Frangrance of Jasmine

Have a deep breath of fragrance of jasmines with closed eyes...an eternal smile raises deep from the heart mildly changing your mood to forget all the world around you for a second...makes you feel staying on the waves of ocean...feeling like flying under the clouds that are heavily loaded just about to rain with a throw of fresh air on your face with the smell of mud included...relieved from all pressures of deadlines and client calls...Its a treasure in your hair I say.

There are so many songs on jasmine in our telugu sung by the Great Ghantasala. One song immediately running in my heart is the song in Malleswari movie(old),... "manasuna malleala maala loogene...".

మనసున మల్లెల మాలలూగెనే


కన్నుల వెన్నల డోలలూగెనే

ఎంత హాయి ఈ రేయి నిండెనో

ఎన్ని నాళ్ళకీ బ్రతుకు పండెనో....
 
Heart will really fly away with the singer in this song...definitely you will stay silent for a while to come out of the spell of emotions surrounded your heart to become normal.
 
There is no comparison to the smell of jasmine to any perfumes or deodorants. No one are exception from the magic of Jasmines fragrance. Of course now a days very few girls are having flowers in hair. Its treated like uncultured in this ultra metro modern society. So sad that now flowers are only meant for festival decoration...and for devoting to God in temples or in marriages.

Making garland form the loose flowers is an art i should say. when we st rat tie-knot all the flowers to each other in  a rope...i like to watch the finger of people who are tieing flowers. They dance in an artistically way. You know it gives an excercise to fingers to roll on all ways round.

Think of  in this summer you are under the jasmine tree, the branches are dangling swing by the breeze, you are under the moon shine counting the stars..sleeping beside your mother listening to the stories heading on her hands...the beautiful memories are flying all around my mind...just thinking to disappear from here and immmediately go to home to my mother...now!!!
