review 2: I'm giving this book three stars because the wisdom contained in it is a perfect wake up call to Indians to do what very few of them do - exercise correctly. Correctly being the keyword. Diwekar covers basic concepts in colloquial language to get across the importance of strength training, cardio and yoga by explaining energy systems and how they affect the muscles and hence weight and body composition. She also has a section about meal planning for each category, helping the readers understand the importance that food plays in a healthy lifestyle. Concise and correct, this would have been a refreshing read except for……The language. She tries hard to cater to the general populace in colloquial English interspersed with a generous amount of Hindi, and in the process two things happen. One, it is hard to take her seriously - example, the word "cribbing" is used incorrectly like most Indians do, and "bitching" and abbreviations like "btw" seems to be ok in a book. Two, Hindi words written in English are hilarious if they have a corresponding English meaning that pops to mind first - example "everyone wants to die haste haste" and "matlab" (I'll let you figure these ones out). In the process of trying to reach out to the average Indian, Diwekar forgets one important fact - not all Indians understand Hindi. By being bilingual, I'm just saddened that this pretty nifty book won't reach a large southern Indian population. less
