    This book is amazing! Such a unique perspective on emotions. Highly recommend to anyone interested in cross-cultural understanding.

  2. Rishi Kant

    I was hoping for something more poetic. It was more of a scholarly exploration than a heart-touching experience. Still valuable though.

  3. Sarthak Singh

    A bit dense, and the vocabulary was challenging. However, the insights were worth the effort. A worthwhile addition to my library.

  4. Ayush Bhatnagar

    Interesting, but felt a little academic. Not a light read, but definitely informative. I learned a lot about ancient Indian culture.
