The scent of home

Jaya Siva Murty

The scent of home is a narrative from the treasure chest of my Mother-In-Law Mrs. B Kalyani’s many stories. They'd always start with, ‘My mother said’, hinting at how she had heard them from her mother when she was a child. Each of the stories she shared with me is a life lesson in itself, which just goes on to show that the best way to keep a thought alive is through a tale. And then who knows, that simple thought may span generations.
