Scents and Me

I have some kind of connection with scents. If I smell something which I had smelled months or years before at a particular time or place, I recall all the events when I smell it again. So when I smell a perfume which I d used while I was studying or during a particular ceremony, all the events just flash in front of me :) This also happens with music or a particular food taste. A couple of days back, I was listening to hindi songs from 80's and 90's and boy I could actually recall those good old days of schooling and some very particular events related to that song. When I told hubby about this he was just looking at me and smiling.

Now the latest example is when I was having tea this afternoon in the office. I used to use tea bags at home during last winter. Today, after months I had tea made up of same tea bags. I just took the first sip, closed my eyes and my brain took me back in those chilly days. And no prizes for guessing that hubby was smiling the same way when I told him about this :(

I am sure this must be happening with others as well.

Life's been busy...

Yes the interview I mentioned in my last post went through :) and so there is less time for blogging these days.

Another reason for being busy is that house hunt was on and finally we moved to a new house. Now we have to spend more $$ for rent but its okay because the house is nice and I can catch a glimpse of Manhattan from my bedroom window.
