One Friday in January

Moving on, it seemed like we were the only sojourners towards these parched zones. To make the trip bearable, I thought of myself as a local tourist. But the joke was on me. Because this was not the Mara or Samburu with zebras and lions. We were in Turkana.

33 Unwritten Laws You Should Know and Follow In Life

Came across these Laws over at UpSkillYourLife and so thought to share them with you. You’ll find that they are more of courteous guidelines based on general common sense.

Fondness

Recently, I came across a peculiar term in psychology called synaesthesia. Mostly it is defined as a neurological or psychological phenomenon whereby a particular sensory stimuls triggers a second kind of sensation. Interesting? The fact that such an idea could be named didn’t just blow my mind but also got me curious.

Reading along, there wss an undefined thought (a claim still under study) in synaesthesia that whenever you eat something, (and you liked it), the taste lingers in your head. And it might stay there for as long as you’ll cherish the thought of eating that food/thing again. Such that in future instances, the smell of such foods brings about the particular flavours in your head.  

Isn’t this how we remember how certain fruits tasted better when we were young? Or when you see soap, nails or steel, would feel their tastes in your mouth? Perhaps also, by extension, could it also explain why when you saw commercial ads you’d get a craving for the displayed items? For example when you’d a spot a ad on fries you spontaneously start feeling hungry.
