Hold my perfume

I was taken aback when I was informed that global pandemic corona symptoms included loss of smelling sensation as most of time even before outbreak of corona I was more or less immune to the aroma of the environment around. But why would a disease result in loss of olfactory is a million dollar question for researchers to work upon.

 Smell is one such thing which couldn't be decoded by technology for otherwise like vision, speech and hearing characteristics that have been remotely carried due to its associated transducers converting them into a signal. Fragrance plays a vital role in our religious manifestation in the form of variety of incense sticks or that  sambrani dhoop which we believe can act as a deciding factor in revitalizing our mood.

Each one of us have own way of getting revitalize that we have been accustomed to. There are lot of brands available in the market that have monetized our crave for refreshment and hence its cost price. Its a bit of wonder how nature has given unique scent to the elements which helps us in concluding the mood of the situation.

I speak about the smell and not to mention about the clothes we wear will be an injustice. A just born baby has a unique connection to the smell of his mother and will be able to determine who its parent is based on the scent of her clothes. As fragrance makes a occasion pleasant and so we do react to the odor which more or less is also part of the developments.

My name is pillow

Hectic!!! Hectic!!! Hectic!!! One simple word that binds entire lifestyle of this generation. There is nothing wrong in this lifestyle as hectic powers us on busy mode which is an indicator of evolutionary development. But the pros end there, why would this hecticness poke its nose in our biological calls? In other word our human biology isn't made to withstand round the clock hecticness!!!

 

Our human biology craves for little bit of interval for its regenerative refreshment. For some it is that interval of playing a sport, involving in a trek, even a glass of drink adds to this list. But to top all this intervals is that diabolic break called sleep. That nap which hammers out all those pestering reality readily putting us on a tenterhook.

A sound sleep cannot be imagined without its bedfellow called pillow. Its just an elevation but still plays a vital role in determine how peaceful we slip into parallel universe at zero cost. Some need it to be soft, some hard and some warm or some cold. Each have their own customized version, with not everyone sharing its uniformity like our view point about this reality. We do think twice to take a nap in new place as we miss our sleeping partner called pillow.

 

 

But this pillow has incremental relationship with our day to day activities. We have used it to fight with our siblings, we even would have used it record our wetting memories or even to keep that safe distance as an act of disagreement. More importantly most of the kisses and hugs would have stolen by this mushy by day dreaming queens.

Fire crackers

 Its been a way to make your moment special that someone would ask you to "have a blast" literally. That spark, that takeoff and finally a glitter, its a virtual treat to our eyes. Fire crackers is that penchant thing that binds the practitioner and the viewer in one thread though the two are totally unconnected.

 Though lately, I have aged enough to handle the crackers with that childish vigor, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the next gen juniors from keeping in touch with excitement once they get a hold on fire bombs to feel as if they have mastered the art of burning a hole into the sky. 

Much said about the crackers and its associated excitement but they too have been under the scrutiny by the environment watchers. Study after study can be seen annulling our quality of letting guards down w.r.t. crackers, they can still be re-sequenced so that we need not be reproachable yet be involved in merry making.

 


Apart from its associated composition, chemical and procedure nothing can be a stifle that could make us ignore while it unfurls itself on the sky distributing color and glimmer to that wanting nature imbibed in us on a common mode. Nevertheless its use may be contested by scientific community but it will continue to rule our tasteful vision.

Make-up mirror

 Majority of young women spend a part of their time in a mesmerizing way, yes! you got it right before the make up mirror aka magic mirror. These happy souls always find time to be insufficient once they hook onto the mirror. They have innumerable iterative to get themselves convinced they are actually beautified. Starting from the hair lotion , to face powder, eyeliner, lipstick and many more.

 


 They spend so much of the time to get THAT RIGHT LOOK, they cannot accept even the slightest variation from the perceived beauty that they start from the scratch to reach the myriad point. And what does this convey? the best friend of the lady love is always that passive mirror.

There may be many like me who speak philosophy that beauty lies inside rather than outside, but to speak in simple we always wished that, our lovable look as grandiose as outside as seen from inside. So do we find it connected, we gift a beautiful garment or irresistible jewellery. We step into the shop and we would have already reached that moment in mind wherein we have seen her decorated with our gift way before it has reached her hands.

 

 

But there has been a tradition in India, once a girl reached the stage of puberty it has been a custom that our elders teach that quality of self beautification to the girl by decorating the girl's braid with flowers and present a photograph to the girl as one of her sweet memory.

Masala soda

 "Excuse me, please share the menu card", this is the first line we communicate at the table as soon as we get into the hotel. Normally waiters handover the menu card and leaves for us to decide from the list. But we can also find some familiar face who stand beside and explain with day's special mouth watering item. We can feel the taste in his eyes. And though we had planned something routine, it breaks our routine and gives that fill-up and convinces us to go for it.

 Influencer are here. They take that risk of changing the way you look at the world and act as a lens through which you can have a more quenchable part of world for you. With the advent of social media, every nook and corner throws you with options that dangerously obfuscate the you in you.

Believe me (ah sounds influencing isn't it), you have a flavor to try, you have a color to see, you have odour to smell. It is what that makes you for the rest of you. Be careful while choosing the influencer who should add the you in you rather that adding him/her in you.

 We might be sailing in the same boat, with same requirement with same goal post but it is not as great that you lose the you in you and just step down to the abys level that you finish off as just another handler of the one dichotomy who has already subjected his dental to the tongue of some unknown.

Here comes the communique

 Its just a piece of paper but it will be a transcript based at what instance it is prepared. It starts with a birth certificate, then degree certificate, then comes the marriage certificate, appointment letter, latest to be added vaccination certificate to conclude with a death certificate.

 These are all prepared with utmost realization to add value to the governing side of our life. They are given prime space while seeking attention of the orthodox genes who seek to keep that distance from emotional part. One slight misspell and we do not know where this will reflect from the system heavily purported for the cause it was functioned.

But there is same piece of paper having ability to fill the space of the memories. Your not so publicized love letters, printed photographs, hand written autographs. They are saved for the best part and helps us to relive the moments when reconnected with their essence.

 This dual nature of a stationery keeps us in limbo on how to evolves into either side based on the content it carries in it without contradicting its applicability. But we the humans fail to grasp this crux and practice duality for a different unappreciative factor.
