The sweet smell of Nostalgia



The start of 2014 has brought me reminiscence from my past.  I spent time with mom like good old days, stayed in the house where I grew up, she fed me well with her delightful recipes and I travelled with her to the beautiful Gujarat.

I picked up pieces of my life which I had lost over time, it was beautiful..

As humans we experience layers of emotions throughout our life. Even the most insensitive amongst us, who do not acknowledge or agree to having felt these emotions, fall prey to ‘Nostalgia’.

As we live through the fragments of our lives, it is good sometimes to go back in time and relive life, as it used to be. It reminds you, where you began and gives a retrospective view of the several journeys one has taken as a person.

While living my life this month, the way I used to, I remembered my old ambitions as a kid. I have opened up to the child in me and I am now listening to what she once wanted to be when she turned 30.. I hope to catch up with her more often and fulfill more of her dreams.. I am certainly more capable now to pick up from where I left..


On this note, the sweet smell of the past must be bottled safely, to be smelt every now and then - the fragrance of nostalgia, it is.

Dear Shubhra,

I never you that this big was blogging. I liked your Sweet smell on nostalgia that set my thoughts rolling back in past recalling from the days when you were born & how time flies to see that new born baby growing into a new born writer...keep it up. Love you. Divakar
