Triggering Time: How a Song, a Smell, or a Snack Takes Us Back
Travelling time is something that is a huge part of science fiction, and it is something that scientists have been working on and thinking about to make a reality. Still, it is been something that has always been a part of our heart and the wildest dreams that we want to make reality. Still, there are a lot of things in our life that already exist which has the power to take us back in time, and that has been happening for a very long period, which is something that we always enjoy whenever it happens.
There are a lot of such sounds even this smell or the taste of certain food items which can have that capability of evoking a lot of emotions from our past and that is something which is happened so many times because we are in a particular place and we just happened to send a Aroma of something cooking that is going to take us back in memory and having that single mind can also bring a lot of Amazing memories from our past.
Our senses do hold a lot of memories within them, and they are one of the strongest things that can help us travel back in time, and one of the most powerful ones is going to be smell. For me, there are a lot of such smells that are very nostalgic to me, and one of them is going to be while it rains. The smell of rain when it is falling on dry sand is something that is always going to remain very special for me, as that was one of the things that I used to look forward to whenever it used to rain when I was young.
Nowadays whenever I get to smell that amazing smell of soil and sand it's simply makes me travel back in time and remind me of all of the days when I used to make fun while dancing in the rain and playing with friends and it was the sent of wet earth which was amazing and it was pure joy that I used to feel back then.
I remember those rainy days in my childhood when it was something that was a little bit of moment which I was looking forward to whenever it used to happen as there are a lot of activities which I used to get involved in when it was raining as it was a very big relief from the scorching heat and also a great opportunity to play with friends in the rain itself which was agreed experience to be a part of. But now that I am not a kid anymore and also can't play with my friends like I used to back in the day, it has been a really sweet memory for me, and whenever I get that smell, it makes me travel back in those days.
Along with smell the power of sound is also something that can take me back to a lot of Amazing memories because I personally I am a very big fan of music and do listen it very much even now and when I was a kid I used to listen to the music and a lot of different songs when my favourite and when I get an opportunity to listen to song and suddenly one of those particular song you into my playlist that is something that can take me back to a lot of memories which I use to make while listening to the songs when I was a kid.
There were a lot of songs which me and my cousins used to enjoy while been in our room and dancing on the beds and just breaking a lot of stuff in the process as well and later on getting scolded by our parents and those memories are something that are just memories now a days and when the song that were playing back then when we were used to be doing all of those things play now do Trigger a lot of those memories which unlock those amazing feelings as a part of a memory which makes us feel the of freedom that we used to have.
And when these memory flashbacks happen it is a couple of few beautiful moments that I get to enjoy because it makes me feel like a kid again and I forget about everything that is happening around me and those view moments that amazing because I also feel like I am in that particular moment which has already past and it is really and awesome experience to be a part of and everything seems to be fun again like it used to be.
Apart from both of the senses another aspect which is very helpful in evoking amazing fund fast is going to be taste itself because food is something that I am a very big fan of and have been enjoying awesome food items right from my childhood and that is also something which has been making me feel like enjoying those old days as I have pass them because whenever I get to enjoy a certain food which I used to have in the pass and have and had for a really period feel those days when it was staple for me.
There have been a lot of things which used to be a very common food item on my dinner table back in the day but now that it has changed completely I initially try to recreate a couple of recipes which I eventually failed and then all of those food items disappeared from my life and suddenly out of no were when one of those dishes gets prepared by my parents when I visit them it surely brings back a lot of happy memories and that is an experience that I would love to make last much longer than those couple of minutes when it is just a flash back I rather would love to live them again.
These memory triggers are very much common among people as it is something that our brain has a way with our experiences through the sensory nerves and unlike a lot of other things which can fade away from our mind these things do stick around our head for a long period and I just waiting for a trigger for us to relief those moments again and that is what are brain escapable of because everything can be tide to a just simple Saint of something or even a food that is one of our favourite that we haven't had for a long period and all of these things are much more than just nostalgia.
