I pronounced each and every word and after a while, I felt like I could feel the emotion. “Lost in Translation” is a book that will make you see beyond your world and embrace the newness of other words on your tongue. The illustrations in the book are also something else – they are flighty and frivolous and encompass all life and beauty. It also contains “Jugaad” with quite a cute illustration to go with. It has words such as “Luftmensch” which refers to someone who is a bit of a dreamer and literally means “air person”. It is a beautifully illustrated compendium of untranslatable words in the world and of course it does not cover all the words, but whatever it does, it just manages to melt the heart and leave that smile on your face for the longest time. “Lost in Translation” is the perfect cure for those times. In life, there are times when maybe you just need the perfect word for the way you feel or for the way things are.
