Odour, simit and street

“An odour can triggers many things to brain” said professor. “You may remember a scene from your childhood or a specific moment in your life. However, as you know human cannot digitalise it yet”. “What do you mean by digitalise, professor?” said young man. “When you hear a pipe, you can record it, or when you see a beautiful view, you can shot. But you cannot do these for an odour that is appetitive”. After this answer, boy starts to think. A lot of memory realised in his mind. He remembered different odours and their remembrance. One of them is about new washed apartment. It keeps on corridors until floor dries up. It is definite and specific scent and he can define when he smells. And her scent... How can he forget it?

Boy bites a part from simit, while its odour is covering the room. It is weird that this kind of simple food's taste is good.

Class is dismissed. Girl got down the stairs and headed out to crowd. She moved through the seller and bought a simit. She bit it, chewed it, and swallowed. It was delicious, but everyday eating simit is unbearable. In a short moment, she thinks that she will never eat it again. Obviously she is not aware the saying “eat big bite, do not speak highly”. A sip is taken from orange juice.

I want to talk about things that peculiar to Ankara. One of them is weather which I point out in my last article. Moreover I will continue to tell about the weather. The second one is simit. At the very beginning of my life simit has a part. This dark, crispy, sesame thing is very powerful. It is filling,tasty and cheap. However, sadly and unfortunately you cannot find this out of Ankara. Thus you have possibly these kind of memories, if you live in Ankara. Having memories also means you walked a lot and saw many nice streets. Streets are the third one. If you cruise around the city, you may discover great places like Ayrancı, Esat, Kavaklıdere and Bahçelievler. Nice, green and silent streets are waiting for you. You can buy a simit and invite a good friend(it is optional). Walk long time. Do not worry about time. Smell the street, bite the simit. After long time you will remember these, not just some exam, project or rude man in copy line. At a moment, you feel that you love Ankara. You may remember a scene from your childhood or a specific moment in your life just by a scent. On the other hand we cannot keep it in our digital media devices.

“I just notice that there is a girl's shade on me. Maybe she is watching me. She comes to near. Now I can recognise her. Her scent, that is totally a sign, she is here. Then her face appeared behind the shade.

I said her I love you. Her response bemused me. She had not any time and she thanks to me.”
