Memories are olfactory. Find them easier for Memory games to play, For the journey to my childhood Smells of a soap powder. They walk on a mosaicked floor, Parted in green boarders. On which I had walked as If I was on a bridge, Moving from rooms to rooms Hindering adults walking aimlessly. Pillars to my memory house, The legs of a Nilkamal Red Chair With peeled off skin On which I had got in to watch Juke Box or TCN On an LG television, only to sip An orange-flavoured tang in a steel glass. A telephone on the corner stand That smelled of my grandmother, The rusted window sills of my neighbours And the centre table, of newspapers, mixture bowls And too frothy chai cups. Sunny afternoons smelled of oranges And mirrors of Shinkar bindi boxes. Doors closed at the forgotten scents Takes me to my late twenties, Where I drink oranges For the smell of those reminds me of a happier self. Memories are olfactory....
