🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Another book gift when I was in India.
It tells little stories associated with wise words passed down from Avvaiyar (a female poet from Tamil, southern India, from 12th century), female to female.

It's not something to read like a story, something to open time to time to enjoy the nice little stories,
It's a collection of little famous or historical, or legendary quick stories, so not really something to read all in one go, but something to go back to time to time.
Wisdom and warmth of the ancient India.
