Faithful Fragrance

Fragrance !


Everyone of us would have developed a kind of love to a particular fragrance.
Smell of mother's breast milk is the most divine fragrance so far experienced in this planet. 
Few would love the smell of rose bunches. 
Few would love the smell of our partner's perfume
Few would love the smell of temple or the church or any particular divine spot . 
Few even love the smell of petroleum products.

It is really crazy how a particular smell could make us go beyond time and look back at our lives. I used to eat slate pencils, pencil pieces, few particles of sand during my childhood. In the recent past I came across the slate pencil smell and it took me back some 15 years as if I was sitting in Gejagowri miss's class and repeating the second tables.


The smell of mom's cooking would have a particular place in our medulla oblongata. We would have had great fun eating from  her hands. We would love the smell of food from a road side food shop. We would love the smell of prasatham from our temples, we would even love the smell of local made dishes.

Now why I call this as faithful fragrance?

Because when ever I cross a girl using the same perfume which my girl friend uses, I naturally blackout for a while . 
When I cross the jasmine flowers I remember the way she used to decorate her hair with those flowers. 
When I cross the smell of filter coffee, I remember about the cup of coffee we had together once in our life. 
When I come across the popcorn smell, I remember about the movie we went together and shared a single pack of pop corn . 

Every smell around me kind of reminds me of my Juliet who is fine somewhere and will she even think of me when certain smell gets her attention ? 


Answer me , 
My dear Faithful Fragrance.
