I have been in almost five different places in tamil nadu during my school days, because my dad will get a transfer every 3 years. So I'd the pleasure of being in entirely different places at different time lines. I used to remember the good old days in those places I lived. But that is intentional. Some times some fragrances make me remember those days. This is what i called strange. Today I used the sandal powder in the morning, suddenly the sandal fragrance made me remember my days in Tirunelveli. I was wondering how suddenly this happened. Then i realized that in my house my parents were using sandal talc in tirunelveli. So practically i was exposed to the fragrance for a long time. That's why the sandal fragrance made me remember about Tirunelveli.
Similarly jack fruit fragrance reminds me of Neyveli, coz in my grandpa's home in Neyveli we had jack fruit trees all around and turmeric fragrance reminds me of Erode. We'd been in erode for a year where there was a turmeric go-down near our house.
Fragrance has a power to make u remember certain things. Certain memories will be stored with fragrance as the key index and can be retrieved any time if you smell this fragrance. Some thing like a hash table. I don't actually know whether i alone have this instinct or every one. I guess every one will be having this. If u have so, please let me know.
Bye until next blog
