizes that she was not sleeping and was offered the post of President in the American Company.

PART 3: The Big Fat Indian Wedding

Chapter 10: BE Trust

Mynoo's niece gets wedded. Just before that, Mynoo's sister suffered severe pain in her stomach and eventually her uterus gets removed. The entire operation procedure was seen by Mynoo who was in Bali by then through her mind and the same set of visuals were present when she was given the DVD of the operation.

Mynoo contracts some infection now and her face gets swollen up. She believed that she could get well and did she able to achieve it?

PART 7: TO BE OR NOT TO BE

There are two chapters in this which includes

Chapter 20 : Making the BE Move

Chapter 21: Reader's Feedback

My Take on this Book:

This is a combination of self-help, self-realization , connect with the nature which were weaved together by citing the real life examples of the author, Mynoo. Read it slowly and grasp the ingredients / essence because the word BE is a real powerful tool which is effective in the lives of all when put into good use in the right way as it is intended to be....
