It is that time of the year when you walk out of your house, the winter air has set in, the sun has gone, the lights are low, and suddenly there is a special sweet aroma that almost pulls you towards it. You look around and wonder; it is almost like everything slows down for the moment.
Many of us have a memory like that. Maybe it was a grandparent’s courtyard, a neighbour’s wall, or a quiet walk home. Scents have a funny way of taking us places and memories, and the best ones are rarely found during the day. They wait for the night.
The sweet smell that your nose was probably searching for belongs to ‘Raat ki Rani’ or the night-blooming jasmine. If you also want that sweet smell in your balcony garden, here is the step-by-step guide to grow them in pots in your balcony garden.
