What a beautiful post you brought us today, @tarazkp. I live near the sea and the smell and sound of its waves are part of my life. The rain when it falls here can sometimes be strange because it almost never rains, but its smell of wet earth permeates everything. Sometimes I remember my father with his guitar and his nostalgic singing. I loved to hear him sing and applaud him at the end of each piece. I'll never forget those moments with him. My father died two years ago. A hug for you.
