“Book Descriptions: Daytime stories for adults! Just as a pebble tossed into a placid pool creates ripples, likewise, the reader must discern which story evokes which rasa within them.
In Sanskrit literature 'rasa' can mean taste, juice, emotion, or mood. Nav-rasas are joy/laughter (hasya), fear (bhayanaka), anger (raudra), romance (shringar), courage (vira), grief/compassion (karuna), amazement (adbhuta), disgust (vibhatsya), and peace (shanti).
Each of these nine short stories originate from a rasa.” DRIVE
