if you dislike this book you’re not allowed to talk to me idk


it is weird that mehndi is referred to as henna repeatedly when hindi speakers and indians call it mehndi though. i understand for the title it makes sense for westerners but this book is full of hindi vocabulary but you can’t even call mehndi it’s desi name ?!
