My sweet home: Smells and nostalgic memories
 |
| Sweet Home |
The event may be a totally forgotten, yet that fragrance has
the capacity to bring forward that event from a remote corner of our brain and
fill you with all those precious memories.
Memories associated with smell
Though we used to depend on vision over any other senses, smell
is indeed a powerful sense which is closely related to both emotion and memory
(the smell goes pass the cranial nerve to the olfactory bulb, where the smell
is processed, which is also the part of the limbic system, the emotional center
of the brain). So no doubt smell can storm into our lost memories so easily. Though
an ordinary person can differentiate nearly 10,000 smells, no two persons reacts
same to a single smell. Science apart, I wonder the art of nature which created
such a durable and never ending hard drive, our brain. All we have to do is to
give the right keywords to get what we are looking for. The molecules of
different fragrances from my home just have done that. They served as the right
keywords to bring out my wonderful memories to the forefront.
The smell may be of anything, related to our daily
activities (smell of perfumes, petrol, flower, cooked food etc.) and it is
truly amazing that how few tiny molecules have the power of activating such
clear and bright memories. Though they are nothing but olfactory-evoked recollection
of memories; they have the unique power of giving you a good feeling
irrespective of the memory. Even not so good memories seem nice when recalled
as the moment had passed.

Indiblogger in association with Ambi Pur India have given us
a wonderful opportunity to explore our sweet memories linked to smell. When I started
pondering about the various memories and nostalgia kindled by the smell which
hit me recently, I was astonished to find so many occasions and memories to
express and it really became hard to leave a single one. Such is the impact of
our memories of our life and leaving a single piece is often so difficult.
Smell and my home
Different fragrances evoke several sweet memories of
childhood. That was the time when I was free from all the responsibilities,
anxieties and bindings associated with adulthood. On looking back and analyzing
those memories always gives a refreshing feeling irrespective of the memory (it
may not be that sweet when I faced it). Nostalgic smells are there in every
nook and corner of my home and the fact that I still share the same house helps
a lot in this case. I can literally smell my childhood every day.

The smells of cooked food, especially that made by my mother
always evokes some awesome memories. There are many such examples but I will
like to give a special mention to the pickles and chutneys. It reminds me how I
used to steal them in the afternoon when everybody used to sleep. Almost every
food has some nostalgic memories attached to it.
Smell of surroundings
The smell of the surroundings has changed a lot. With increasing
pollution I am afraid; I could hardly trace the natural smells of the surroundings
of my home of the childhood days. But the smell of the flowers and plantation
from the small stretch of garden in the back of my house still reminds me of
the days I used to spend roaming about and playing on my own or with
friends in that small stretch of land. Oh, those wonderful moments! I can still
remember the mango trees we used to have in the backyard (no longer present)
whenever I smell a mango.
Smell of old story books
As I was a passionate book lover, the smell of my old story
books always brings back so many fond memories. I always feel extremely nostalgic
when I have to shift those books due to any reasons. Those were my prized possession
and I still not ready to share them with others (I have really bad memories of
lending books!).
