THIS BOOK HIGHLIGHTS 5 KNOWN FIGURES AND INCLUDES REVIEWS ON 3 TOPICS : 3 PERSONS OF THE 5 MENTIONED ABOVE ARE NOT VERY WELL KNOWN BUT THE QUALITIES THEY POSSESS ARE VERY EXCLUSIVE. THEY CAN BE COMPARED ONLY TO THE MEDICINAL PLANT FOUND IN FORESTS. THESE MEDICINAL PLANTS ARE NEITHER EASILY AVAILABLE NOR MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THEM IS AT HAND. THEY ARE FOUND MOSTLY BY SHEER COINCIDENCE. BUT THOSE WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND THEM ARE BLESSED BY THEIR QUALITIES. IN THE SAME WAY KHANDEKAR HAS BEEN INDEBTED BY SUCH CHARACTERS IN HIS REAL LIFE. KHANDEKAR SAYS "INDEED I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THESE PERSONS IN MY LIFE. I AM TEMPTED TO SAY SO.` THE OTHER TWO SKETCHES ARE THAT OF WELL KNOWN CONTEMPORARY LITTERATEUR.

Excellent, for most part.

Strangely enough, an author renowned and appreciated for his understanding of human nature makes the usual mistake that most males do, due chiefly to a male ego on par with that of a racist that prevents clear thinking.

Racists assume, not only that their - unproven and baseless - assumptions regarding beauty are not only true but therefore held universally; what's worse, they assume a superiority of not just looks but of every other sort, and hold that a proof is provided thereof via physical conquest of others, by chiefly butchering.

This isn't conscious thought, but is of the level that matches early puberty in normal human male. Most adults do know that they do not deteriorate in areas other than physical as age advances, but they fail spectacularly to apply this to gaps of race, gender, or other superficial areas.

And in assuming that young women dress or wish to look good only if males look at them, author makes the same stupid mistake.

Anyone with slightest experience or knowledge knows better. Males rarely know what a woman wears, much less other details. What they also don't know is that women may wish to please a husband, but rarely care about generic male attention, much less relate their dressing to this attention.

As for scientific observation, research shows that most males react to presence of a female exactly in the same way regardless of every other factor but age; that difference of age brings about a reaction only slightly lesser.

Women, however, do notice other women - in detail - and while that provides a negative feedback in the sense that most women do try avoiding criticism from other women, chief motivations for a woman to pay attention to herself and to wish to look well is exactly identical with those of blossoming of a flower. No more, no less.

It might seem poetic when poets compare women to flowers and male attention to that of butterflies and other similar agents flitting amongst flowers for honey and saffron, but it's deep wisdom of a perception not quantifiable.

Considering the standard of other books of Va Pu which I adored this one is nothing, its a so so book.
I was expecting too much from this book, probably after reading G.A. Kulkarni's books I might have felt this one is just okay.
