Love at first sight

[rileen]

 "We saw each other many times before we knew each other. What did you think of me back then?"

"I used to call you Petrichor."

"What? ..... why?"

"It is the smell of the earth which accompanies the first rain after a warm and dry spell ......... I loved it long before I knew its name."

That's beautiful. What's brewing? :D

[rileen]

Glad you think so, and that someone is actually reading LJ entries :-)

Not quite sure if anything is brewing, but this came to me as I left the office last evening, and the rain started.

[suku]

Inspiring. I loved it. It's utterly romantic, sublime...:-)

[suku]

Also, I am on LJ daily.

[inspirethoughts]

Beautiful!

I always wondered why there is no perfume or scent made to smell like the earth after the first rain. I could get lost in that smell forever.

[rileen]

Indeed - it seems to be something most of us like. Maybe you've hit upon a good idea - make the perfume! :-)

And thanks a lot!

[inspirethoughts]

Hmm...I already tried when I was doing my Ph.D. Alas failed. :(

[rileen]

Oh! That's remarkable. What was your Ph.D on?

[smriti]

Nice, nice.

(Finally, someone posted on LJ. Yay.)

(For some reason, after seeing Kaminey OST, I first read it as "Petty Chor", as in petty thief :-|)

[rileen]

Hahaha! Petty chor indeed :-p

And thanks, KM! Nice seeing that candle again.

Nice to see you post :D

[rileen]

Thanks :-)

And nice to see you comment - the number of active LJ-ers on my friend's list has dropped considerably.

[deelight]

Marry this girl I say.

[rileen]

Jo aagya :-p !!

Long time - how've you been?
