Olfactory

The smell of fresh paint

The musty smell of an old quilt put away for a long time, inside a wooden box bed

The damp smell of settled dust in the old store room

The smell of santoor soap stuck to the roof of my mouth

The smell of dried royal blue chelpark ink, on an old, frayed notebook

The smell of chalk inside a paper box full of saw dust

The smell of burnt kerosene from the glass lamp that kept me company on dark nights

The smell of rain on cement pathways

The smell of your memories is all of this, rolled into one.
