i do not like the Hindi translation. It feels.. not natural.

Oh the book has become unbearable at this point. I can’t wait for it to just end.
As much as I appreciate that research the author must have put into it, the book is far too stretched for what it has to offer, often repetitive at this point.

Okay, bad things have happened and I just so so so sad right now. I could feel it in my chest, that’s how deeply engrossed I was in the story.

This has been a tough read so far. I mean as much as I appreciate the authors research on perfumery, it’s just too much details.

(SPOILER!!!) Till now, the author has talked about how a habit change starts with wanting a change in the identity rather than wanting to achieve the outcome. But that has been my approach my whole life. Yet there have been times I have been really unsuccessful. I am hoping the upcoming chapters unfolds more aspect of habit change and hopefully I will stumble across what I have been doing wrong all along.

If I could, I would choose the time to stop for me so that I could finish the book without the stress of having to wake up tomorrow morning for work. But alas, I can do no such thing.
The book has gotten very interesting, either because the writer adapted a better narrative as the story paced or I had simply gotten used to his style. Nevertheless, the story was gripping from the very start.

Apparently the writer had researched the grounds of Udaipur and Chittor for the book. He must have put excessive efforts into his research because he barely kept anything out. There are too many elements! I don't think they were even required. And the story is written in FPP so some the events don't even make sense. I don't know, everything so scattered. I really hope it gets better ._."
