SMELLS and SOUNDS

I love smell of moist soil. However there is no particular smell which causes nostalgia but definitely some sounds and songs which have association with certain incidents. When I was growing up, we lived in a city in Punjab during peak terrorism days. Our house was located in the main market and when there was trouble or curfew the shops would down shutters. Even now when there is a sound of shutters falling I become tense. Certain songs are a part of my childhood when my siblings teased each other.NOSTALGIA
