Fragrance- Merge
into the Soul
Nature has gifted
human race with five senses. Sense of Smell is one among of them. Nature adores
the human race with nose to smell the smell and fragrances and no doubt the
smell of danger too but without the nose. Ami Puri India gives me a chance to find out my liking and disliking about smell and fragrances.
A child enters
into the world of smell and fragrances as he appears on the Earth. A person
grows up in the surroundings of different type of smell and odors. Anyhow he
identifies some smells very clearly, as he supposes to be grown up with that.
The first and memorable odor or smell that a person remembers always till the
end of his or her life is the smell of mother's milk. He or she is nostalgic
for it.
I was trying to
search out in the storehouse of my dump memories. No doubt, many old and faded
memories of fragrances and smells refreshed my past. One of my wonderful memory
that I am picking for my this blog is-I
still remember, How passionate I was for... drinking the she goat milk and the
smell of it was...so sweet ...( for me only, generally people avoid to drink
this milk only due to it's odor as I
heard that... readers know better.). For me it is very soothing and refreshing
to recall the past because this memory has a very special place in my heart and
life- that is related to my Grand Maa too. I want to share it with my readers.
My grand maa gave me a big glass of fresh milk and that was fully filled and
the 1-2 inch of froth layer was floating over the milk. Drinking that milk was
fun for me...As I finished drinking the milk a white mustach appeared at my
upper lip. I looked like a cartoon and my grand maa always laughed at me and I
felt happy to see my face in the mirror.
The significance
of smell is very important among animal kingdom. How a mother can identify her
offspring in a herd...? All animals and the offspring look alike. Probably
every animal has a specific smell that helps the animal to reach to the
particular animal. Many insects reach to their food with the help of the smell
of the food, no matter how far the food is...? Every living segment of this
Earth inherent a peculiar smell or fragrance that helps in the evolution of
life, And due to this smell only a male and a female attracts to each other and
helps in the existence of life.
The odor I like
the most and it is still intact to my soul and it will remain till my life is a
very unique type and it is only one of its own kind. If, I am not mistaken…,
Every Indian likes this smell more or less because it signifies the Nation
India. This smell has been attracting me since my childhood and it has been the
part of my everlasting memories. Whenever the first shower of rainy season touches
the soil and the warm bed spread of the Earth becomes wet and cool for a while,
an excellent and unusual type of smell erupts from the soil - this odor is
beyond comparison. I always inhale this odor and my soul merges into it. I
think every Indian like this odor; although this magic is created by some
bacteria but it spells bound me. It has given a very special name in Hindi- “Mitti
Ki Saundhi-Saundhi Khusbu". Next time whenever first shower meet to
the Indian soil in the rainy season, try only once to smell this fragrance .You
will feel the smell of Indian Soil and will be proud to be an Indian.
