[Title] => Memory's factory: A journey through scent
[Summary] => A walk across the perfume section of a department store is an assault on the senses: dozens of scents vying for your attention and your business.

[Title] => This celestial carousel
[Summary] => A second after midnight. Things are not likely to change that fast. So why do we still risk fireworks, emotional and chemical, to celebrate the New Year?

[Title] => The mute sense
[Summary] =>
Have you experienced stepping inside an elevator to find another woman passenger reeking of strong perfume? That’s what happened to me recently, and I got so confused that I pressed the wrong buttons ("Is it arrows meeting or arrows separating?") and the door shut tight on me. Desperate for fresh air, I breathed through my mouth and tapped my shoes as if that would help the machine go down faster.

[Title] => A kiss is still a kiss? Maybe not after this
[Summary] =>
There are 3,790,000 Google entries for "kissing" in English alone. Among the top on the list is Virtualkiss.com where you can even send and pick up a virtual kiss in the shape and color of the lips of your choice. If Google had existed when I was in high school in the late 70s, it would have had my best friend exploding in scandalous shame.

[Title] => News by thunder
[Summary] => "I am William, the butler." He would introduce himself as such, in a slow, steady voice, and in a dignified a-la The Remains of the Day posture. He was the main character in an unusual college located in the south of England that I attended years back that offered a strange mix of courses in Ecology, Music and the Humanities. It was ordinary fare for one enrolled in ecology to be walking the snow-covered grounds looking for meager life and bump into chamber musicians crossing the castle’s courtyard in velvety gowns. But let us go back to William.

[Title] => Hope for hair
[Summary] => We seem to be a culture obsessed with hair. I have noticed supermarket shelves lined with a rich array of hair products. We have commercials of hair products that have women swinging their long black hair in such an abnormal fashion that you think that some kind of neurological condition is ailing them.

[Title] => Frequent smileage
[Summary] => I was not in the country when Mount Pinatubo erupted but I could not forget cable news footage I saw of a man who was struggling to hold on to his carabao while they were both being carried by lahar flow. I was holding my breath watching him tug at his carabao but I grew wide-eyed in disbelief when upon seeing the camera, he smiled and waved, causing him to lose hold of his carabao forever.

[Title] => The seat of memory
[Summary] => Churchill said that Russia is "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, tied with a hanky, rolled in a blanket, and packed in a box of white Styrofoam peanuts." Or something like that as Washington Post columnist O’Rourke recalled it in his book "Eat the Rich" (1994), a humorous look at economics. People used to think the brain is as elusive as Russian economics but is it really?
